Joe LanmanWhat's so important about GOV.UK Forms is how thoughtfully they're going about it. So for example the editor UI is simple and accessible. And it's opinionated - it helps users who don't have a lot of experience with tech or design produce good quality forms.<a href="https://gds.blog.gov.uk/2023/11/27/get-involved-with-the-launch-of-early-access-to-gov-uk-forms/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://gds.blog.gov.uk/2023/11/27/get-involved-with-the-launch-of-early-access-to-gov-uk-forms/</a><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/govDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#govDesign</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/govuk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#govuk</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/govukForms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#govukForms</a>

Joe LanmanOne thing per page is one of the most powerful design patterns we have. It makes it so much easier for people to understand a page, to resolve any errors and only see the pages and questions that are relevant to them. If research says it's better to combine some questions, do that, but it's a great start point.<a href="https://www.gov.uk/service-manual/design/form-structure#start-with-one-thing-per-page" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/service-manual/design/form-structure#start-with-one-thing-per-page</a><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/govDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#govDesign</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/design" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#design</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/ux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ux</a>

Joe LanmanSmall but important update to the GOV.UK Design System guidance:> Accept month names written out in full or abbreviated form (for example, ‘january’ or ‘jan’) as some users may enter months in this way.This came from quant data on Apply for teacher training service, showing that many people did this.It also follows our error validation guidance: "accept information in different formats, as long as it’s not ambiguous"Good work <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/@frankieroberto" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@frankieroberto</a> !<a href="https://design-system.service.gov.uk/components/date-input/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://design-system.service.gov.uk/components/date-input/</a><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/govDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#govDesign</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/ux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ux</a>
