DESIGN THAT'S READY FOR DEVELOPMENT, NOT JUST APPROVAL

RubyWeb builds UX/UI design systems for South African businesses that need component libraries and interaction patterns a development team can actually build from. 
Who Is It For

Who This Product Is For


A UX/UI design system is the right product when you’re planning ongoing development, in-house or with another team, and need a consistent design foundation to build on. 

We build a component system every page pulls from consistently.

We deliver specifications precise enough to remove the guesswork.

A design system scales with every future addition, not just the first build.

Design handoff to developers keeps causing delays.

We carry your brand system into components, patterns, and states.

A shared system keeps design and development aligned throughout.

Why a Design System Over One-Off Designs

UX/UI Design Systems FAQ

You need a design system if: your site has grown to the point where new pages look noticeably different from existing ones, multiple people are making design decisions and the results are inconsistent, you’re planning significant future development and want a scalable foundation, or your development team is spending time resolving design ambiguities that should already be answered. For smaller, stable sites, a lighter approach may be more appropriate. We’ll tell you which situation you’re in. 

Brand guidelines cover the visual identity: logo, colors, typography, and imagery style. A design system covers the application of that identity within a digital interface: the specific components, interaction patterns, spacing rules, and implementation specifications that turn brand guidelines into a buildable, consistent digital product. Brand guidelines answer ‘what should this look like?’ A design system answers ‘how do we build it consistently?' 

We primarily work in Figma, which is the industry standard for collaborative design systems. Design tokens can be exported for integration with development workflows. If your team uses a different toolchain, we’ll scope accordingly. The deliverable is a design system your development team can actually use - not a portfolio piece. 

A focused design system for a defined scope - component library, spacing system, typography scale, and documentation - typically runs 4–6 weeks. A more comprehensive system covering extended component sets, multiple platform contexts, or integration with an existing codebase will take longer. We scope each engagement individually.

Yes. We audit existing interfaces to identify the implicit design patterns already in use, formalize the ones worth keeping, resolve inconsistencies, and produce a documented system from what exists. This is often faster than building from scratch and preserves the decisions that were already working.

Design system costs depend on the scope of components, the complexity of interaction patterns, whether the system covers multiple platforms, and whether we’re building from scratch or formalizing an existing interface. We scope every engagement individually after a requirements conversation and provide a fixed price before work begins.
