Design recommendations
We’ve created designs to help you incorporate GOV.UK One Login into your service.
The aim is to provide a consistent experience for users across all services that use GOV.UK One Login, and reduce duplication of effort by services.
However, you’ll need to tailor them to your service. You do not have to use them at all if research shows something else works better for you.
How we created our recommendations
The designs all use existing components from the GOV.UK Design System.
As this is a new type of journey, we’ve combined those components in new ways. We’ll be sharing our findings with the GOV.UK Design System team.
The designs have all been tested with users. Contact us if you’d like more details on the research.
