Page templates

Page templates are pre-built pages that combine GC Design System components for common presentations. They’re fully responsive for multi-device use. Their page structures support a predictable, recognizable, and accessible user experience.

Page templates can be a starting point for you to use GC Design System to prototype or code. Already familiar? They’ll help you create pages faster and then add components to meet user needs.

Unless specified, use them for Canada.ca pages as well as other GC websites.
