We want to achieve consistent user experiences across services created in Altinn. To achieve this, we ask you to use our guidelines in your app design. You are welcome to contribute to the further development of the guidelines.

  • Consistency across services

    To simplify usage and avoid confusion, interaction patterns should be shared across services.

  • Content in the form

    Explain what is needed to fill the form correctly to the user and divide the content into multiple steps.

  • Design principles

    When developing or improving existing products we follow a set of principles to ensure usability and accessibility for all. We recommend following these principles when developing new services.

  • Entering the form

    To make the user experience as best as possible you should think about how you link between your agency and the Altinn-app.

  • UI-components

    The different components have been made to fit together as a larger whole. This makes it important to follow the guidelines for how they should be used to achieve a consistent and recognizable appearance. UI components that are currently included in Altinn's library are found below.

  • Language

    Guidelines should ensure common language and understandability across services in Altinn.

  • Accessibility

    Good accessibility helps people with disabilities access our services in a meaningful way. By using Altinn 3 large parts of your service is handled by us, but you still have to remember some things yourself.
