MUNICIPAL WEBSITE


How might we make the website for the City of San Jose user friendly.

OVERVIEW

Problem

The website for the City of San Jose needs a more user friendly design. It is currently very information heavy. While transparency and open government are essential standards, there is a need to assess what is being offered and to ensure that content being offered is in line with content that users need regularly and to organize it in a way that will ensure they can find what they’re looking for easily.

Solution

Redesign the website by applying established UI standards based on data gathered through user research and continual user testing so that the result is a simpler, easier and user-friendly way for users to find necessary information efficiently.
