The following components are being developed to ensure a consistent approach across all Government of Canada Web sites in WET 4.0. Consistency across government websites will help users find and use our content. By using the same design patterns we build consistency from one Government site to another. Consistency improves site usability by reducing the need for users to learn how to navigate and use each new site; they learn on one site and apply the same learning to the next site they use.
