@joelanman I'm sure you are aware of the https://x-govuk.github.io/govuk-design-history/

From the current and X DfE designers? Like @fofr @paulrobertlloyd @frankieroberto and others.

I personally prefer the above specific design and not the template. But in general the template is extremely versatile and easy to add a CMS onto.

The DfE design Ops folks use Strapi, but I have seen Forestry.io and even open source versions like NetlifyCMS which ties well with the hosting.

In older attempts we used the GDS way and a lot principles like Tech Architecture https://dfe-digital.github.io/architecture/ and Devs still use variations of the Middleman app for documentation. Now, I am not certain how recent these are or if they're maintained.

Have I misunderstood your question here?

Apologies for tagging everyone in, but, if I am not wrong these are the people to help you.

@Nikolaos-Gkionis Given that this project is now in maintenance mode, I very much doubt a design history will be added.

@paulrobertlloyd 🤣 that’s what you get for reading issues on a Phone.
