BUSINESS REQUIREMENT
Pepperfry wanted to enhance the user experience and cut-down development time for future projects, all while ensuring that the existing screens remain intact.
OUR SOLUTION
We focused on crafting a robust design system that delivers a seamless and visually consistent user experience across all devices. To achieve this, we employed reverse engineering to streamline the process of creating responsive screens. This eliminates the need for multiple website versions, guaranteeing optimal performance and a cohesive look and feel on any device.
CHALLENGES IN EXECUTION & SOLUTIONS
We had to build the design system keeping in mind existing components within a tight 3-month deadline. Unexpected additional breakpoints were addressed through flexible design practices, ensuring comprehensive responsiveness.
A strict 3-month window for design system creation clashed with the usual research and iteration cycles.
A strict 3-month window for design system creation clashed with the usual research and iteration cycles.
The initial plan for 3 screen sizes needed to adapt to 2 additional breakpoints, demanding design flexibility.
Reused existing design system components for efficiency and to avoid breaking compatibility.
OUR APPROACH
We focused on four main pillars to ensure a smooth transition from concept to a fully functional prototype, setting the stage for flawless development, and meticulous deployment.
Understanding & Analysis
We started out by dissecting the website's building blocks and understanding it's usage. A complete understanding the flow and functionality of the product was achieved in this stage.
Methodology
We followed an atomic design methodology by breaking the process into hierarchical stages, going from designing standalone components to entire templates.
Methodology- Foundation
We built the design foundation for the brand by defining it's color, layout, typography and icons. This in later stages served as atoms to build progressively complex patterns and screens.
Methodology- Atoms & Molecules
We built the auto layout, state, and types of atoms. Then we inherited molecules from the atom component.
Methodology- Patterns
We built pre-defined patterns that let designers assemble layouts by swapping components.
Responsive Screens
Our meticulous design ensured the design system adapts seamlessly to any device, for effortless user experience. Figma-powered design solidified consistency and performance, creating a foolproof system for impeccable functionality.
Prototyping : Preperation
All the screens were looped for designer and developers to understand how the screen navigates from one to other.
Prototyping : Results
We achieved a seamless flow of design from one screen to the other.
RESULTS
In conclusion, GeekyAnts delivered a design system design system that fosters seamless harmony across a diverse range of devices. As a result, Pepperfry achieved 100% Responsiveness, 80% Consistency Growth and 300+ Reduction in Design Hours.
