Page template

Use this template to keep your pages consistent with the rest of GOV.UK.

This page template combines the boilerplate markup and components needed for a basic GOV.UK page. It includes:

In the examples provided, we show both HTML and Nunjucks.

You can use the HTML examples if you are not able to use Nunjucks. If you use HTML you’ll need to update it manually when new versions are released.

If you’re using Nunjucks you can get this page template by installing GOV.UK Frontend.
You’ll get updates to the page template when we update GOV.UK Frontend.

Default

This example shows the minimum required for a GOV.UK page.

Changing template content

If you’re using Nunjucks, you can change the template’s content using options.

How you set an option depends on whether it’s a ‘variable’ option or a ‘block’ option.

To set a ‘variable’ option, use set to pass in a single value or string. For example, to add a class to the <body> element using the bodyClasses option:

{% set bodyClasses = "EXAMPLE-CLASS" %}

By default, the template contains a Skip link component, Header component and Footer component, all of which require ‘blocks’ to change.

To set a ‘block’ option, use block to pass in a multiline value or HTML markup. For example, to add a block of HTML before the closing </body> element in the page template using the bodyEnd option:

{% block bodyEnd %}
  <div>
     <p>Example text</p>
  </div>
{% endblock %}

To change the components that are included in the page template by default, set their equivalent blocks. For example:

{% block header %}
  {{ govukHeader ({
    homepageUrl: "/custom-url"
  }) }}
{% endblock %}

Update the <html> element

htmlClasses (Variable)

Add a class to the <html> element.

htmlLang (Variable)

Set the language of the whole document. If your <title> and <main> element are in a different language to the rest of the page, use htmlLang to set the language of the rest of the page.

Update the <head> element

assetPath (Variable)

Specify a path to the GOV.UK Frontend assets (icons, images, font files). If you’re using the refreshed GOV.UK brand, you may need to update this path to point to the updated assets.

assetUrl (Variable)

Set the domain for assets where an absolute URL is required, for example the Open Graph image.

head (Block)

Add additional items inside the <head> element.
For example: <meta name="description" content="My page description">

headIcons (Block)

Override the default icons used for GOV.UK branded pages.
For example: <link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">

opengraphImageUrl (Variable)

Set the URL for the Open Graph image meta tag. The URL must be absolute, including the protocol and domain name. If you’re using the refreshed GOV.UK brand, you may need to update this path to point to the updated assets.

pageTitle (Block)

Override the default page title (<title> element).

pageTitleLang (Variable)

Set the language of the <title> element if it’s different to htmlLang.

themeColor (Variable)

Set the toolbar colour on some devices.

Update the <body> element

bodyAttributes (Variable)

Add attributes to the <body> element. Add each attribute and its value in the bodyAttributes object.

bodyClasses (Variable)

Add a class to the <body> element.

bodyEnd (Block)

Add content just before the closing <body> element.

bodyStart (Block)

Add content after the opening <body> element.
For example: The Cookie banner component.

Update the page’s header

header (Block)

Override the default Header component.

Update the page’s container

containerClasses (Variable)

Add a class to the container. This is useful if you want to make the page wrapper a fixed width.

beforeContent (Block)

Add content that needs to appear outside <main> element.
For example: The Back link component, Breadcrumbs component,
Phase banner component.

Update the page’s main content

content (Block)

Add content that needs to appear centered in the <main> element.

main (Block)

Override the main section of the page, which by default wraps the <main> element, beforeContent block and content block.

mainClasses (Variable)

Add a class to the <main> element.

mainLang (Variable)

Set the language of the <main> element if it’s different to htmlLang

Override the default Footer component.

Other options

cspNonce (Variable)

Add a nonce attribute to the script for your Content Security Policy (CSP). Provide a nonce that hostile actors cannot guess, as otherwise they can easily find a way around your CSP. However, you should use this attribute only if you’re not able to include the hash for the inline scripts in your service’s CSP.

govukRebrand (Variable)

Enables rebranded styles. If you’ve overridden any blocks that are affected by this, you may have to make manual changes. See the v5.10.0 release notes for more information.

Override the default Skip link component.
