The Trump administration’s “America by Design” initiative aims to overhaul roughly 27,000 .gov websites within three years while updating the U.S. Web Design System. Ars Technica reports that the effort is struggling, with a small National Design Studio team facing an unusually large mandate. The project is also affected by cuts and organizational changes, including the dismantling of the 18F technology unit and the restructuring of the U.S. Digital Service under DOGE. The resulting designs reportedly raise concerns about usability, consistency, accessibility, and centralized technology governance.
