SDWorx Design System

The benefits of a Design System

Some of the benefits of a design system

• Consistency and cohesion: Reusing interface elements ensures our products look and feel consistent.
• Faster workflow: Organizing our components is like sorting a pile of LEGO: Once you know where all the pieces are and how they can be used, it’s much easier to build what you need.
• Collaboration: A Design System gives different team members a common platform to build products together.
• Shared vocabulary: When our team speaks a common language, instead of each discipline having their own name for a component, it’s much easier to collaborate with one another.
• Helpful documentation: We can use our Design System to teach one another about what our buttons look like, or what styles of typography we use and why.
• Foundation to expand and improve on: The Design System is a “living and breathing” entity. It serves as a base that we can adapt or add to as our needs change.
