Contact the team
HMCTS Frontend is maintained by a team at HMCTS. If you want to know more about HMCTS Frontend, please email the Design System
team.
Quick start
We recommend installing HMCTS Frontend using node package manager
(npm).
Once installed, you will be able to use the code from the examples in the
HMCTS Design System
in your service.
Browser support
HMCTS Frontend will allow you to build services that comply with the guidance
in the Service Manual.
If you are including HMCTS Frontend as part of a stylesheet that you are
generating in your application's build pipeline, you will need to generate and
include a separate stylesheet in order to support Internet Explorer
8.
Assistive technology support
HMCTS Frontend will allow you to build services that comply with the guidance
in the Service Manual.
In addition, we test that all content is accessible with keyboard only.
We aim to support users who adjust or override the colours of websites they visit. We test this by changing colours in Firefox, by enabling 'High Contrast' mode in Windows and by using the High Contrast plugin for Chrome.
