GOV.UK - Deserved winners?
The Gov.uk website won the ‘Designs of the Year 2013′ award, but why?
On the surface it doesn't look like anything all that impressive.
However, maybe it’s not what the design looks like but what it has accomplished that is so remarkable.

Industry Insider - Education |
|
|
In 2012 university applications dropped by 8%, and again in 2013 by 6%.
Unsurprisingly, we have seen a influx of education and University clients as changes in the market, in particular tuition fees, have altered the way the universities look at their business models, and critically their digital strategies.
|
|
Inspired by this we have decided to look at 10 different universities and assess their online presence to see if they are making the most of user experience to attract new students. This report is coming soon - request your copy to get it before anyone else.
See how we worked with the University of Hull to help them improve their student experience - a really interesting user-centred design project!

We're growing so we have loads of exciting opportunities for great people in user experience and project management, including:
-
User experience consultant
You'll lead on UX projects, supervise consultants and help manage client relations.
We're looking for that special someone to set up, implement and own the necessary structures and processes for project and program management across Webcredible.
Interested? Email uxjobs@webcredible.com with a covering letter and CV and you could be working here sooner than you think!

As the summer feels like it's starting to arrive (or has perhaps come and gone) we are getting really excited about the months to come. In the next newsletter we'll be talking Digital Strategy.
See you then!
