EMBL-EBI Style Lab

This is a collaborative effort. The EMBL-EBI Style Lab is a place to communicate how we use visual identity, code and language to make better and more accessible services -- it exists because of pan-EMBL-EBI collaboration.

There's not much to see on this page, check out the site at www.ebi.ac.uk/style-lab/

What is this, exactly?

The EMBL-EBI Style Lab is a collaborative space that also shares the latest guidance on how and what should be used to build visually and textually compliant EMBL-EBI websites, documents, and texts. It's partly about reinforcing our shared identity, but it's mostly about leveraging the best tools to build things faster and with fewer bugs, errors, and user experience issues.
