Introduction
Proof of Concept (POC) demonstrates the feasibility and viability of a new product or service. In the present context of a government website, a POC involves creating a website prototype to demonstrate its feasibility and potential effectiveness.
The following steps have been followed while creating a POC for a government website:
Identify the website's main objectives and user requirements: Determine the critical functions of the website, its target audience, and the users' goals.
Develop a design and wireframe: Create an optimized IA, design, and wireframe representing the website's layout, structure, and navigation.
Build a prototype: Using the wireframe to build a working website prototype with critical features and functionality.
Refine the prototype: Use the internal feedback from the presentation to refine the prototype and address any issues or concerns.
Present the POC: Share the POC with stakeholders, such as government officials and users, to demonstrate the feasibility and potential benefits of the website.
Objectives
The Client wants to use intuitive design and omnichannel experience. Which should have but not be limited to the following:
Consistent information: Citizens should be able to access the same information, regardless of their channel.
Seamless navigation: it should be easy for citizens to move between channels, and the information should be organized in a way that makes sense across all channels.
Personalized experience: citizens should be able to access their individual information and services based on their preferences, location, and history.
Mobile optimization: the website should be optimized for mobile devices, allowing citizens to access information and services on the go.
Chatbots and AI: the website should utilize chatbots and artificial intelligence to respond quickly and efficiently to citizens’ questions.
Feedback and reporting: citizens should be able to provide feedback and report issues with the website, services, and information.
Research
1. Approach:
The “Digital first but not only” approach highlights the importance of prioritizing digital channels and technologies in the delivery of products, services, and communication but also recognizes that other traditional channels and methods still play a role and should not be neglected.
