GOV.UK Prototype Kit

Go to the GOV.UK Prototype Kit site to get the latest version and read the documentation.

About the Prototype Kit

The Prototype Kit provides a simple way to make interactive prototypes that look like pages on GOV.UK. These prototypes can be used to show ideas to people you work with, and to do user research.

Read the project principles.

Make sure prototypes are password-protected

If you publish your prototypes online, they must be protected by a password. This is to prevent members of the public finding prototypes and thinking they are real services.

You must protect user privacy at all times, even when using prototypes. Prototypes made with the kit look like GOV.UK, but do not have the same security provisions. Always make sure you are handling user data appropriately.

Installation instructions

Node version requirements

We always recommend you use the current long term support (LTS) version of Node.js.

The Prototype Kit always supports at least the current and previous LTS releases.

Support

The GOV.UK Prototype Kit is currently maintained by the GOV.UK Design System team. There is only minimal support in place.

If you’ve got a question, idea or suggestion, share with the community of users on the #govuk-prototype-kit channel on cross-government Slack.

If you’ve got an idea or suggestion, you can:

The govuk-prototype-kit repository is public and we welcome contributions from anyone.
