Create design documentation that works for the developers

 

As UX becomes increasingly Agile, a need arises to quickly create and iterate new interface elements. Many popular frameworks exist to document front-end design patterns. Most of them connect directly to the website's CSS, and help developers easily create new interface elements and templates. But what happens when the design and UX team aren't working in the site’s CSS? How can we create truly cross-functional design documentation that works both for developers and designers?

 

In this webinar, Harvard Business Review’s Senior UX Designer, Dani Nordin, will describe the process they have been working on to document existing design patterns and create a working set of elements that allow both for rapid iteration of design prototypes and implementation of templates in code.

 

Who Should Attend This?

  • UX designers in cross-functional teams who need to create and iterate on interfaces in rapid, Agile environments

  • Product owners and project managers who need ways to speed up the development of new features without sacrificing great design

  • Front-end developers who want to help designers “design in the browser” without learning a bunch of specialized code

Why Should You Attend This?

  • To learn about the benefits of working in repeatable design patterns

  • To understand the basic structure of pattern libraries: what goes in it and why

  • To move beyond colors and fonts; extending the approach
