Nordhealth Design Principles
Nordhealth's design principles form the foundation of their design system, guiding their team to make better and more informed decisions across different parts of the system.
-
Put user needs first
Care for the people who use products by making their day-to-day and long-term work better and more pleasant through great user experience.
-
Strive for consistency, not uniformity
Use the same language and design patterns wherever possible to help people get familiar with services, while holding true for the system and developer experience.
-
Default to openness
Share what is being done whenever possible, building services transparently to increase visibility and accountability while pushing towards higher quality.
-
Make it accessible
Ensure services are for everyone by making sure people with different needs can use products and meet WCAG 2.1 accessibility standards.
-
Provide a good developer experience
Enable developers to start using tools in minutes rather than hours, days, or weeks, prioritising efficient onboarding and implementation.
-
Automate everything you can
Value the time of colleagues, users, and future selves by proactively looking for ways to automate repetitive tasks and testing.
