Design System Release Tips

Design Tokens First

Always ensure design tokens are consistent before releasing. They're the foundation that keeps your entire system cohesive.

Accessibility is Non-Negotiable

Test with screen readers, keyboard navigation, and high contrast modes. WCAG compliance protects all users and prevents costly retrofits.

Communication Strategy

Notify teams early about changes. Provide clear migration guides and consider hosting office hours for complex updates.

Documentation Quality

Keep Storybook, Figma, and code examples in sync. Outdated docs create confusion and reduce adoption.

Performance Impact

Monitor bundle size and runtime performance. Large design systems can significantly impact application load times.
