What is a Design System?

Design Systems in Kajoo are foundational tools that help you manage and apply consistent visual and functional styles across all your projects and components. Think of a design system as a central hub for your branding and design rules — including colors, breakpoints, size, spacing, fonts, radius and global styles.

In Kajoo, a design system acts as a centralized place that holds all your design-related settings in one place. This allows you to:

• Create color pallets, breakpoints, size, spacing, fonts and other tokens.
• Define and manage global styles.
• Reuse those styles across multiple components and projects.
• Make updates in one place and have them reflect everywhere the system is used.

Design Systems provide the governance and consistency needed to ensure that every component built and shipped is fully aligned with your brand’s style guide — delivering a unified and on-brand digital experience at scale.

Why Design Systems Matter?

The Design Systems feature in Kajoo is more than just a convenience — it’s a core method for working smarter and more efficiently. Here’s why it adds real value to your workflow:

✅ Consistency Across Projects

By centralizing your design tokens (like colors and fonts), design systems ensure your interface looks and feels consistent — no matter how many screens or components you’re building.

🚀 Faster Design & Development

With reusable styles and predefined tokens, you can eliminate repetitive styling tasks. Designers and developers can move faster, spend less time on styling, and focus more on creating value.

🔁 Easy Updates

Need to update a brand color or font? Change it once in your design system and the updates will automatically apply wherever it’s used — saving time and avoiding human error.

🧱 Scalable for Teams & Projects

Whether you're building one project or many, design systems make it easy to manage multiple visual identities at scale. Teams can work together more smoothly with a shared set of design standards.

🎯 Better Collaboration

By creating a single source of truth for design decisions, you reduce ambiguity and improve alignment between designers, developers, and stakeholders.
