Focus on decisions, not tasks

Most of my guides start with: what this is, who needs to do this, why you need to do this. If you don’t confirm that people are on the right page doing the right thing for the right reasons, they can go really far in the wrong direction.

Most government websites don’t explain any of this. They just tell you what they want from you to complete the part of the task that concerns them. They don’t bother to treat the task as part of a bigger decision. They just assume that you are here because you know what you are doing.

Based on this comment I think you would appreciate Every Page Is Page One a lot. The basic idea is that people can and will land on any random page of your docs site, so every page needs to quickly ground them and make it super easy for them decide whether they're on the right path or no. That's where the book title is coming from. Literally any page of your site might be page one for a user.
