About
The GOV.UK Design System is an open-source design system that provides styles, components, and patterns to help UK government teams build consistent, user-centered digital services.
It includes reusable and accessible UI components for forms, navigation, and content, documented patterns for common user tasks, and design guidance for layout, typography, and color, with code examples released under an
MIT license and regularly tested to meet WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility standards.
Material Design is a design system developed by Google that defines a unified visual and interaction language used across Android, web, and other platforms.
It uses grid-based layouts, consistent color palettes and typography, interactive "elevation" shadows and lighting to convey depth, motion and animation for user feedback and transitions, and a comprehensive set of ready-to-use UI components.
