The British Government's Design Principles

"Welcome to the first draft of the Design Principles for GOV.UK. This is an ‘alpha’ draft — there’s lots more work to be done and many more resources to be added.

These principles are intended to be ‘carrot not stick’. They’re not a list of bad things to be avoided, they’re a set of principles to inspire you, accompanied by examples which explain things further and code and resources which will make the principles easier to follow."
