Improving Government’s Web<\/h1>\n\n

Engagement Summary<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Citizens were invited to participate in a card-sorting exercise to help understand the ways citizens group information on a government website. Card sorting is a simple way for many people show how they would organize content, thus helping inform how to organize government content to best suit citizens\u2019 needs.<\/p>\n

Participants were asked to individually sort 40 topic cards into themes they felt best suited for each topic.<\/p>\n

Fifteen themes (groups) were available to participants with a total of 220 topic cards to sort.<\/p>\n

In March, a prototype of the new site was publicly tested for usability during six sessions held in Richmond, Kamloops, Merritt, Ganges \u2013 Salt Spring Island, Victoria, and Prince George. The majority of participants described the new site as \u201cclean,\u201d \u201cprogressive,\u201d and \u201ceasy to use.\u201d Some of the feedback suggested further refinement, and having made those updates we did another series of user testing to validate the final revisions.<\/p>\n

On June 21, 2015, the re-designed site was launched.<\/p>\n
