Crafting Modular System
/24
The main challenge was to build a flexible, component-based modular framework that required balancing consistency, flexibility, and accessibility to ensure both a seamless user experience and efficient development processes.
Ensure visual consistency across multiple digital platforms.
Facilitate frequent updates through a modular, component-based approach.
Provide clear, accessible documentation for both content creators and developers.
Accessible Style Guide
I developed a comprehensive style guide to ensure consistency in typography, color schemes, and spacing. This guide served as a single source of truth for both designers and developers, preventing inconsistencies across the platform.
Accessibility First
Integrated WCAG guidelines from the outset, ensuring that every element—from text contrast to interactive states—met accessibility standards.
Designing in a modular way
Employed Atomic Design to break down the interface into its smallest building blocks—atoms (buttons, icons, input fields), which were then combined into molecules (form elements, cards) and organisms (navigation menus, complete layouts). This ensured a scalable, reusable library of components.
Variant Development
Each components was built with multiple variants, creating versatile modules tailored to a wide range of use cases across the platform.
Modular page structure hierarchy and navigation
Modular page structure organizes content into distinct sections with a clear hierarchy, making navigation intuitive. By arranging information logically, users can easily see relationships, make connections, and find what they need.
Hierarchy and navigation
Accessible headings provide structure and context, helping users—and screen readers—navigate content easily. This allows users to understand the page’s organization and jump between sections efficiently.
Design documentation for Accessibility
Design documentation for the development team was a key part of ensuring a smooth transition from design to implementation.
It was not only a matter of creating a specification document to capture how the modules need to be built - but it was a detailed document that outlines how to implement accessibility features in each component
The result was a modular design framework that streamlined workflows, maintained brand coherence, and supported diverse content needs within the platform.
We successfully brought modularity to UI design, creating a system that is not only flexible, scalable, and cost-effective but also customizable, reusable, and consistent. By incorporating modular design principles and style guides, we enabled a seamless connection between design and implementation.
