Public Services

One task per page. No dead ends.

The short version

Public service sites are used by everyone, including people who find the web hard. We build task-first, plain-language, accessible sites and the online forms that go with them.

§ 1

What’s broken

  • Services are described, not completable.
  • Forms are PDFs; status is a phone call.
  • The site is inaccessible to the people who need it most.
§ 2

What we build

  • Task-first services Each service as a page with eligibility, steps and an online form.
  • Online forms and status Accessible, secure, with confirmations and tracking.
  • Plain language and accessibility Written and tested to WCAG 2.2 AA.
§ 3

Three things you could walk away with

  1. A public service website Accessible custom build with task-first services.
  2. A digital form and case status system Online applications with status updates.
  3. A multilingual service section Translated, accessible service pages.
