Principles

The GOV.UK Prototype Kit:

  • is designed for prototyping, not for production code
  • requires minimal skills to get started: HTML, CSS
  • should be fully documented in a way that is accessible to the target audience
  • makes use of GOV.UK Frontend
  • allows for server-side code
  • can be extended - for example using NPM to install a module, access datastores, etc
  • makes it easy to share prototypes with others online
