Most teams want a consistent, professional product — but building a full design system can take months, involve large teams, and require heavy governance.

The Mini Design System solves this by delivering a lightweight, practical set of components and rules that instantly improve clarity, usability, and visual alignment across your product.

This is a fast, focused, one-week engagement designed to help teams move faster, reduce inconsistencies, and support predictable, scalable design without the complexity of a full system.


What This Solves

This service is ideal for products experiencing:

• Inconsistent UI elements
• Multiple design styles created over time
• Slow or unclear decision-making during design
• Visual or behavioral mismatch between screens
• Accessibility issues or contrast problems
• Difficulty handing off designs to engineering
• A growing product team without design governance

A mini design system creates a shared foundation that everyone can use.


What You Get

1. Essential component set

A carefully selected set of foundational components, such as:

• Buttons
• Form fields
• Cards
• Navigation elements (optional)
• Alerts and status indicators (optional)

These are the building blocks of nearly every product interface.


2. Accessible typography and spacing system

You’ll receive:

• A clear typographic scale for headings, body text, labels, captions
• Recommended line heights and weights
• A spacing system (e.g., 4/8/16/24 scale)
• Rules that improve readability and hierarchy

This ensures your product feels consistent and easy to use.


3. WCAG-compliant color palette

You get a simple, accessible palette including:

• Primary, secondary, and accent colors
• Neutral grays for structure
• Success, warning, and error states
• Contrast-tested combinations that meet WCAG AA

No more guessing whether colors are accessible.


4. Interaction rules and behavior guidelines

Clear rules that define:

• Hover, focus, active, and disabled states
• Form validation behavior
• Error messaging patterns
• Motion/transition guidance (optional)
• Expected behavior across devices

These help designers and engineers build with confidence.


5. Documentation in Notion or Figma

All components and rules are documented in a clean, easy-to-use format.

The documentation includes:

• Visual examples
• Usage notes
• When-to-use guidance
• Do/Don’t examples (optional)
• Downloadable assets in Figma

This makes onboarding new team members much easier.

Day 1 – Review existing UI and gather product examples
Day 2–3 – Build core components and typographic/spacing system

Pricing

€2,350 – €5,850

Factors affecting cost:
