Enterprise applications design language component library: Research and development

Abstract

The following bachelor’s thesis is a study on Enterprise application design language component libraries and their implementation. The object was to further study design systems and their importance as well as develop and put the company’s design language on par with and better reflect current industry design standards. The objective was to create a visually pleasing and concise entirety, whilst also improving the user experience and accessibility of the component library. The work begins with an introduction section explaining the inner workings of the Thesis and its aims and goals. Lemonsoft as a company is introduced and its structure. Having established a baseline, the theoretical studies examine and explain the inner workings and various components of design systems, their implementation and design process implications. The tools utilized are introduced alongside the theoretical work is not the sole focus of the thesis but rather the use and result of them. The end results of the Thesis bring an updated design language and component library for Lemonsoft to be used. The Citrus component library will be updated and maintained in the future to aid the development of the design system and language. This is to ensure an always up to date design ready at hand, as well as to aid in future mockup and proof-of-concept development.
