Trump launches America by Design initiative to overhaul federal services Investing.com -- President Donald Trump signed an Executive Order Thursday establishing the "America by Design" initiative to improve the usability and aesthetics of federal government services. The order creates a National Design Studio and establishes a Chief Design Officer position to lead efforts in enhancing both digital and physical federal spaces. The initiative aims to reduce duplicative design costs, implement standardized design practices, and improve public interactions with government services. The Chief Design Officer will be tasked with recruiting top private-sector designers to support the initiative. Agency heads are directed to collaborate with this officer to implement improvements at their respective agencies, including website and physical interface enhancements. The order also calls for updates to the United States Web Design System and ensures compliance with the 21st Century IDEA Act across government agencies. The initiative addresses significant issues with current federal interfaces. Among an estimated 26,000 federal websites, only 6% are rated "good" for mobile performance, and 45% are not mobile friendly. Less than 20% use code from the United States Web Design System, resulting in inconsistent user experiences. Legacy government systems have been costly to maintain and difficult for Americans to navigate, with poorly designed interfaces undermining public trust in federal service providers. The Trump administration has previously implemented several government modernization efforts. These include reducing the backlog of veterans waiting for benefits by more than 37%, modernizing government payment systems from paper to electronic methods, digitizing federal retirement paperwork, and simplifying funding opportunity announcements with plain language.
