  • Govt.nz takes on Citizenship and Authentications

    Found in Blog / Published 16 December 2016 / By Meg Howie

    At the end of October, the Govt.nz team kicked off our latest pilot looking at NZ citizenship and how to get documents authenticated. We’re working with Service Delivery and Operations — part of our family here at the Department of Internal Affairs (DIA) — to redesign the content around user needs while shifting it from the DIA website on to www.govt.nz.

  • Opening government data

    Found in Blog / Published 28 November 2014 / By Aimee Whitcroft

    Mid November saw Christchurch invaded (in the best of ways) by the Nethui South crowd. The day before, Open Data Day 2014 saw people from NZ’s open government and open data spheres meeting, catching up, plotting and scheming.

    Again, in only the best of ways :)

    I went down to represent the Govt.nz massif. With me was my colleague Rowan Smith, there on behalf of data.govt.nz. He was also there to help me answer any particularly technical questions.

    I was there to introduce Govt.nz’s mission in…

  • Responsive web design: a case study

    Found in Blog / Published 03 September 2012 / By Nathan Wall

    Have you looked at your site recently using a mobile phone, tablet or netbook? Is it all a bit ugly, hard to read, or just completely broken?

    If your site has been around for any length of time it was probably designed for a screen size of 1024×768 pixels, or even something a bit bigger. Maybe it looks 'OK' on a tablet, but squish it down to a 320×480 pixel screen used by many mobile devices and you probably can't read it that easily.

    Now look at your site on a 27-inch widescree…

  • Govt.nz - how we create our content

    Found in Blog / Published 31 January 2014 / By Alison Jack

    It usually takes me more than three weeks to prepare a good impromptu speech.

    Mark Twain

    I’m sorry I wrote you such a long letter. I didn’t have time to write you a short one.

    Blaise Pascal
    Making content short, concise and easy to read is hard.

    The content process we’re developing for Govt.nz includes examples of good practice from across government — which is to say that we stole and have reused some of the best processes we could find.

    We’ve previously written about how we designed conte…

  • We Built a Site Just to Throw it Away

    Found in Blog / Published 18 March 2013 / By Nathan Wall

    We’ve just completed the ‘alpha’ phase of the project to redevelop newzealand.govt.nz by creating a prototype website. Prototyping is a method used to get feedback from users about future designs. In recent times, many governments around the world have used prototyping as a way of increasing the user-centred focus of the site they’re building.

    We built our prototype site knowing we’d throw it away to make something that was better. This is kind of scary stuff, and not how most of the project te…

  • Free code: Event Tracking for Google Analytics

    Do you use Google Analytics (GA) for tracking visitors to your website? Yes? Then read on. If you don’t currently use GA on your website then this post isn’t going to be relevant for you. But I would then ask, you are using something to track your site’s users aren’t you?

    Note: Throughout this post I just talk about GA, but this script can be used with Urchin too. Also, be warned that this post is aimed at web developers with a technical background.

    Where to startI spent almost 2 years working on the Govt.nz project.

You can read about what I learned from that project in my previous blog posts.
