The Figma component library behind 170+ government websites — built for consistency, speed, and the team's ability to scale without rebuilding from scratch every time.

Overview

A system that ships 170+ sites

The Revize Design System is the component library I built and maintained at Revize Software Systems. It powers every government website our team ships — from small townships to mid-sized cities. The goal was never just consistency; it was speed without sacrifice.

Every component is built with Figma variables, design tokens, and mode switching baked in from the start. That means a designer can rebrand an entire template in minutes, swap between light and dark modes instantly, and hand off specs that developers can actually trust.

Architecture

Variables, tokens, and modes

The system is built on three layers: primitive tokens (raw color values), semantic tokens (what colors mean), and component tokens (how components use them). This separation means a single brand color change cascades through the entire system automatically.

Components

Everything a government site needs

The library includes every component a government website could need: navigation systems, hero sections, content blocks, card grids, calendars, forms, footers, and accessibility widgets. Each component is built with real constraints in mind — ADA compliance, mobile responsiveness, and CMS integration requirements.

Navigation

Mega menus, mobile drawers, breadcrumbs, and skip links — all with keyboard navigation built in.

Content Blocks

Hero sections, text blocks, image galleries, accordions, and tabbed interfaces.

Cards & Grids

News cards, event cards, department cards, and staff directories with flexible grid layouts.

Forms & Inputs

Contact forms, search bars, filters, and input fields with validation states.

Impact

The numbers that matter

Sites shipped170+ government websites built on this system, from small townships to mid-sized cities.

Design timeNew project setup reduced from days to hours. Brand customization takes minutes instead of rebuilding from scratch.

ConsistencyEvery site ships with the same component quality, accessibility standards, and responsive behavior.

HandoffDevelopers get pixel-perfect specs with real token values, not approximations. Less back-and-forth, faster builds.

Outcome

A foundation that scales

The Revize Design System isn't just a component library — it's the infrastructure that lets a small design team ship enterprise-quality work at scale. When every component is built right once, you stop fixing the same problems on every project and start solving new ones.
