The america.gov thing is an embarrassment but the middle of the rant about US government web sites being worse than the private sector reminded me of how much I appreciate the gov.uk infrastructure.
It’s designed to work well with low-bandwidth devices. It works well on large and small screens. It runs in ancient browsers. It has a consistent interface. The buttons are big and clear. It doesn’t use colour contrast that’s problematic for colour-blind users. It works well with accessibility tools. It has its own extended markdown variant that captures semantic markup for common things so that they can be usefully exposed structurally to other tools.
Private-sector web sites could learn a lot from it.
