User experience
Ubacity is built around a series of bespoke user experience solutions. These help differentiate audience groups, enabling them to find content quickly and easily
Just a few of these solutions
A straight talking action panel which tackles task driven users
Instead of an overwhelming menu, the user is simply asked what it is they’re looking for. Prefilling smart search handles the majority of requests and the 'Action Panel' prompts users with a series of suggested services. Simple.
A broadcast wall which engages inquesitive browsers
Not all users are task driven. Ubacity also caters to those seeking to browse and engage with Council. The 'Broadcast Wall' allows users to discover events, news and other engaging content without distracting the task driven.
Localisation which tailors the entire site for each user
Ubacity’s 'Near Me' feature is integrated throughout the entire site. Once a home location has been defined, the site dynamically populates with useful info like my bin day, my ward and nearby events.
Responsive
Ubacity is built for mobile, not just adapted for it. No compromises are made when your site responds to today’s range of devices
How this is achieved
Utilising touch screen gestures
Mobile gestures enable content areas to be condensed whilst ensuring they are still accessible, reducing vertical scrolling. Users with slower connections will also thank us.
Making full use of mobile connectivity
Modern mobile devices can do things a lot of desktops cannot, such as utilising GPS, taking photos, making calls, or accessing maps. Ubacity is enhanced, not limited by mobile.
Usability
Council websites should be accessible by everyone. We’ve ensured that Ubacity caters for the vison impaired, and people with low motor skills
Accessibility requirements
WCAG AA – Pass
To you and me, this means Ubacity is seriously legible. Your site is inclusive and accessible to all members of the community, on all types of screens.
Clear and consistant wayfinding
Carefully considered link styling, navigational cues, related pages and strong focus states mean wayfinding is a breeze for all users, even without the use of a mouse.
