The document provides an overview of the GOV.UK website, which has 3 main sections: 1) Mainstream content for citizens and businesses, 2) Detailed guidance linking to specific actions, and 3) Inside Government for policy and corporate information. The Mainstream section groups content by topic and relies mainly on search. Detailed Guidance links to specific actions. Inside Government aggregates all government policy content and allows searching by topic, policy, department, and other filters. It provides updates through email alerts. The site is continually improved through an agile process.
Most recently, the strengthening economy has improved the budgetary outlooks of most state and local governments, leading them to reduce their pace of fiscal tightening. At the same time, though, fiscal policy at the federal level has become significantly more restrictive. In particular, the expiration of the payroll tax cut, the enactment of tax increases, the effects of the budget caps on discretionary spending, the onset of the sequestration, and the declines in defense spending for overseas military operations are expected, collectively, to exert a substantial drag on the economy this year. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates that the deficit reduction policies in current law will slow the pace of real GDP growth by about 1-1/2 percentage points during 2013, relative to what it would have been otherwise.

Hidden Gems of Europe - DISCOVERING THE CONTINENT'S BEST-KEPT SECRETSKamil Uğraş TÜRKOĞLU
Europe, continent rich in history, culture, and natural beauty, is often synonymous with famous cities like Paris, Rome, and London.

government policy
11. 3. Inside Government
Policy and corporate information (content that was on
individual government departments’ websites).
Inside Government

a new approach
• Completely different way of presenting
information
• Aggregates government policy content in one
place
• Content is all tagged – to a department, topic,
policy, etc
• ‘Google is the homepage’ – you don’t have to
know your way round department websites
Inside Government
13. Finding what you want -
search
• Split into 3 tabs –
General results,
Detailed guidance,
Inside Government
• Search is designed to
serve up results
relevant to where the
user starts.
• Will also give the option
to see results for the
other 2 parts of the site.
Inside Government
14. Searching by topic
• Content is
aggregated across
departments and
grouped by topics.

headings
describing what the

whole is doing
about an issue.

– Making local councils more transparent and accountable
to local people (DCLG)
Inside Government

with a number of
personalised pages.
But most information
is aggregated with
other departments’
information.

Editor's Notes
Me = involved in writing content for the mainstream part of the site. Qualified to tallk to you about GOV.UK and how to find content on it. Going to talk you through the GOV.UK website, then take questions and then, if there’s time, go through an exercise where we try and find content on the site together with you.
General = mainstream and high-level. Caters for common needs. Short, easy-to-read, not huge amounts of detail.
As Louise said, Gov.uk was built on the premise that “Google is the homepage” and most people will find what they want without using the navigation on a site. So most people will use the search on GOV.Uk or an external search engine. Detail 60% of visits to GOV.UK come from external search straight to a content page; another 5% come from search to a browse page, and 4% come from search to the homepage. In total, 69% of visits come from organic search. The rest are 16% referrals from other sites, and 15% direct, plus a little bit of campaigns etc. The homepage makes up 8% of all landing pages from any source: 4% from external search, 3% direct and 1% referrals from other sites.
Going to explain these areas of the site in more detail later in this presentation.
Detailed guidance = much more detail. Guidance that government has a duty to provide - statutory guidance, rather than general advice. Should give users information to complete a specific action. Detailed guides answer a specific user need for detailed information – usually ending in a user action with government. They are not designed to give general advice, explain government policy or be a dumping ground for information without a home. Use the Inside Government content types for things government is doing and use detailed guides for things the user is doing (or needs to).
Detailed guidance is always linked to a specific article on the mainstream section
Inside Govt = policy documents, statistics, all the corporate and policy info from departmental sites. 20 out of 24. 25 out of 300+
Policy = “Supporting economic growth through local enterprise partnerships and enterprise zones” Owned by BIS (business, innovation and skills), DCLG and DFT Topics = Transport and Economic growth HG notes: DCLG section visits for Feb: google 165,791 (direct) 43,886 planningportal.gov.uk 15,181 bing 12,973 communities.gov.uk 11,593 info4local.gov.uk 9,568
3 tabs relate to 3 audience types. You’re shown a different tab according to which part of the site you’re on.
Top-level page with set format: Issue, Actions, Background, etc
Supporting detail page
Latest page – announcements, press releases, news stories, speeches, etc – in chronological order, most recent first
A ‘get involved’ page showcasing the opportunities to participate in policy development and society
Another example of using tagging. Information tagged to a country, as well as to a policy and a topic
