HTML Enterprise Design System and Component Library Development

HTML Component Architecture

From design chaos to systematic clarity

A rapidly expanding educational institution faced a familiar challenge: multiple teams developing digital platforms independently, each with its own look and feel. The result was inconsistent user experiences, duplicated components, and growing design debt that hindered progress. They needed a unified design system to bring consistency, efficiency, and collaboration across every team.

Project Overview

Type

Design System & Component Library

Duration

4 months

Team Size

Lead Developer + Design Partner

Technologies

HTML TypeScript Storybook CSS-in-JS Figma Design Tokens Webpack
Component library structure and organisation

The Problem

Multiple digital teams creating similar interfaces with inconsistent design and functionality

No shared design library-each department maintaining its own fragmented Figma files

Onboarding new developers and designers slowed by unclear standards and missing documentation

Accessibility compliance issues due to inconsistent markup and navigation behaviour

Design and content updates requiring manual effort across numerous platforms with no unified system

Component library structure and organisation
Design system documentation interface

The Solution

Conducted comprehensive component audit across all products to identify patterns and consolidate duplicates

Built atomic design system with base tokens, primitive components, and composed patterns

Integrated Storybook with interactive documentation, usage guidelines, and accessibility testing

Implemented design token architecture synced from Figma to code, enabling single-source updates

Created migration toolkit with codemods and component mapping guide for gradual adoption

Responsive grid system demonstration

The Outcome

A production-ready design system that became the foundation for all new product development.

40%
Reduction in average feature delivery time after rollout
35+
Shared components published and versioned in production
100%
AA/A WCAG Accessibility compliance across all live components

Other highlights

  • Development teams building new features 60% faster using documented, tested components
  • Design-to-development handoff time reduced from 2 weeks to 3 days with shared token system
  • Accessibility compliance improved to 100% WCAG AA/A across all products using system components
  • 35+ production-ready components adopted across product teams
  • Zero reported visual regressions after implementing automated Chromatic testing pipeline
