Design Systems
Reusable components and tokens so the brand holds together as you add pages and grow.
Tokens (color, spacing, type) feed shared components, which assemble into pages. Change a token once and it propagates everywhere it's used, so the brand stays consistent without redoing every page by hand as the site grows.
Common questions
What is a design system, in plain terms?
A small kit of reusable parts (colours, spacing, type sizes, buttons, cards) that every page is assembled from. Change a part once and every page using it updates, so the site stays consistent as it grows.
Does a small site really need one?
A five-page site doesn't need a formal one, but it still benefits from being built from consistent parts, which we do by default. A design system as a deliverable matters when a site will keep growing or several people will touch it.
What do I get at the end?
The components themselves, built into your site, plus a short reference showing what exists and how to use it, so page twenty looks like it belongs with page one.
