Shared goals in a design project

Practical notes

Shared goals in a design project

Sales may want more enquiries, designers may want a distinctive brand, and developers may prioritise reliable maintenance. These are compatible aims, but they can compete for space when nobody agrees what a visitor should accomplish. Start by describing what the customer needs to understand and do after reading the page.

Design systems and page consistency

Practical notes

Design systems and page consistency

A design system is more than a set of colours and buttons. It helps information do a consistent job: a page title names the subject, section headings organise it, body copy explains it, and buttons identify the next action. Visitors still have to guess if those roles change between pages, even when every page uses the same palette.
