About Forge
Forge is Jack Henry’s design system that provides the building blocks to design and implement consistent, accessible, and beautiful experiences for our customers.
Overview
Forge is built by the Forge design system team. Using Forge ensures our different product lines share a common design language. We work closely with these teams to collect feedback that informs our work.
Benefits of using Forge
- Increase velocity in the design and development of new products and features
- Reduce silos between teams that adopt Forge
- Spend less time on redundant work such as rebuilding components and patterns and more time spent on solving complex problems
- Meet or exceed current WCAG accessibility guidelines out of the box
Accessibility
We’ve baked in accessibility support around every corner and aligned with W3C’s WCAG standards. Each component is thoughtfully crafted to take into account the needs of all users. We’ve solved common accessibility issues for you so that you can be confident our components work everywhere and for everyone.
Component-specific accessibility considerations can be found via the code documentation link on each component page.
The architecture
- Foundations: colors, typography, icons, content
- Components: design, development, tokens, standards
- Documentation: education, processes, contribution, content standards
