The building blocks of NYC digital
The NYC Digital Design System is a set of rules and reusable parts for making digital products for NYC government. It’s based on user needs and accessible by design. Government teams use it to make websites and applications that are easy for everyone, trustworthy, and future-forward.
Design system benefits
Consistency
Teams across NYC government can create one consistent digital experience using centrally maintained parts.
Accessibility
Every element has been reviewed to make sure it meets accessibility standards and is usable for New Yorkers with disabilities.
Speed
Teams can improve their most important digital services without starting from scratch. They can make and update products faster and at lower cost.
