Overview

The design system for white label CMS to enhance consistency and hand-off time to serve business pain point. This design system implement "Atomic design" methodology to provide flexibility to custom functionality and visualize base on client need.

We reduce 90% of time consuming for design and also enhance consistency for development.

Problem Statement

The current CMS design process is repetitive and inefficient, slowing down delivery and increasing costs. Inconsistencies in UI patterns also affect user experience. A scalable and consistent design approach is needed to support business growth and maintain design quality.

Design System Architecture

Our team decided to implement the Atomic Design methodology to build a scalable and consistent UI system. We applied the structure up to the template level excluding the page level, which we agreed was beyond our current needs. This approach allowed us to create reusable components that maintained visual consistency and improved development efficiency. It also enhanced collaboration between designers and developers throughout the design process.

Foundation Layer

Design Tokens

Design tokens are the smallest, reusable pieces of a design system used to store and apply design decisions such as colors, typography, spacing, shadows, and more. They act as a bridge between design and development, ensuring consistency and scalability across platforms and devices.

Component Library Structure

Atomic Components

Atoms are the most basic building blocks of the UI. These include elements like buttons, input fields, labels, icons, and colors. They cannot be broken down further and serve as the foundation for all other components.

Molecular Components

Molecules are simple groups of atoms working together as a unit. They combine atoms to form more functional UI elements.

Organism Components

Organisms are relatively complex UI components made up of molecules and/or atoms. They form distinct sections of an interface.

Template Components

Templates are page-level objects that place components (organisms, molecules, atoms) into a layout. They define the structure and hierarchy of content but use placeholder content rather than real data.

Impact & Results

After completion, the design system was tested by using it to create a mock-up for a client pitch. As a result, the design process was reduced from two hours to just five minutes. This proves that the design system effectively addresses pain points across both business and development.
