What benefits does Design System bring to our clients and product teams?
What is this design system?
The answer might be complicated, but it's basically a coherent framework of rules that are applied to a single building block in a digital environment. It is a digital lego that is compatible and you can build various web/mobile applications from it, for example, or apply it to all visual digital materials for marketing purposes.
In summary, a design system is a strategic tool in the design and development of digital products, offering advantages such as efficiency, consistency, easier collaboration, scalability, faster iterations, quality assurance and a stronger brand identity.
Let's look at it a little more in detail, especially the benefits of System Design.
Here are a few key benefits of “Design Dystema” for your product team:
- Consistency and consistency: The design system ensures that all elements of the digital product, such as buttons, typography and color scheme, are consistent. This consistency enhances the user experience, makes it more intuitive and fluid.
- Effectiveness in development: Design systems simplify the development process. Designers and developers can reuse components and patterns, reducing the time and effort required to create or modify digital products.
- Easier collaboration: Design systems serve as a common language between different teams, such as design, development, and product management. This facilitates clearer communication and smoother collaboration.
- Scalability: As a business or product grows, a design system can help handle the complexity that comes with expansion. It makes it easy to add new features or expand to new platforms while maintaining a unified brand identity.
- Faster iterations: Using a design system, teams can iterate faster because they have existing components available for prototyping and testing new ideas. This agility allows for multiple iterations and a design approach oriented to user needs.
- Quality Assurance: The design system includes guidelines and best practices to help maintain high quality in design and code. It serves as a reference point for quality controls.
- Brand identity and recognizability: A well-implemented design system helps strengthen brand identity through consistent user experiences across multiple platforms and touchpoints.
Let's also look at the benefits it brings in terms of performance and finances.
- Reducing development costs: By using a design system, teams can make more efficient use of existing components and patterns, reducing the amount of work required to create new elements. This can lead to a reduction in the overall cost of development.
- Acceleration of time to market: By reusing components and standardized processes, development can be faster, allowing faster product launch. A quicker launch can mean a faster return on investment.
- Savings on maintenance and updates: If the product is built on a unified design system, maintenance and updates can be more efficient and less costly as changes can be easily implemented across all related products.
- Increase team productivity: Design systems allow teams to work more efficiently with pre-defined components and patterns, reducing time spent on routine or repetitive tasks. This increases productivity and reduces labor costs.
- Better ROI from the user experience: A quality user interface and experience can attract and retain more users, which can lead to higher revenues. Consistent and intuitive design improves user satisfaction and increases the likelihood of repeated use of the product.
- Lower risk of errors: A standardized design system reduces the risk of design and code errors, which can lead to fewer expensive fixes after the product launches.
- Improving competitiveness: Consistent and professional-looking products can improve brand perception in the market, which can attract more customers and increase market share.
Overall, the use of a design system in product development is financially beneficial because it helps reduce costs, increase efficiency, improve quality and increase competitiveness in the market.
And that is what we are primarily concerned about. We are good at it and it solves a lot of problems for our customers.
