Our intention is to start the alpha phase in the coming months. We're also working out how much time and effort the platform can save service teams, in preparation for the next spending review.Īlongside all of this, we’re working with the cross-government form-building community to define what a good lower-volume form looks like and how we can embed the principles of the Service Standard into our product. We've been reviewing the existing government form builders for accessibility to see what they do well and how we might make use of them. We're conducting user research with participants from across government so that we can further investigate how document-based forms come to be published on GOV.UK and where the problems are for users. What are we doing now?Ĭurrently, we're building a team - we're in the process of recruiting an interaction designer, a service designer, technical architect, developer and content designer. There are also some commercial form-builders on the market, but we aren't currently convinced that these are suitable: we want to provide a solution that's accessible for all users, and not prohibitively expensive for small operations teams. However, they're currently aimed at digital specialists rather than generalist users we’re aiming our service at teams that don’t necessarily have any specialist digital skills. These are very capable solutions, and we hope we'll be able to make some use of them. This process resulted in the creation of browser-based editors like XGov Digital Form Builder and MOJ Forms, and code-based editors like the GOV.UK Design System Form Builder created by DfE Digital. Teams across government have been developing form-building platforms, and the cross-government form-building community was founded to coordinate these teams and avoid duplicating work.
