    What is the U.S. Web Design System?

    September 23, 2024September 23, 2024

    The U.S. Web Design System (USWDS) was created to help Federal agencies build websites that are fast, accessible, and easy to use. It offers a toolkit of code and resources to create websites that work well on mobile devices and follow accessibility guidelines. More than 25 Federal agencies, including NASA, the IRS, and the Department of Veterans Affairs, use this system to provide important information to the public.

    The WordPress Admin Dashboard User Experience

    September 18, 2024September 29, 2024

    The WordPress admin dashboard is where users manage a websiteโ€™s content. Itโ€™s important to make sure this dashboard is easy for content creators, managers, and publishers to use. If itโ€™s confusing or cluttered, they might not want to use it, and the site could suffer as a result.

    One way to improve the dashboard is by creating templates for different types of content, so users have a clear starting point. Simplifying the main dashboard landing page by showing only the most frequently used options can also help. Additionally, organizing the sidebar and limiting unnecessary choices or actions for different user levels makes the process smoother.

    Behind NASAโ€™s Web Evolution: WordPress, Block Editing, and the Solar Eclipse Traffic Surge

    September 17, 2024September 16, 2024

    Lone Rock Pointโ€™s Stacy Holtz and Gary Kovar were guests on the 100th episode of the Gutenberg Changelog podcast, where they discussed NASAโ€™s migration from Drupal 7 to WordPress and the block editor. Moving NASAโ€™s content was a huge task, especially since some parts didnโ€™t fit with the new design system. Andrew Norcross led the migration, which involved reorganizing content and dealing with outdated or duplicate information.

    Atomic Design Systems and WordPress

    September 12, 2024November 9, 2024

    Atomic design is a bottom-up methodology that breaks down web design into smaller elements. The smallest components are โ€œatoms,โ€ which form โ€œmoleculesโ€ when combined, and these molecules come together to create โ€œorganismsโ€ that represent templates or pages. This approach simplifies complex designs into manageable parts while maintaining a cohesive structure.

    In WordPress, the Gutenberg Block Editor aligns with atomic design by using blocksโ€”such as paragraphs or imagesโ€”that serve as atoms or molecules, creating flexible, reusable components for building dynamic and user-friendly websites.

    The Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) helps big companies manage large projects by using Agile methods. It gives clear rules about roles, responsibilities, and how to plan and organize work. SAFe was designed to spread Agile and lean ideas across the whole organization, making it easier for teams to work together on big projects. SAFe works well for large businesses and has been used by groups like NASA. Some important values in SAFe are alignment, quality, transparency, and program execution.
