-### Design System
-
-We are moving towards using a [custom theme](https://codeforamerica.github.io/uswds/dist/) of
-the [US Web Design System (USWDS)](https://designsystem.digital.gov/). Enabling this
-property will set template resolution to use USWDS styling in place of our default design system. The USWDS
-template location will become the default for your application, pulling USWDS styles, templates and
-fragments
-in place of our default ones. The USWDS file path will be `/resources/cfa-uswds-templates/`. You can
-override templates and fragments in this path by placing a file with the same name and path in your
-application. For example, placing a file at `/resources/cfa-uswds-templates/fragments/example.html`
-would override the fragment with the same name in the USWDS fragments folder.
-
-You can view all the USWDS templates and fragments in
-the [USWDS templates folder](https://github.com/codeforamerica/form-flow/tree/main/src/main/resources/cfa-uswds-templates).
-
-When using `cfa-uswds`, we also enable several Gradle tasks that compile Sass and Javascript in the
-starter application. These tasks will automatically run when building/starting the application
-locally. You can learn more about the [Gradle tasks in the section below](#gradle-tasks).
