Designing content for citizens and services
Content Design in government is about more than writing. It’s about making information accessible, accurate and useful, so that people can complete tasks and access services quickly. From the words on a page to the governance structures that keep content consistent, every part of the process supports trust, clarity and usability.
This service spans strategy, planning and delivery. It includes content strategy, SEO strategy, and information architecture to ensure information is structured, findable and aligned with government standards. Brand voice and tone of voice frameworks help teams maintain consistency across departments and services.
Practical delivery is just as important. Our approach covers UX writing for services, plain English copy for guidance, and content audits to keep material accurate and up to date. Governance processes are built in to ensure that content can be managed, maintained and improved long after the initial delivery.
Key outcomes:
• Clarity – accessible, user-centred content designed around real needs
• Consistency – brand voice and tone aligned across channels and services
• Findability – SEO and information architecture that make content discoverable
• Sustainability – governance, audits and processes for ongoing improvement
Our Content Design approach
The work starts by understanding users: their needs, contexts and pain points. This evidence forms the foundation of the content strategy and ensures that every piece of content has a clear purpose.
User research, data and analytics are central to the process. By analysing search terms, user journeys, performance metrics and feedback, we identify where content is working, where it’s failing, and where improvements will make the most impact. Evidence-driven insights ensure content is shaped by real behaviour, not assumption.
Information is then structured through IA, SEO frameworks and design patterns, ensuring it can be found easily and understood quickly. UX writing principles guide the creation of copy for forms, transactions and services, while brand and tone frameworks keep communication consistent across government teams.
Governance and processes are embedded from the outset. Audits, workflows and guidelines help maintain quality over time, ensuring content is accessible, accurate and aligned with standards like GDS and WCAG. This creates a system where teams can continue to deliver and manage content effectively at scale.
