One system for every type of block

We built one system for every type of block at once, from the functional sites, the legal ones among them, to the cultural ones. The design was accepted and is now being built. An emirate's public services lived across many separate sites, and finding the right one meant hunting.

Service sites and cultural sites run on shared components and one design system. It has to cover every type of block at once, from service pages to cultural ones.

Tight constraints, a very large set of sites. Sign-off happens at the top level, where the result and the local market both get weighed. We build the interfaces to WCAG accessibility standards.
