FCC Design Standards were originally created to maintain a consistent user experience across maps, visualizations, and other applications. The Design Standards cover foundational styles, individual components, and complex patterns. They define how interactions behave, what they look like, and how they could be implemented.

The design theme is built with the following libraries:
- Bootstrap 3.3.5
- Font Awesome
- jQuery
- Mapbox
- Leaflet
Please refer to the Bootstrap framework documentation for more information on browser support. At a minimum, the design standards support the latest versions of the following browsers.
- Chrome
- Firefox
- Internet Explorer
When implementing any of the user interface components, please ensure that they meet Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act accessibility requirements.
These standards were derived from the USPTO UI Design Library along with guidance from the U.S. Web Design Standards and CFPB Design Manual in order to support best-practices for design across the U.S. Government. We hope the FCC Design Standards can serve as a foundation for discussing and practicing human-centered design in government.
