CED
Background
CED Europe is a leading European tech-enabled insurance services and solutions platform. Founded in 1971, the company provides expert services and tech-enabled solutions to help clients manage claims and large calamities.
Core problem
The core problem faced by CED Europe was twofold:
The existing design system did not fully comply with WCAG and accessibility standards.
Following the merger with Figma, there was a need to consolidate multiple design systems into a single, coherent system across all CED product.
The approach for CED europe
To address these issues, the decision was made to implement a new design system using the atomic design methodology. This approach breaks down the design into its smallest components (atoms) and gradually builds up to more complex structures.
Steps taken
Design system audit: We conducted a thorough audit of the current design system version and analyzed the existing component libraries.
Atomic framework Implementation: Using the atomic design methodology, we began building the new design system.
Documentation and developer specifications: We created comprehensive documentation including detailed specifications for developers to ensure consistent implementation across all products.
Key improvements
Enhanced accessibility: We improved the accessibility of colors and components used by CED, ensuring compliance with WCAG standards.
Consistent look and feel: The new design system maintains a uniform appearance across all CED products, enhancing brand consistency and user experience.
Scalability and efficiency: By using the atomic design approach, we created a more organized and reusable component library, which will improve design and development efficiency in the future.
Cross-product coherence: The consolidated design system ensures consistency across all CED products, improving the overall user experience and strengthening the brand identity.
