A large scale project
The variety of platforms, application areas and user types involved, pushed us to come up with versatile and creative solutions. This exciting challenge allowed us to create a sharp visual and a robust system design.
Some figures
- 168 components and variants
- 21 pages examples
- More than 650 websites using the design system
- 1 collaborative and shared documentation
Rich collaborations
A project of this size has led us to collaborate with different actors to complete the project. The Design System has already been applied to the search engine designed by Liip and to the directory designed by :ratio. Then, at the end of the project, we ensured the handing-over to the VPSI (Vice-presidency for Information Systems) which continues to develop this documentation.
