Fair enough. In its present state I just don't see gov.uk adding much value to users beyond collating fairly mundane information in one place with a nice interface.
It's nice, but I can't see any reason I'd find myself using the site. If I want to actually use a government service, I don't see why I'd go to gov.uk first when Google can just as easily deliver me to the relevant godawful hellhole on Directgov, whereupon I will find myself wondering why I even bothered in the first place.
- johneth 14y agoI think that's one of the main motivations behind it (the realisation that most people enter [government] websites via search engines). They've designed the pages to be clearer for those use cases - you can read their thoughts and motivations in their design principles - https://www.gov.uk/designprinciples https://www.gov.uk/designprinciples (which are extremely good).
