Currently Hof uses the deprecated Gov.UK Frontend Toolkit which itself does not meet legal WCAG 2.1 accessibility standards. The replacement Gov.UK Design System is necessary for new services in particular to meet:

  2. Align to the Gov.UK Browser compatibility list
  3. Incorporate newer frontend components and patterns.

  • Newer style sheets, JS, and assets
  • CSS styles are prefixed with gov
  • Use of Nunjucks for templating. Appreciate Hof uses Mustache
