@cjforms @GOVUK Appreciate views vary on it, this is the first public iteration and we'll be led by the user data on how the design is working out. Some sizing and spacing tweaks to the header are already planned, and significantly better search is coming soon :)

Does everyone love new @GOVUK apart from me? Why is nearly all the first screenful taken up with a massive slogan? What user need drove that? All we get is a search box - not a Gov.uk strength. Is someone trying to prove that Google is a better home page?

@tomskitomski @GDSTeam I reckon you might like the look of the authentication backlog then😄

English

Sam Dub@samdub·27 Tem

@tomskitomski @GDSTeam Thanks for flagging Tom, this one is a temporary limitation of the GOV.UK account which has improved 2FA on it's way. In the meantime, the 'Stay up to date' section has link that should work for everyone.

@neillyneil @martinlugton @GDSTeam @chao_xian @rrrrrankin Just DM me where to send if Martin or Kelv hasn't already shared a pirate copy 😄

@martinlugton @GDSTeam @chao_xian @rrrrrankin @samdub Smashing. I do recall praising Sam frequently for the quality of his slides. Almost as natty as his beard.

Neil Williams@neillyneil·20 Tem

Hey former work besties @gdsteam. Do you still do check-ins the way we used to do them on GOV.UK (or better)? Would you be willing to share a recent check-in slide deck with me? Showing my new work besties. Ta. @chao_xian @martinlugton @rrrrrankin @samdub

...and we're live! 🚀

From today, you might find that the topic pages on @GOVUK look a bit different. As we want to make it easier to navigate, we’ve started running an A/B test of our new topic page design. Learn more about our work here: gds.blog.gov.uk/2022/03/01/pod… #GovDesign

Sam Dub@samdub·17 May

@Rchards @GDSTeam @GOVUK Thanks Richard, I'm definitely keen to share more once the test is complete. I blogged back in November about a similar test we ran in November which might be of interest: insidegovuk.blog.gov.uk/2021/11/11/lau…

Richard Stirling@Rchards·16 May

@GDSTeam @GOVUK Please talk more about how you set up the A/B test and the ethics approval (great evidence for colleagues in OGDs)

GDS@GDSTeam·16 May

In a few days time, the topic pages on @GOVUK will look a bit different for some of our users. We want to make the site easier to navigate, so we’re running an A/B test of our new topic page design. Learn more about our work here: gds.blog.gov.uk/2022/03/01/pod… #GovDesign

Potentially the biggest user-facing change to browsing GOV.UK since 2014-ish, v excited to see how this performs in the A/B test
