GEL

The Global Experience Language contains Foundations, Patterns as well as CSS and Markup and is constantly evolving. It will be of particular interest to designers and developers in helping to bring their ideas to life quickly and coherently.

Foundations

The core elements of any new West Sussex County Council project, dealing with layout, navigation, typography, colour and iconography in a modular, device and screen size agnostic manner.
Patterns

A responsive system to support designers, developers and teams to begin the build of products, apps and services based on a core collection of flexible consistent elements.
Best practices for creating forms

Guidance on the design and implementation of forms for the WSCC website.
CSS and markup

Modularity, scalability and ease of maintenance are key to approaching the structure of the front end code on which the Foundations and Patterns are built.
Use of other logos

The County Council's stance on using other logos on this website.
Banners
