Ann Combe Northern Territory Government

The Northern Territory Government has recently completely overhauled its websites and has launched a central site to make it easier to find government information: nt.gov.au,

  • organising information by subject so users don't need to know how government is structured to find what they need
  • improving search, and rewriting content to make it easier to understand
  • ensuring it works better on smartphones and tablets.

Hear about their experience, and what they learned with this major undertaking.

About Us

Co-founded and now run by John Allsopp, Web Directions has for over a decade brought together leading developers, engineers, visual, IxD, UX and product designers, Art and Creative Directors, indeed everyone involved in producing web and digital products to learn from one another, and the World's leading experts across this vast field.

We spend our lives thinking about what comes next, keeping up with trends in technology, practices and processes, and filtering the hype, to make sure you don't miss trends that matter, and don't waste time on hype that doesn't.

We promise attending one of our events will leave you significantly better versed in the challenges you face day to day, and in solutions for addressing them.

In 2016, we'll be organising Respond in Sydney and Melbourne, Transform in Canberra, Code in Sydney and Melbourne, and Direction in Sydney.
