Resources and Guides

This is the place to start for Developers and User Interface Designers to provide a consistent look and feel across all EUAA applications.

Working with a design system

This design system unifies the visual style and interaction behaviour of the 30+ different applications of the EUAA. By providing pre-built components and basic layouts in the official EUAA colours, Developers and Designers can spend less time rebuilding and styling basic components and focus more on the specific requirements of the application.
