Best practices on GDS Power Portals (TODO)

  • Avoid Web Forms like the plague
  • Structure and hierarchy of URLs/site map
  • Keep contents of a page to a single subject, minimising scrolling
  • Always include a lead paragraph
  • Prefer a "what you need" page before each section
  • Get over your great of having too many pages - it's better than fewer long pages with lots of text and/or data entry
  • Include "Check your answers" pages even if it's one page if it keeps the whole section consistent
  • Test your UX regularly and often with end users
