Websites are crucial in today’s marketing ecosystem, but keeping them updated and running smoothly has traditionally been a labor-intensive task. From content development to design iterations and resource bottlenecks, it’s clear why marketers are looking for a more efficient solution than your traditional website.
By combining Webflow’s user-friendly platform with our component-based design system, marketers can make a significant impact with far less effort—without sacrificing quality or creativity.
What Is A Component-Based Design System?
A component-based website takes a modular approach to design and development. Instead of treating each web page as a whole, it’s broken into different components or sections driven by the content needs identified in the web strategy phase. This approach is particularly beneficial for small business websites and B2B websites, offering flexibility and ease of updates.
Three key elements make up a component-based design system:
- Components: Components are sections of designed content and placeholder text that make up the modular system. Each component can be easily modified or updated with various types of rich media.
- Component Library: Your component library is a collection of pre-built, custom components created for your website and delivered in Figma. These components are designed based on your established brand and website design. We do our best to anticipate any future component needs.
- Component Style Guide: Brand guidelines created in Figma to help govern your digital brand and inform the creation of any new elements. This document works with your component library through a simple numbering system.
Empowering Marketers
Building a website with custom-designed components means marketers no longer need to hire a developer or rely heavily on internal resources to update or modify their company’s website. Most teams can manage their website independently after the initial build. Talk about a marketing website built for marketers.
Efficiency and Speed
Imagine launching new web content in minutes rather than days. With our component-based design system, this is a reality. This method lets you quickly publish content and create new pages using reusable components. By significantly cutting down on design and development time, marketers can do more with less. This efficiency is crucial for any B2B Website or Webflow enterprise company looking to maintain an agile online presence.
Customization & Flexibility
There’s a misconception that component-based design leads to cookie-cutter websites. At Gigantic, we prove this wrong. Our approach is brand-centric and highly content-driven, allowing for immense flexibility and customization. This approach is perfect for companies in rapidly changing categories like renewable energy and healthcare.
Updates Made Easy
A component design system might seem similar to any other site at first glance, but it’s a game-changer when it comes to post-launch updates. Armed with your component library, component style guide, and Webflow’s user-friendly platform, you can quickly transform elements without starting from scratch. This is particularly useful for agencies focusing on B2B landing pages or those wanting to use A/B testing to create a high-converting website.
High-Quality Content
Content is king, and our component-based approach lets marketers focus on creating top-notch content. We handle the design, development, and technical aspects, freeing you to craft compelling messages that resonate with your audience. Whether you’re in renewable energy or FinTech, the focus on quality content remains paramount.
Supporting Your Strategic Goals
Our component-based approach ensures marketers can focus on their strategic goals rather than getting bogged down in technical details. By managing the complexities of design and development, we allow clients to dedicate their energy to creating the best possible content and achieving their business objectives.
What Makes Gigantic’s Approach to Components Different?
We are brand-centric and care about maintaining your brand’s continuity across platforms and touchpoints. Drawing from our years in branding, we ensure that our component-based design system works within your established rules and elevates your brand.
