Benefits

Residents need quick, clear answers online

But over time, council websites can lose sight of user needs and call centre demand grows.

We simulate real resident journeys to show where user journeys break down and how to fix them, saving you money.

  • Reduce customer struggle. Stop residents picking up the phone by identifying where journeys become unclear and residents confused.
  • Prioritise based on need. Direct improvement effort where it can best help customers self serve.
  • Learn from best practice. Make improvements faster with recommendations and low friction journey examples.

By making journey insights tangible and actionable, teams can quickly move from evidence to improvement and reduce pressure on call centres.

Why us?

Digital Journey Coach was started by us, David Bishop and Lydia Bishop, after many years tackling usability challenges and improving the efficiency of digital teams in the public and private sector.

Our approach started from a simple observation: even well-intentioned teams often create confusing or fragmented user journeys that don't answer the user need.

We help you reconnect with your customers and serve them better online

To uncover and resolve poor customer experience, we developed a coaching method built on:

  • translating business objectives into customer-focused goals
  • mapping real user journeys to uncover friction
  • providing practical recommendations backed by real evidence
  • tracking the impact of changes over time to build a culture of continuous improvement

Council Insight allows us to share this approach at scale, combining practical experience, a structured methodology and ongoing insight to ensure your website content is clear and effective.

Our reporting doesn't replace specialist designers and researchers. Instead, we help stretched teams know where to focus their expertise to greatest effect.
