How would you decide which shared components are worth standardising across our websites and apps?

Question

Accepted Answer

A useful starting point is to look for interface elements that are repeated across products and where inconsistency or rebuilding is causing a real problem. Design systems can give teams shared principles and reusable components, improving consistency and efficiency. The right components to standardise depend on the products, users and technical environment. Annex’s approach includes identifying what already works and testing design and technical choices in context, rather than assuming every product should use the same patterns.

Useful next steps

Use this answer as a practical starting point. Current scope, specifications, compatibility, availability, pricing, timing and next steps should be confirmed directly with Annex where they affect a decision.
