Design system

The subtle art of sharpening the visual and functional consistency of your interfaces.

Benefit from a reference system

Guaranteeing you a coherent digital expression

Nowadays, the digital presence of brands has become their main communication tool. The image is present on the website, but also on numerous applications and social networks. Mastering your identity is a real challenge. It is essential to build a coherent ecosystem in order to optimise the user and customer experience.

The main objective of a Design System is to make your users' lives easier by optimising their experiences on your interfaces so that the trust they place in your organisation is complete!

Access a library of centralised and ready-to-use components

A Design System is a reference library that includes the graphic charter and the ergonomic charter. Whether it's your logo in its various variations, the components of your visual charter or all the functional elements of your applications, they are described and available to the specialists who contribute to your digital presence.

Benefit from user experience (UX) recommendations

A Design System is also an opportunity to position yourself in terms of the experience you wish to offer your users. Good practices in terms of ergonomics, accessibility standards and editorial tone represent your values and forge your reputation. Your visual charter also becomes functional... and unique.

Optimise the work process of your teams

A Design System allows your teams to share a common vision of your goals. It allows them to focus on what's important and, in doing so, find the best solutions to align those goals with your users' needs.

If your teams can start each new project with graphic assets ready to be integrated, the time and development savings will optimise time and costs. Briefings, workflows and approvals are streamlined. As a result, your products will be available more quickly.
