Principles

Our working principles are based largely on those of 18F, GSA's technology and design consultancy for the U.S. Government.

User-centered design and development

Our team follows user-centered design and development practices as best we can.

Working in the open

We work in the open, with open-source tools. We believe this approach is a good fit for government. All of our site changes and issues are captured here in our GitHub repository.

Our duty is to everyone

We work for the people of the United States, and thus believe our product and work processes must be accessible and inclusive to everyone. As a result, accessibility is among our core success metrics.
