Content design systems — practical lenses from GOV.UK

GOV.UK is the 8th most visited domain in the UK. But its fundamental information architecture is more than 13 years old. There’s a growing need to revisit how its content is structured, in particular its fundamental content model, so that it can evolve to meet user needs in a changing, multichannel, world. This session outlines the opportunity for government and provides practical lenses for those wrangling with content-first design.

About the speaker:

In particular, by modelling it for reuse, accessibility and durability — independently of any single technology, channel, or presentation layer.
