Implement designs using USWDS and coordinate with DOL Digital Transformation/SORT stakeholders; ensure consistency with DOL.gov patterns and the 21st Century IDEA. Validate designs across current and previous major browsers, desktop/tablet/mobile form factors, keyboard-only interaction, screen readers, and responsive breakpoints.
