E.g. if you search ‘DVLA vehicle information’, you will land on this page https://www.gov.uk/get-vehicle-information-from-dvla and you have to click ‘Start Now’ to get the page you actually wanted. The same is for logging in to HMRC Personal Tax
I’d like the actual form I want on the same page
The GOV.UK Design System team [1] is really doing great work. Wish there would be more like this from other governments. [1] https://design-system.service.gov.uk/design-system-team/ Edit: Apparently there are a lot! Really nice to see.

No frills or silly scroll jacking animations plus javascript hogging contraptions that we see in almost all websites these days.
This gives me hope.
Honestly, the people behind the scenes of gov uk are doing gods work. See nothing but great stuff coming out of there.

One niggle I have is the departments’ over-use of forms (from my perspective) in employing the ‘landing page’ pattern. E.g. if you search ‘DVLA vehicle information’, you will land on this page https://www.gov.uk/get-vehicle-information-from-dvla and you have to click ‘Start Now’ to get the page you actually wanted. The same is for logging in to HMRC Personal Tax I’d like the actual form I want on the same page
I think ultimately, it works quite well.
