One thing to check out is the GSA-maintained [Web Design Standards](https://standards.usa.gov/), which enhance user experiences on government sites by offering a consistent, and trusted, look and feel. The Standards offer open-source, quick-to-download code and assets that comply with Section 508 guidance, support mobile first practices, and adhere to current OMB guidance. The Standards are currently operating on hundreds of government sites, with a combined monthly audience of more than 26 million users! If you have requests for features or find bugs, please submit them to the [Standards GitHub repo](https://github.com/18F/web-design-standards), and join the conversation and community on our public [Slack channel](https://chat.18f.gov/).

MD013 - Line length

Tags: line_length

Aliases: line-length Parameters: linelength, codeblocks, tables (number; default 80, boolean; default true)

This rule is triggered when there are lines that are longer than the configured line length (default: 80 characters). To fix this, split the line up into multiple lines.

This rule has an exception where there is no whitespace beyond the configured line length. This allows you to still include items such as long URLs without being forced to break them in the middle.

You also have the option to exclude this rule for code blocks and tables. To do this, set the code_blocks and/or tables parameters to false.

Code blocks are included in this rule by default since it is often a requirement for document readability, and tentatively compatible with code rules. Still, some languages do not lend themselves to short lines.

MD032 - Lists should be surrounded by blank lines

Tags: bullet, ul, ol, blank_lines

Aliases: blanks-around-lists

This rule is triggered when lists (of any kind) are either not preceded or not followed by a blank line:

Some text
* Some
* List

1. Some
2. List
Some text

To fix this, ensure that all lists have a blank line both before and after (except where the block is at the beginning or end of the document):

Some text

* Some
* List

1. Some
2. List

Some text

Rationale: Aside from aesthetic reasons, some parsers, including kramdown, will not parse lists that don't have blank lines before and after them.

Note: List items without hanging indents are a violation of this rule; list items with hanging indents are okay:

* This is
not okay

* This is
  okay

As we mature our Digital Service and modern development practices, we will continue to add more content here with instructions on how to carry-out UX design in the organization.  No doubt a much needed service to address end user needs and the representations of such needs with front-end development.

UX Designers focus on meeting with the end users and trying to understand the world through the user's eyes as they wish to interact with a system.  The CTO's office has largely been using UX Design to create [personas](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persona_(user_experience)) and [wireframes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Website_wireframe) although there are many more ways to get to end user needs (see [18F's design methods](https://methods.18f.gov/)).

"User experience design most frequently defines a sequence of interactions between a user (individual person) and a system, virtual or physical, designed to meet or support user needs and goals, primarily, while also satisfying systems requirements and organizational objectives ([Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_experience_design))."
