Component Library: HDS offers a catalog of accessible, mobile-friendly components ready for use. This promotes consistency and saves development time by providing pre-built elements such as buttons, forms, and navigation tools.
Design Tokens: The system includes a set of design tokens that define colors, typography, and spacing. These tokens ensure uniformity across all products and can be customized to align with specific project requirements.
Accessibility Focus: HDS emphasizes building accessible products that benefit all users, ensuring compliance with accessibility standards and promoting inclusive design practices.
Comprehensive Documentation: Detailed guidelines, code examples, and API references are provided to assist designers and developers in effectively utilizing the system.
