These design patterns and components are evidence-based solutions to common design problems for the government's digital services.
Project teams building public-facing digital services and websites must use the applicable patterns.
These online design patterns and components benefit project teams because they:
- avoid repeating work that’s already been done;
- avoid making mistakes we've already learned from;
- save time when designing a digital service; and
- build on the research and experience of teams across government.
Design patterns and components benefit the end user because they make services consistent. This makes them easier for people to use!

We'll continue to update and add to this list as we test and learn more about how people use the government's digital services.
