FCC Website to Be Redesigned, Relaunched in December

The Federal Communications Commission is performing a large-scale redesign of its website to improve usability. The switch to the new site is scheduled to begin on December 9, 2015 at 8:00 PM EDT and be completed by 12:00 AM December 10, 2015. While the transition to the revamped site is expected to be completed almost instantaneously, there will be an ongoing process following this transition that will continue to involve user feedback, fixes by the FCC’s Information Technology team, and content updates by policy bureaus and offices. The new website is designed to provide better functionality, an improved design, and better searchability and navigability. Extensive user research revealed how the FCC could improve the website’s information
architecture to make content easier to find.
