Session Recording: https://youtu.be/7_6Q7rqHCVY

The U.S. Web Design Standards are a library of design guidelines and code to help government developers and designers quickly create trustworthy, accessible, and consistent digital government services -- and as of this summer, it has a Drupal theme! This session will include a whirlwind tour of the Web Design Standards, some extolling of its virtues, and a demo of the USWDS theme for Drupal 7 and Drupal 8.

Among the questions to be answered are:

  • What are the U.S. Web Design Standards?
  • What does it mean to “use” the standards?
  • What are some reasons to use them?
  • How does the USWDS Drupal theme help?
  • What are the configuration options in the Drupal theme?
  • What does the Drupal theme look like, out of the box?
  • How can the Drupal theme be customized for a specific site?
