The Benefits of a Design System
Design systems create a visual language that unifies teams and standards from design through to development. It's not only meant to be a collection of reusable components for web sites or apps, but it communicates a cohesive and shared knowledge that allows many teams to collaborate, build and communicate more easily.
Our Approach to Building a Design System
Decide the best approach
We gather information about the current ecosystem and design standards to help determine where and how to start implementing a design system.
Organizing design and development standards
We take our research and determine where the most impact can be made with a design system by identifying shared experiences, patterns, components, branding guidelines, and other areas that are should be included in your design system.
Architect communication plans
We build an easily shareable and update-able experience that which integrates into your current workflows and allows teams and individuals to contribute and collaborate on current and future design standards.

Web Accessibility

Hounder helps to build a visual digital design system that is accessible by all users and provides audits to your current designs to account for any shortcomings with text legibility, color contrast, and more.
Patterns and Components
Every design is made up of visual patterns that can be broken down into components for an individual use case that is more quickly updated. We go through your current designs to build a visual pattern library with components and elements that allow for better maintainability that scales.
