The Challenge

Why This Matters

Government systems are notoriously difficult to use — low adoption undermines mission value and wastes investment.

1

Systems built to spec but rejected by end users who find workarounds

2

Accessibility complaints and Section 508 compliance failures

3

High training costs due to unintuitive interfaces

How We Work

Our Approach

1

User Research

Interviews, contextual inquiry, and usage analytics to understand real user needs.

2

Information Architecture

Define site maps, user flows, and content hierarchy.

3

Wireframing

Low-fidelity wireframes iterated rapidly with stakeholder feedback.

4

Prototyping

High-fidelity interactive prototypes in Figma for validation.

5

Usability Testing

Test with real users — including those with accessibility needs.

6

Design System

Component library and documentation for consistent implementation.
