GEL Foundations

A consistent foundation for which the BBC online can be built upon (work in progress).

What is this?

This is a flexible code implementation of the GEL foundational guidelines (Typography, Grid & Iconography).

These implementations can be used as a starting point for any BBC project, providing code that adheres to the GEL Guidelines.

To understand more about the background and context of our GEL Foundations, have a read of the blog post: Creating a foundation for everyone
