Ship 34% Faster With a Design System Your Entire Team Actually Uses
InVision research shows teams with design systems ship products 34% faster. Without one, every new feature starts from scratch, every designer reinvents components, and every product looks slightly different.
faster product delivery for teams using design systems -- because designers and developers reuse validated components instead of rebuilding UI elements from scratch for every feature

Design System Creation
What's Included
Everything you get with our Design System Creation
Component Library
Reusable UI components designed in Figma with matching code implementations: buttons, forms, navigation, data display, feedback elements, and layout primitives -- each with variants for every use case, responsive breakpoint, and interaction state
Design Token Architecture
A token system that controls color, typography, spacing, elevation, and motion from a single source of truth -- enabling theme changes, brand updates, and dark mode without touching individual components
Interaction and Accessibility Patterns
Documented interaction patterns for common workflows: form validation, error handling, loading states, empty states, and data entry -- each meeting WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility requirements with keyboard navigation and screen reader support
Living Documentation
A documentation site that serves as the single reference for your design system: component usage guidelines, code examples, do/don't patterns, and design rationale -- maintained alongside the system so documentation stays current
Governance and Contribution Model
A defined process for proposing new components, modifying existing ones, and deprecating outdated patterns -- ensuring the system evolves with your products without fragmenting into team-specific forks
Our Design System Creation Process
Interface Inventory and Audit
We catalog every UI element across your products: buttons, inputs, cards, navigation, modals, tables -- capturing every variant, inconsistency, and duplication. This inventory shows the full scope of component redundancy and becomes the foundation for the system's component roadmap.
Token Architecture and Foundation
We design the token system that underpins the entire design system: color scales, type ramps, spacing scales, elevation levels, and motion curves. Tokens are structured for theming capability, ensuring the system can support brand variations, dark mode, and white-labeling without component modifications.
Component Design and Development
We design and build components in priority order based on usage frequency and redundancy impact. Each component includes all variants, states, responsive behavior, and accessibility requirements. Figma components and coded implementations are built in parallel to ensure design-development alignment.
Documentation and Guidelines
We create living documentation for every component: when to use it, when not to use it, required properties, accessibility notes, and code examples. Documentation is structured for both designers (Figma usage) and developers (implementation reference) and built to update alongside the system.
Adoption Strategy and Team Training
We develop an adoption plan that rolls the system into products incrementally rather than requiring a full rebuild. Teams are trained on system usage, contribution processes, and governance. We identify design system champions within each product team to maintain adoption momentum.
Governance Setup and Handoff
We establish the contribution model, review process, and versioning strategy that keeps the system healthy after handoff. This includes criteria for adding new components, a process for proposing modifications, and a deprecation path for outdated patterns.
Key Benefits
Eliminate redundant design and development work across teams
Without a design system, each product team builds its own version of common components. A 10-team organization might build 10 different button sets, 10 modal implementations, and 10 form validation patterns. A shared component library means each element is designed once, built once, tested once, and reused everywhere -- freeing teams to focus on unique feature work.
Maintain visual and functional consistency as you scale
When three designers work on one product, minor inconsistencies are manageable. When thirty designers work on twelve products, inconsistency becomes a brand and usability problem. Design tokens and shared components enforce consistency automatically -- every product uses the same colors, typography, spacing, and interaction patterns without manual review.
Onboard new designers and developers in days instead of weeks
New team members spend their first weeks learning how the product looks and works. A design system with living documentation compresses this: new designers start with a component library that shows exactly how things are built, and new developers start with coded components that enforce the patterns. Productive contribution starts faster.
Make accessibility the default, not an afterthought
When each team builds its own components, accessibility compliance varies by team knowledge and priority. A design system with built-in WCAG 2.1 AA compliance means every team that uses the system ships accessible features by default. Accessibility shifts from a per-feature audit finding to an infrastructure guarantee.

UX Investment Returns
Every $1 invested in UX returns $100 -- design systems multiply this return by applying consistent, researched UX patterns across every product instead of making ad-hoc design decisions on each feature

Design-Driven Revenue Impact
Design-driven companies generate 32% more revenue than peers -- design systems enable design-driven development at scale by making high-quality, consistent UI the path of least resistance for every team
