Description

What should change?

The tech docs site is a it outdated, and it would be useful to have different layouts available for different needs

User need

We want to use this to test the assumption

Proposed solution

From a concerned and curious Tech Writer:

I've never used the prototype kit. Always seemed a bit over complicated. Can it turn the front page of the tech doc template to look like the front page of the gov wifi document site?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing tech docs template and the linked GOV.UK WiFi document site to understand the requested front-page style. Clarify which different layouts should be prototyped and how the assumption will be tested; done means the agreed layouts are available for evaluation.
