Get started

To make your service consistent with GOV.UK, you should start by checking what exists in the GOV.UK Design System.

If something is not in the GOV.UK Design System, you should check what exists in the:

• MOJ Pattern Library
• other departments pattern libraries
• GOV.UK community backlog

Reuse as much as possible and iterate based on user needs.

Using the Pattern Library

The MOJ Pattern Library brings together components and patterns created by designers and developers at MOJ.

To use these components and patterns you can either:

• copy the HTML code
• copy the Nunjucks code (if you are using Nunjucks or the GOV.UK Prototype Kit)

Contributing to the Pattern Library

You can contribute your research findings, designs or code to the MOJ Pattern Library by commenting on existing discussions or starting a new discussion on GitHub.
