Improve header and footer components #31

Open trang-erskine opened 4 years ago

Goal

The header needs to be more flexible so that they can be used in more contexts. For example, the header should allow for just one nav link within the link ending up in a menu on mobiles. Ability to override the crown.

There's existing layout problems with the footer which needs fixing. e.g misalignment of columns on certain browsers and the way text wrap.

At the same time, we will also complete a number of breaking change work to remove deprecated things.

Value

We're had numerous support request for these improvements to the header and footer. This work will also allow certain GOV.UK brand items to be override, which, makes DS more customisable for non GOV.UK services. This also paves the way for future work like support multiple languages.
