What is a SaaS UI/UX Design System?

UI/UX design systems are aspects and rules that you can use across your user interface.

这些系统对于保持一致的界面和用户体验至关重要，而且您还需要它们来维护一致的品牌形象。

UI/UX design systems have three areas: 

• 通过提供对相同元素的访问，可以使用 UI 元素库来确保用户体验的一致性。 
• 响应式设计原则：专注于应用程序在多种设备上的响应能力。 
• Clarity/simplicity: Make the app’s features easy to use and understand.

Some reasons to consider implementing a UI/UX design system in SaaS are: 

• 用户采纳和 留存 
• 客户满意度 
• 降低学习曲线
• Potentially increased sales (though this will also depend on the overall quality of your product/service)

使用过这类系统的公司包括Mailchimp和Dropbox。

You need to think about each of these areas when you start building out your SaaS UI/UX design system:

• Interface clarity/simplicity: Focus on user navigation journeys and make your labels very easy to understand. The layout must be simplistic and consistent, and you should also use high-contrast colors. 
• Research: You need to collect comprehensive feedback; do this through interviews, surveys, and other means. Conducting research into how users interact with your apps by looking at your data is also a necessity. 
• Iteration: Once you have the research information you need, you must start implementing some of the suggested changes. 
• Communication: Effective internal communication is essential. Everyone should know what needs to be done on your app product roadmap, and both your designers/developers need to be on the same page. 

除了进行研究之外，您还应该了解不同的趋势，以考虑您可能还想在您的应用程序中更改什么。

将这些考虑因素用于实施和维护： 

1. 从不同来源获取用户反馈。调查和访谈是一方面，但您还应该查看您的客户支持工单。让您的开发人员和潜在用户也测试该应用程序。
2. 关注新的设计趋势，并考虑可能适合您品牌的模式。您还应该考虑您可能希望实施的不同风格，特别是如果您最近经历过品牌重塑。  
3. 如果人工智能（AI）对您有意义，请加以利用；例如，考虑使用该技术进行个性化设置。人工智能可以成为建议功能和资源的有用工具，但由于可能存在不准确之处，因此事先进行测试至关重要。 

在某些情况下，您可能需要调整公司的文化。虽然改进和协作等因素可能会影响设计系统的成功，但其他变量也可能发挥作用。
