What We Use
We use the U.S. Web Design System (USWDS). It gives us:
- Design components (like buttons and forms)
- Style rules (like colors and spacing)
- Tools and tips for building websites
This system helps users know what to expect when they visit federal websites. It also makes sure our sites are:
- Easy to use
- Accessible
- Consistent in writing and design
Important Note
Do not use other design tools or frameworks like Twitter Bootstrap. Stick with the U.S. Web Design System to keep everything consistent.
