We’re tasked with creating experiences that look and function beautifully across a dizzying array of devices and environments. That’s a tall order in and of itself, but once you factor in other team members, clients, stakeholders, and organizational quirks, things start looking downright intimidating. With so many variables to consider, we need solid ground to stand on. Style guides are quickly proving to be foundational tools for tackling this increasingly-diverse web landscape while still maintaining your sanity. Style guides promote consistency, establish a shared vocabulary, make testing easier, and lay a future-friendly foundation. This session will detail best practices and considerations for creating and maintaining style guides, so you can set up your organization for success.
Great news, team. We got the green light to redesign the homepage.
Yeah, the current homepage is super ugly!
Yeah and don’t even ask about the code quality lol.
Exciting! It will be great to do things right this time.
And the visuals will be clean and flat.
And maybe this will give us the chance to finally migrate to a new CMS.
We don’t have time for cohesion and continuity!
AND IF THE BOSS STILL SAYS NO, DO IT ANYWAYS.
IN ORDER TO MAKE THE WHOLE, YOU NEED TO MAKE THE PARTS.
YOU SEEK THE HOLY GRAIL.
