Having had a quick look at the gov.uk beta site, my first impression is that it’s been very well designed (Maude hails gov.uk beta as another milestone in government IT transformation). Clean, simple, and usable – the graphic designers have been kept on a tight leash!
Also impressive is that mobile usage has been thought about up-front – the same pages work equally well on a phone as on a desktop, with only a minor (but important) adjustment to layout showing that the site does actually notice when you’re using a small screen.
Obviously can’t comment on services that will be delivered yet, there’s not enough there, but it’s a good start, and I hope they keep it up.
