gov.uk is surprisingly easy to navigate and use.
It's often said but the revamped design is excellent and the designers should be commended. I used to have to assist my parents whenever they needed to fill in a government form online and my mum in particular found it stressful, with pages having all sorts of timeouts and conflicting instructions. A lot of services used to be very fragmented and lacked cross browser compatibility. They manage it easily themselves since the UI became much more accessible.
Wow, that site should be used in webdev courses. It is lean, functional and not in any ways bad looking.
