The value of design systems

Ensure digital experiences remain consistent across platforms and services

A well-crafted design system empowers your teams to focus on launching new websites and digital services while ensuring brand consistency.

Our design system services

Digital style guides

We create digital style guides that transform offline brand guidelines into clear and accessible design rules for the web. Our guides define how typography, colour, spacing, patterns  and components behave across breakpoints and devices – aligned with WCAG accessibility standards where required.

Acting as a single source of truth, our digital style guides ensure consistency, usability and brand integrity across your entire web estate.

Component and pattern libraries

We develop reusable, production-ready component libraries built for performance, accessibility and long-term flexibility. Our modular approach enables seamless integration with existing digital experience platforms whilst also supporting standalone variants for embedding into legacy or third-party systems.

Our libraries include documentation and usage guidance – to ensure confident adoption and consistent implementation by your product and development teams.

Design system governance and maintenance

We help you establish sustainable governance models to keep your design system effective and future-ready.

From contribution workflows to version control and documentation updates, we help teams define the processes that support long-term adoption and scalability – ensuring your system remains a trusted source of truth as your digital estate grows.

It is important for our technology partners to be committed to user-centric practices (user research, prototyping, usability testing) and agile methodology. The DotCentric UX team got to grips with a complex set of needs and drivers and in a short period, they generated the user insight, prototypes and design assets we needed to progress to build.
