about canon

Overview of the project, our mission, and how to get involved.

Summary

Rackspace® Canon is designed to lower the barrier of entry for new UIs at Rackspace®.

Inspired by Twitter Bootstrap, Rackspace® Canon is a framework of HTML and CSS made by and for designers and developers at Rackspace.

The framework provides Layouts and UI Components which are combined to form our library of UX Patterns. These patterns have been designed and tested by Rackspace® Product Design and are currently in use by these Rackspace® web applications:

  • The Rackspace® Cloud control panel
  • The Rackspace® dedicated hosting control panel
  • The admin UI for managing transactional email services
  • The control panel for MongoDB instance management
