The Design System will provide benefits for these groups:

By having a library of components available to use during design the Design System:

• Saves time
  • Avoid reinventing the wheel (or popup menu)
  • UI design is faster / more efficient
• Concentrates innovation where it is needed
• By making production of UI prototypes quicker, it allows designers to focus more on solving customer/user problems

Documentation for components makes developing components easier by providing a detailed specification

By providing a library of implemented components developers can

• Concentrate on delivering features, not components
• Save time by reusing components, shared between products
• Avoid writing as much HTML/CSS which developers are typically less skilled at

NB: Implementations do not yet exist, but please do consider contributing

By saving designers and developers time

• Deliver value faster

By having standardised components, for both design and development

• Deliver higher quality UI

• Improved UI consistency, makes additional products easier to learn

• Greater consistency of design by using the same common solutions
• Choose alternative components with guidance in the design system documentation
• Accessibility baked in, reduces legal exposure
• UI best practice baked in
