Globalbit is an Israeli custom software development company. This page is a case study about Israeli Government (Government). Globalbit defined how Israel's government communicates with its citizens online by creating a unified design system for government digital services. Key facts: Unified design system for Israeli government digital services, standardized UX patterns across ministries, accessibility-first approach.
We Defined How Israel's Government Talks to Its Citizens Online

Building the Standard for Government Websites
Globalbit defined the standards and built the Israeli Government Design System. Hundreds of components across React, Angular, pure JavaScript, and HTML/CSS. Accessible, RTL-native, and used by 5,000+ developers to build consistent public services for millions of citizens. Released as open source.
Every Government Website Was a Different Country
Israel's government operates hundreds of websites and digital services. Tax filings, healthcare portals, municipal services, national security. But there was no shared design language. Every agency built its own interface with its own components and its own approach to accessibility. The result: a fragmented digital experience where millions of citizens had to re-learn how government works at every touchpoint.
- -Hundreds of Government Websites, Zero Consistency — Every ministry, agency, and local authority built its own website independently. Different navigation, different forms, different visual language. Citizens had to re-learn how government works every time they switched departments.
- -Citizens With Disabilities Locked Out — Without centralized accessibility standards, most government websites failed basic compliance. Citizens with visual, motor, or cognitive disabilities were routinely excluded from essential public services.
- -Thousands of Developers Solving the Same Problems — Dozens of agencies, thousands of developers, all building the same buttons, forms, and layouts from scratch. Massive duplication of effort. Budgets burned on infrastructure instead of citizen-facing features.
- -No Component Library Built for Hebrew — Hebrew is right-to-left. Most available component libraries are LTR-first. Government developers constantly fought layout mirroring, bidirectional text, and broken RTL rendering. There was no Hebrew-first UI toolkit.
"The mandate was clear: create a single design system that every agency adopts. It must guarantee accessibility, support Hebrew RTL natively, and scale to thousands of developers building hundreds of services."
Building the Digital Standard for Israel’s Public Sector
Standards, Code, and Documentation Across Four Frameworks
We defined the standards, built hundreds of components in React, Angular, pure JS, and HTML/CSS, created the themes and templates, and wrote the documentation. Everything government developers need, in the stack they already use.
From Research to National Rollout in 4 Phases
Struggling with UI consistency across teams?
We built a national design system with hundreds of components across four frameworks. We can solve yours.
Why the Israeli Government Chose Globalbit
A national design system demands governance, scalability, and developer-wide adoption across ministries. Globalbit brought the infrastructure thinking required to make it work at state level.
We Shipped What Most Tech Companies Can't Even Start
A national design system with hundreds of components across four frameworks, RTL-native, fully accessible, secured by design. Major tech companies struggle with single-framework design systems for internal use. We built one for an entire country.
