At the heart of innovation lies collaboration, and we’d like to invite you to play a pivotal role in helping us shape the future of the NSW Design System.
As developers and designers, you can shape and influence the way digital experiences are crafted across the NSW Government's online platforms. Your contributions can make a meaningful impact on the usability, accessibility, and overall aesthetic of digital services.
We believe in the power of diverse perspectives and ideas, and that's where you come in!
Your contribution matters
The NSW Design System is more than lines of code; it's a community-driven initiative, and we're eager to see your well-intentioned contributions. Whether you're a seasoned developer or a design aficionado, your unique insights can help elevate the user experience across the NSW Government websites.
What we're looking for
Useful and Versatile Components: We want components that address common user needs across various services or products. Think beyond a single project; envision how your creation can seamlessly fit into different contexts and layouts.
Embrace Uniqueness: Innovation thrives on uniqueness. Ensure your components don't duplicate existing elements unless it's an intentional replacement. Let's keep the system lean, efficient, and exciting.
Distinctly NSW Vibes: Picture this – every user feels they're navigating a NSW Government website. Align your contributions with the distinctly NSW look and feel. Dive into the NSW Design System Figma UI kit for a visual guide.
User-Tested Awesomeness: Before your creation becomes a system star, let's ensure it's been tested and approved by the real heroes – the users! Accessibility is key, so let's make sure everyone, regardless of ability, can navigate effortlessly.
Code with Care: We love code that's not just for machines but for humans too. Follow our coding style, maintain readability, and, of course, remove those debugging artifacts. It's not just about merging in; it's about crafting a code symphony.
