What We Build

Design System Services We Offer

From a first-time token architecture to a complete multi-platform component library — we scope and build exactly what your product and team need at your stage of growth.

01

Design Token Architecture

Spacing, colour, typography, shadow, and motion tokens structured for multi-platform output — web, iOS, Android, and beyond — using a single source of truth.

03

Code Component Library

React, Vue, or Angular components matching Figma 1:1, with Storybook documentation, TypeScript support, and automated visual regression testing.

04

Icon System

Consistent iconography library with sizing grid, style guide, stroke/fill variants, and SVG exports optimised for web and native applications.

05

Design System Audit

Review existing systems for consistency gaps, deprecated patterns, redundant components, and scalability issues — with a prioritised remediation roadmap.

06

Accessibility (WCAG 2.2)

AA/AAA colour contrast checks, focus states, ARIA annotations, keyboard navigation patterns, and screen reader compatibility built into every component.

07

Documentation & Governance

Contribution guidelines, versioning strategy, component deprecation workflow, and change management process to keep your system healthy as it grows.

08

Design System Migration

Migrate from legacy UI to a modern design system with a structured rollout plan — component by component, zero regression, full team alignment.

Why 1Solutions

Why Product Teams Choose Us For Design Systems

We don't just build component libraries — we build the processes, governance, and culture that make design systems actually work inside your organisation.

Token-First Architecture

We design token systems that work across platforms from day one — web, iOS, Android — using a single structured source of truth that scales as your product grows.

Figma + Code, In Sync

Our design and development teams work in parallel — so your Figma library and code component library are always in perfect 1:1 alignment, not aspirationally aligned.

Accessibility by Default

WCAG 2.2 AA compliance is built into every component, not audited after the fact — contrast ratios, focus states, ARIA annotations, and keyboard patterns included.

3× Faster Development

Teams using a mature design system ship new features significantly faster — less decision-making, less rework, less QA time on visual inconsistencies.

Documentation That Gets Used

We write component documentation that developers actually read — clear usage guidelines, code examples, do/don't patterns, and prop tables in Storybook.

Governance & Versioning

We build the contribution process, versioning strategy, and change management workflow so your system stays healthy and evolves without becoming a maintenance burden.

Works With Your Stack

We integrate into your existing codebase, CI/CD pipeline, and toolchain — publishing as an npm package, connecting to your Storybook, and fitting your release process.

Team Enablement Included

Every engagement ends with a structured handoff and training session so your team can maintain, contribute to, and extend the system confidently without us.

OUR METHODOLOGY

How We Build Design Systems That Scale

Our five-stage methodology takes you from a scattered UI to a structured, documented, governance-ready design system — without disrupting your in-flight product development.


1

Audit & Discovery

We start by auditing your existing UI — cataloguing every component, pattern, and visual inconsistency. For new products, we run a discovery workshop to understand your product roadmap, tech stack, team structure, and the scale of what you need to build.

2

Token Definition

We define your design token taxonomy — naming conventions, semantic layers, tier structure, and platform targets. Tokens are the foundation everything else is built on, so getting this right before touching any components is essential.

3

Component Architecture

We map every component your product needs, establish a priority order based on usage frequency and complexity, and define the API — variants, properties, states, and responsive behaviour — before any design or code work begins.

4

Build & Document

Design and engineering build in parallel. Figma components are built with auto-layout and variants; code components are built with Storybook stories, TypeScript types, accessibility attributes, and visual regression tests. Every component ships with usage documentation.

5

Handoff & Training

We run a structured handoff session with your design and engineering leads — walking through the token system, component API, contribution process, and versioning strategy. We also provide recorded walkthroughs and written governance documentation for future reference.

Client Reviews

What Our Design System Clients Say

Product teams across US, UK, Canada, and Australia rely on 1Solutions to build and maintain their design infrastructure.

★★★★★

"1Solutions built our entire design system from scratch — Figma library, React component library, Storybook, and governance docs. Our dev time on new features dropped by more than half within the first quarter of adoption."

MH
Marcus Hughes
VP of Product, Finstack — USA
★★★★★

"We had a messy legacy UI with hundreds of inconsistent components. 1Solutions audited everything, built a clean migration plan, and delivered a new design system without a single regression. Genuinely impressive execution."

Frequently Asked Questions

AA design system is a shared library of design decisions — tokens, components, patterns, and guidelines — that enables your design and engineering teams to build product interfaces faster and with perfect consistency. Without one, every team member makes independent decisions that lead to visual inconsistency, duplicated effort, and technical debt. With one, a designer can hand off a component to a developer and know it will be implemented identically every time — across every screen, every release.
ABoth. We build the Figma component library (with auto-layout, variants, and interactive prototypes) and the code component library (React, Vue, or Angular with Storybook). The two are kept in sync so what designers see in Figma maps 1:1 to what engineers ship in production. We can also build the Figma layer only, or the code layer only, depending on where you are in your process.
AA foundation design system — tokens, core components (button, input, typography, colour, spacing), and documentation — typically takes 6–10 weeks. A comprehensive system covering 40–80+ components with full Storybook documentation, accessibility annotations, and governance processes typically takes 3–5 months. We provide a phased delivery plan so your teams get value from week one, not just at the end.
AYes. We work within your existing tech stack, version control system, CI/CD pipeline, and package management approach. We can publish your component library as a private npm package, integrate it into your Storybook instance, and set up automated visual regression tests using tools like Chromatic or Percy. We work with what you have, not what we prefer.
ADesign system projects vary significantly based on scope — the number of components, whether you need Figma only or Figma plus code, the complexity of your token architecture, and the level of documentation and governance. Foundation systems typically start from $8,000. Comprehensive production-grade systems for enterprise products range from $20,000 to $60,000+. We provide a detailed fixed-price quote after a free scoping call.
AWe offer three paths: a one-time build with knowledge transfer to your internal team; a retainer model where we own ongoing additions and maintenance; or a hybrid where we build and train a design system champion on your team. We also offer quarterly audits to identify drift, deprecated patterns, and new requirements as your product evolves.
