Builders Core - our design system

A collection of reusable components, guidelines, principles, and best practices that guide our designers and developers in creating cohesive and intuitive user interfaces.

Why Builders Core?

Consistency

Builders Core provides a unified set of design standards, ensuring that all elements across various platforms and devices maintain a consistent look and feel. This consistency enhances brand identity and creates seamless and familiar user experiences, regardless of the platform.

Efficiency

By offering a library of reusable components and predefined design patterns, Builders Core streamlines the design and development process. This reduces the need to recreate design elements from scratch, saving time and resources, and allowing teams to focus on more strategic and creative aspects of their work.

Collaboration

Builders Core serves as a common language between designers, developers, and other stakeholders. It fosters better communication and collaboration, ensuring alignment. This minimizes discrepancies, leading to a smoother workflow and high-quality outcomes.  

Scalability

As products and teams grow, maintaining a consistent design becomes increasingly challenging. Builders Core scales effortlessly with the product, providing a solid foundation that accommodates new features, updates, and expansions without compromising on design integrity.

Components The component library contains building blocks such as buttons, checkboxes and input fields. All components have analytics integrated so that we can track how they work in our finished products. 

When a team or project creates a new component – or makes improvements to an existing one – it's added to the library. This way everyone benefits from the great minds in all of Gjensidige. 

Principles We always document the styles, rules and design tokens that our components are built on. The teams and projects use these principles when creating new components and applications.

Examples of principles are

An accessible design system makes it easier for designers to create products that don't discriminate users with disabilities.
