New Lighthouse Release!

Posted on May 14, 2026

An update on our continuously evolving, open-source Lighthouse design system:
Our developers have just announced the release of Lighthouse v1.2!

This is an update with some exciting new features.

New Components

Archive Banner

The ability to designate material as “archived” is useful when considering accessibility remediation. This designation preserves content in its current form without being remediated, provided it meets certain, specific criteria.

Lighthouse now offers an archive banner, designed to be displayed at the top of any page that will no longer be updated or edited, but remains on your website for reference.

This easy-to-add banner indicates a page containing content that is outdated, is no longer being updated, and may not be fully accessible.

Supplemental text offers space for an email contact to address any user questions or concerns, which is also a requirement of archiving.

Accessibility Concierge


The Accessibility Concierge is a feature that will now appear within the Contact Page template.

This component provides a consistent place to direct users to common accessibility resources.

It Includes a place to include your agency’s required accessibility contact email or inquiry form, along with additional pre-built links that offer easy ways to report accessibility issues to the state.

This information is contained within a blue shaded card with a bell-ringing icon for easy identification and visual appeal.
