The Cabinet Office
What the client wanted:
Having produced Guidelines for UK government websites (which Right Dynamic helped edit), the Cabinet Office needed to respond to the ideas of accessibility and usability that had become prominent during 2000.
To do this the Cabinet Office and the office of the e-envoy wanted to set up a Government Committee on web design best practice.
In 2001, Right Dynamic was approached to set up and chair this committee as well as produce the resultant consultation document.
What we did
- Invited key people from the internet industry, academia as well as government to join the committee;
- Liaised with Cabinet office to ensure all angles of web expertise – with particular focu on government – was covered;
- Chaired the meetings of this committee over a two year period; and
- Wrote the consultation document: Quality Framework for UK government website design.
What the outcomes were
- Government webmasters finally had a set of best practice guidelines;
- Our word answered the question: 'What is a good government website from a usability perspective?';
- A better understanding of accessibility and usability across government web sites and departments; and
- The document set new standards for web sites and is still in use today.
