Build web design systems, not just pages.

If you’re jumping into web design by designing pages upon pages, then it’s time to put your web process under the microscope and look at the benefits of Atomic Web Design.

Traditional web design usually starts by creating a series of pages – usually a home page, an about us page, a product page, and so on.

Often these are one-off pages that require a lot of custom code, images, CSS, and so on, but the reality is they’re not scalable, can create a lot of inefficiencies and aren’t particularly good at integrating with CMS’s or other Modern Marketing technologies.

Enter Atomic Design.
Atomic Design is a methodology for creating the design systems that will be used in the building of your modern website. We break down the key building blocks into the smallest interface elements, called Atoms, and those are things such as type, colour, grids and so on.

From there, those elements can be combined to create Molecules, which are more complex page elements, to Organisms, Templates and then ultimately the specific Pages of the website. It’s a very organic process.

This design system promotes consistency and scalability.
