Add GOV.UK Mainstream Guide template page #1258
Conversation
|
I think this is a good suggestion. I have helped a handful of people less confident with HTML and using template languages such as Nunjucks to do just this. The users I helped either wanted to prototype directly or visualise content written elsewhere. A documented jumping off point for this common page type would have saved them and I time and effort. |

Good idea, we often prototype the start page for our services so this would help. As @paulmsmith mentioned it's useful for those who are less confident in coding. |
|
I support this, we often need mainstream guide pages to build. Once you've got one it is easy to replicate, but when you start out, is very handy to have a template! |

Can we discuss a better approach for providing optional code please?

I'd like to explore what this would look like as an extension (one that may be included by default), I'll put together a code example of this now so we can discuss the pros and cons. |

happy to investigate, but I think it would make sense for all the gov.uk templates to be an extension rather than just one, maybe we can investigate moving all of them separately to this PR? |
