Best practices on GDS Power Portals (TODO)

• Avoid Web Forms like the plague
• Structure and hierarchy of URLs/site map
• Keep contents of a page to a single subject, minimising scrolling
• Always include a lead paragraph
• Prefer a "what you need" page before each section
• Get over your great of having too many pages - it's better than fewer long pages with lots of text and/or data entry
• Include "Check your answers" pages even if it's one page if it keeps the whole section consistent
• Test your UX regularly and often with end users
