Pattern Decisions This Source Supports

Pattern Supported decision Required contract Claim note
Start page Choose a start page when one named service or transaction needs a focused entry point before the first question, form, booking, payment, or authenticated step. The primary start action moves users into the first service step and does not jump to unrelated marketing, category browsing, or account dashboards. NN/g homepage guidance supports the boundary between broad homepages and focused task start pages.
