Creating the Perfect Design System Style Guide Site

Learn more about how to create design system style guide and reference sites in my workbook, "Design System in 90 Days:" danmall.com/products/design-s...
Most design system style guide sites are dry, technical documentation sites, but they could be so much more. In this video, I encourage you to take less influence from other companies' design system reference sites and instead look to some unconventional places for inspiration in connecting with the designers and engineers who'd love to use your design system.

Never thought about design systems website in this way. This is really enlightening and makes more sense.

[@DanMallTeaches]

Glad to give a new perspective!

​@@DanMallTeachesI think this also needs some partnership with a Brand team. I don't know any design system team (personally) that would have the visual design chops to make a successful marketing site all on their own. But that could be a good thing to get Brand more involved too!
