HGV Levy

The UK government has introduced a new service for foreign lorry drivers to pay a levy to use UK roads here:

https://www.hgvlevy.service.gov.uk/

It was built by my current employer, Northgate Information Solutions. Guess what technology it runs on?
We had a lot of interesting challenges when building this:
  • Compliance with UK Government styling and standards
  • Responsive design to work on desktops, tablets and mobiles
  • Accessibility
  • Usable with Javascript disabled
  • Translated into 5 European languages
You can read more about this project here on the Northgate website.
