The BIS All-Stars have produced something relatively small-scale in support of their new consultation on credit and store cards: but it works remarkably well.

Working with plain English consultancy Simply Understand, they've boiled the classic 80-odd-page goverment consultation document down to just 10 (and done a nice design job on it too). But then they've gone a step further, and reduced it to a simple web poll asking which of five issues is most important to you. There's a short explanatory paragraph on each, hidden by Javascript thus forcing you to interact with it immediately. Concise, straightforward text which gets you clicking from the off... and makes you think a bit, but not too much. Modest in its ambitions, and all the more successful for it.

And then, when you've cast your vote, it offers you the option to send a pre-constructed tweet out on Twitter (as well as a few other sociable options)... which is how I heard of it, so at the very least, it's worked on one person. Not rocket science by any means, but a wonderful little touch I wish I'd thought of.

Oh, and it all slots perfectly into their existing website. Another good reason to be using WordPress.

It's not the only thing BIS have put out today... more later.
