So What’s a Webflow
Design System / Style Guide
@ransegall

5. Why Use a Style Guide?
•Once it’s setup - building is much faster
•Reuse components easily
•Make global changes easily
•Central location to visually see all main styles /
components
•PS - this also makes sense to create in your design
software
@ransegall

6. What Should Be Included?
•Typographic elements (Titles, headers, body, links..)
•Button types
•Colors
•Grid (containers, columns, layouts)
•Repeatable components (FAQs, Team bios, post/article) - including their
interactions
•Popups / Modals interactions
@ransegall

7. How To Style the Elements?
•Whenever possible - style native HTML Tag
•Use only Global Colors
•Never leave default names - always be clear
•Start from the “global” use-case, than narrow to the specific use-cases

THE PROCESS

9. The Steps
1. Create the style guide in your design software - make sure elements have style
names to keep consistency / future updates easy
2. From Atoms to Organisms: start with basic HTML tags (type & links), and then
build the more complex components
3. Create a task list of all elements you need to rebuild - don’t forget layout &
interactions.
4. Create a new project & load fonts
5. Create the style guide page
