The challenge of digital coherence at scale

For projects that grow and evolve every day

Organisations that manage multiple portals, microsites and development teams face a recurring problem: maintaining a coherent image and accessibility compliance across all of them.

New projects often start from scratch, leading to arbitrary interpretation of the brand and inconsistent application of accessibility criteria.

A well-built design system solves this at its root: it establishes the rules once and allows any team to build autonomously without deviating.

Design system documentation with accessibility guidelines

A design system that works for you

We don't deliver a PDF of standards that nobody consults. We build a living, documented design system, ready for use with your team and AI tools, allowing your organization to scale without losing control.

Tokens and foundations

The foundation that guarantees consistency

Colors, typography, spacing, elevations, and breakpoints defined as reusable variables. Any change in the brand automatically propagates to all components and products.

Component library

Build fast, build well

Tested, documented, and accessible components by default. From buttons and forms to complex patterns like navigation, data tables, or authentication flows. Ready to use in any project.

Documentation and guides

Knowledge that isn't lost

Each component includes: use cases, variants, states, responsive behavior, applicable WCAG accessibility criteria, and implementation examples. Your team and providers have a single source of truth.

Governance and maintenance

A system that evolves with you

We define who can propose changes, how they are approved, how they are versioned, and how they are communicated. The design system is not a project that ends: it is an infrastructure that grows with your organization.

How we build it

A proven methodology, no surprises

5 phases with concrete deliverables and validation points between each one. Nothing advances without your approval. We work elbow to elbow with your internal team, and when the project ends, the system is yours, documented, transferred, and ready to run autonomously.

01

Audit and discovery

We analyze your current digital ecosystem: existing portals, brand guidelines, implied technical debt, and specific needs. We map what you have, what you lack, and what to prioritize.

Entregables → Current state report, existing component inventory, stakeholder map, prioritized backlog.

02

Foundations and tokens

We define the system foundation: color palette (with validated contrast ratios), typographic scale, spacing system, grid, breakpoints, and semantic variables. Everything documented and ready to implement.

Entregables → Design tokens in JSON/CSS/Figma format, foundations documentation, application guide.

03

Core components

We design and implement the library of essential components: typography, buttons, links, forms, cards, navigation, tables, alerts, modals. Each with its variants, states, and accessibility criteria.

Entregables → Figma library, functional HTML/CSS components or agreed framework, component-by-component documentation.

04

Patterns and templates

We combine components into complete page patterns: home, listings, detail, search, complex forms, private areas. We solve real use cases for your organization.

Entregables → Page templates, documented UX patterns, interaction flows.

05

Governance and transfer

We establish the governance model: roles, proposal and approval flows, versioning, changelog. We train your team and leave the system ready to function autonomously.

Entregables → Governance guide, training sessions, onboarding documentation for internal providers.

Choose your starting point

Every design system is different. The scope depends on the number of components needed, the complexity of your ecosystem, implementation technologies, and the level of documentation required.

Foundational Design System

For organizations starting from scratch or needing to establish solid foundations.

  1. 01 Tokens + 15-20 core components + basic documentation + governance
  2. 02 3-6 weeks
  3. 03 Ideal to start with a solid foundation and scale later

Complete Design System

For complex ecosystems with multiple portals and teams.

  1. 01 Tokens + 30-40 components + page patterns + complete documentation + training + advanced governance
  2. 02 6-12 weeks
  3. 03 Includes training for internal and external teams

Maintenance and Evolution

Ongoing support to keep the system alive.

  1. 01 New components, updates, team support
  2. 02 Monthly retainer adapted to your real needs
  3. 03 No duration commitment, for as long as you need
