About

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.

The United States Web Design System helps the federal government build fast, accessible, mobile-friendly websites.
