Article using the card styles for visual consistency.
Design system
A scalable interface system built for performance, accessibility, and real-world product workflows.
System overview
Full tokens & typography → Style guideHow the interface behaves: tokens constrain color, type, surfaces, and spacing so composed UI stays consistent.Full tokens & typography → Style guide
In practice
The same tokens compose into predictable UI: surface, label, field, and action working together.
Color system
Primary (brand ramp)
Secondary (violet ramp)
Semantic
Typography
Body text uses the default size and line height for long-form reading and UI copy.
Small text for captions, hints, and secondary metadata.
const primary = 'var(--brand-700)';Surfaces & elevation
Surface steps stack from page (--surface-0) through raised cards; elevation uses shared shadow tokens. Toggle light/dark in the header to verify contrast.
Spacing & radius
Product workflow example
A real UI flow demonstrating system consistency across interaction patterns.
Stepper & Progress
A multi-step workflow component with next/previous navigation, plus visual linear and circular progress indicators that update as you advance through each step.

Reusable layout primitives for responsive composition—grids, asides, and card patterns. Visual tokens live in System overview.
Grid
Three patterns cover most product layouts: a balanced four-column grid, a content-friendly three-column grid, and a main region paired with an aside.
On viewports below 768px, the grid examples are hidden so cards stay readable; the main + aside pattern below still demonstrates responsive behavior.
Balanced layout (4 columns)

</div>Actions
Interactive elements used to trigger user intent.
Loaders
The Loader component is a small, customizable spinner used for showing loading states. It accepts width, heightand border props (strings or numbers) and sets matching CSS variables (--loader-width, --loader-height,--loader-border) so the pseudo-element spinner can be styled consistently. Place the loader inside a centered container or use a positioned parent (e.g. position: relative) when showing an overlay.
HTML
<div class="loader" role="status" aria-label="Loading" style="--loader-width: 3.2rem; --loader-height: 3.2rem; --loader-border: 4px solid var(--brand-700);"></div>CTA Band
A prominent call-to-action band for demos, downloads, or contact.

</div>Core forms & validation
The patterns you reach for first: controls, validation, search, and a composed contact slice—ordered for product relevance.
Forms & Inputs
Flexible form and input system supporting text, selects, checkboxes, radios, sliders, file uploads, and validation. All controls are accessible, customizable, and support helpful messaging and state via props.
Example: inline review
Label, helper text, validation, and actions as they appear in a real panel.
Control gallery
HTML
<fieldset class="input-action">
<label for="code">Input with action</label>
<div class="controls">
<input id="code" type="text" placeholder="Enter a code" />
<button class="btn btn-primary" type="button">
<span class="label">Join</span>
</button>
</div>
</fieldset>Inline Form Validation
Client-side rules with inline messages, an error summary, and accessible states.
HTML
<fieldset class="fieldset">
<label for="email">Work email</label>
<input id="email" class="is-invalid" type="email" value="not-an-email" />
<small class="hint error">Enter a valid email address.</small>
</fieldset>Inline Async Validation
Debounced “email already taken?” check with loading state and accessible messages.
HTML
<fieldset class="fieldset">
<label for="username">Username</label>
<input id="username" type="text" />
<small class="hint">Checking availability…</small>
</fieldset>Tag chips with typeahead
The suggestion list filters as you type (for example, typing access narrows the list toward Accessibility Standards). Pick an item with the mouse, or Arrow keys then Enter or comma. If your text matches nothing in the list, Enter or comma adds a custom tag. When the field is empty, Backspace removes the last chip. With an empty field, focusing shows either recent picks (when configured) or the full suggestion list.
HTML
<div class="chip-input">
<label class="hint" for="skills">Skills</label>
<div class="chip-box">
<div class="chip-holder">
<span class="chip">React <button type="button" aria-label="Remove React">×</button></span>

</div>
<ul class="chip-suggest" role="listbox">
<li class="chip-opt" role="option">TypeScript</li>
</ul>
</div>Pattern: contact & validation
A composed slice—input, primary action, inline outcome, and success feedback—shows how tokens and components work together beyond isolated controls.
HTML
<form class="card">
<label for="name">Name</label>
<input id="name" type="text" />
<button class="btn btn-primary" type="submit"><span class="label">Send</span></button>
</form>Advanced inputs
Specialized pickers, uploads, and composite fields—useful for dense tools; keep them behind the core patterns when telling the system story.
Combobox / Autocomplete

<img src="/images/example.webp" alt="Slide" />
<button class="btn btn-ghost" type="button">Next</button>
</div>Image Rotator
ImageRotator cycles through an array of images on a configurable interval. Key props:
images— array of {src, alt}interval— rotation period in millisecondstransition— animation style (fade, slide, zoom, flip, kenburns, dissolve, crossfade, none)transitionDuration— animation duration in ms (controls CSS and timing)width/height— sizing; accepts numbers or CSS strings
The component renders layered slides for smooth enter/exit animations and honours prefers-reduced-motion. Remote images are left unoptimized in dev to avoid Next.js optimizer errors.
HTML
<div class="image-rotator image-rotator--slide">
<div class="slide is-active"><img src="/images/example.webp" alt="" /></div>
<div class="slide"><img src="/images/example-2.webp" alt="" /></div>
</div>System principles
Guidelines that define how the system is applied across interfaces.
One primary action per region
Primary actions are used sparingly to maintain clarity and focus.
Semantic colors are reserved for feedback
Warning and error states communicate system status, not hierarchy.
Core patterns precede advanced inputs
Common interactions are prioritized before introducing complexity.
Consistency is driven by tokens
Design tokens ensure alignment across components, themes, and states.
Accessibility is a baseline, not an afterthought
All components are designed to meet contrast, focus, and usability standards.
Built for real products
This system is designed to scale across production environments, balancing performance, accessibility, and usability.
Tabs & accordion
Disclosure patterns placed here so the workflow example stays the primary narrative for multi-step content.
Tabs
Accessible tab interface with ARIA roles, keyboard navigation (←/→, Home/End), focus management, and horizontal scrolling for overflow. Only one tab panel is visible at a time, and all controls are screen reader friendly.
Overview
Pill style tabs.
Overview
Rounded tabs with a flat bottom that sits on the panel.
