BIS Digital Communications
By December 13 we will:
• Have ‘transitioned’ 90 per cent of the BIS web estate to gov.uk
• 1000s of pages and documents archived• 80,000 words re-written• Redirected approx. 4000 pages• All content in plain english
BIS Digital Communications
Lessons…• Plain English is a hard sell • Writing policy to GDS style is harder than it
sounds• Too much sub-standard content on our website
over the last few years. • An agile approach can take a while to
get used to
…and advice
• Ditch bad content (and apologise later) • Explain what GOV.UK is all about - and repeat • Plan effectively - lots of people involved • Detailed guides great for saving technical
jargon from the bin • Focus on content mapping (the 'Harvester') • Don't worry too much - transition to GOV.UK is
the start, not the endBIS Digital Communications
