Systems That Scale With You
One source of truth for your entire product. We build scalable, WCAG-compliant design systems that keep your UI consistent, accessible, and fast to ship.
Systems That Scale With You
Inconsistent UI is the silent killer of growing products. When every team builds from scratch, your product fragments — visually, technically, and in the user experience it delivers. Our Design Systems & Accessibility service builds the single source of truth your product needs: a Figma component library with design tokens, WCAG 2.1 AA-compliant patterns, and comprehensive documentation that aligns designers and developers around a shared standard.
Problems We Solve
Every Design Systems & Accessibility engagement starts by understanding the friction points holding your product back. These are the issues we most frequently uncover and resolve.
Inconsistent UI across products
Lack of reusable components
Poor cross-team collaboration
High maintenance cost
Scaling issues in growing
Accessibility compliance challenges
Slow design and development
How We Work
A structured, evidence-led approach — every step is deliberate and designed to minimise risk while maximising quality and speed of delivery.

Who We Work With
Our Design Systems & Accessibility methodology adapts to different domains and business models. We have helped teams across a wide range of industries and growth stages.
Multi-Product Companies
Unify the UX across multiple products or platforms under a single design language — reducing cognitive load for users and overhead for teams.
Accessibility Compliance
Meet WCAG 2.1 AA requirements for government contracts, enterprise clients, or inclusive product standards without slowing down delivery.
Scaling Engineering Teams
Give developers production-ready component specs, token variables, and documented patterns so design handoff becomes a non-event.
Legacy Product Modernisation
Audit and rebuild an outdated, inconsistent UI system into a modular, maintainable design system without a full redesign.
Why UX Pacific
Not all Design Systems & Accessibility engagements are created equal. The difference lies in whether you receive a deliverable — or a strategy that drives measurable outcomes for your business.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a design system and do I need one?
A design system is a shared library of reusable UI components, design tokens (colours, typography, spacing), patterns, and guidelines that your design and development teams use to build consistently. You need one if your product has more than one designer or developer, spans multiple surfaces (web, mobile, desktop), or if inconsistency, slow design cycles, or expensive maintenance are a problem.
How long does it take to build a design system?
A foundational design system — covering core tokens, a base component library, and documentation — typically takes 6–12 weeks depending on your product's complexity and the number of components required. We take a phased approach, delivering the highest-value components first so teams can begin using the system while we continue building it out.
Does UX Pacific build Figma-based design systems?
Yes. We build all design systems in Figma using industry best practices — atomic design principles, auto-layout, component properties, local styles, design tokens via variable sets, and multi-mode theming (light/dark). We also document each component with usage guidelines, do's and don'ts, and accessibility notes.
What WCAG standard do you design to?
We design to WCAG 2.1 Level AA as our baseline standard. This covers colour contrast ratios, keyboard navigation, focus management, screen reader compatibility, text alternatives, and form labelling. For clients requiring WCAG 2.2 or Section 508 compliance, we can scope to those standards as well.
Can you audit our existing design system?
Yes. We offer a Design System Audit as a standalone service — evaluating your current component library for consistency, accessibility compliance, documentation quality, token usage, and overall maintainability. The audit produces a prioritised remediation plan with specific recommendations for each component and pattern.
How does a design system reduce development costs?
By giving developers pre-approved, documented components to build from, a design system eliminates redundant work — developers stop rebuilding the same button 12 different ways. It also reduces design-dev miscommunication, speeds up QA (consistent components have predictable behaviour), and makes product updates faster and safer to implement across the entire platform.
