Design your service using DWP components and patterns
Use this design system to make your service consistent with DWP services. Learn from the research and experience of other service teams and avoid repeating work that’s already been done.
Components
Components are reusable parts of the user interface that have been made to support a variety of applications.
Hint text
Hint text gives extra information that helps people to answer a question.
Key details bar
The key details bar groups and highlights the most relevant information on a page so that agents can find it easily.
Internal services header
The internal services header shows users what service or system they are using.
Patterns
Patterns are best practice design solutions for specific user-focused tasks and page types.
Add another thing
Help users to add more than one thing of the same type.
Toggle to Welsh
This pattern lets the user change the language used in a service from English to Welsh and from Welsh to English.
Manage session timeout
Use this pattern to warn users that their session is about to end and explain what has happened after the session has timed out.
