Overview

About Project

Who is KKday?
KKday is a Taiwan-based travel e-commerce platform that offers over 300,000 unique travel experiences in more than 92 countries and regions worldwide.

Purpose
The goal is to outline a design system for KKday's existing digital platforms, including the website, software, and mobile app. This involves thoroughly analysing the current design across all platforms, focusing on adhering to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).

The project includes remaking icons and system elements to establish a cohesive visual design language and comprehensive guidelines.

The outcome of the Figma prototype highlights the strengths of the design system.

Understanding the problem

Problems Identify and Resolve

Colour contrast

The contrast ratio of the brand colour on a white background was too low.  I adjusted the shades in the button design to address this situation, ensuring better accessibility by following interaction design principles.

Inconsistency

Sometimes, the colour difference is subtle and hard to distinguish with the human eye, but when I analyzed the root CSS file, the colour codes were different. This inconsistency could lead to problems in long-term maintenance.  This situation may be attributed to the absence of a comprehensive design system document. However, the human eye doesn't work with absolute precision, which is how consistency falters due to these foundational differences.

Take away
  • Consider how to keep the design system streamlined yet inclusive, particularly when supporting multiple languages.

  • Include voice and tone in the design system. Consistency in voice speaks to the authenticity of the product, reflecting its personality, while tone conveys mood—both of which directly impact UX copywriting.
