Nebraska Supreme Court

Government Web Design & Website Development

The Nebraska Supreme Court’s website is a critical tool for communication, education, and operations. As a resource for both attorneys and the public, the Court’s new website is focused on the user experience, placing key information and time-sensitive content at the forefront. The navigation is clear and streamlined and includes key callouts such as directories, forms, and self-help. A quick resource menu requires fewer clicks to get visitors quickly to where they want to be. The unified navigation structure throughout the website provides a better user experience.

The extensive collaboration on the Nebraska Supreme Court’s website began with research. UNANIMOUS conducted research through a variety of means, including Google Analytics, back-end administration review, and stakeholder focus groups. This helped inform recommendations for creating an organized, accessible, and easily-managed website.

Working with UNANIMOUS to redesign the Supreme Court website was a very positive experience. Starting from the thorough analysis of our site content, all the way through design, testing, and implementation, I was impressed with their professional approach and depth of knowledge. The team that we worked with was always very responsive, and our project came in on time and resulted in a great end product.

Court Website Features & Functionality

The homepage features quick access to timely information such as Court opinions and rule amendments. Seven directories were consolidated into one dynamic interface. New robust search capabilities allow visitors to easily find and locate specific content.

Managing the website’s 50,000+ pages is also more efficient. Seventy content types were reduced to 33. The flexibility of the Drupal CMS allows website authors to schedule and post content for set timeframes, export and import data, and utilize back-end processes to support efficient content management. An Intranet component provides easy access for its 1,900 users.

The website design is responsive, making it accessible on all devices, including desktops, laptops, tablets, and smartphones. This is especially important as more people with limited means may use only tablets or smartphones to access the Internet.
