Design to Code

Design to code translates product decisions from design representations into implemented software and keeps them aligned through acceptance.

  • Product decisions
  • Implementation
  • Accessibility

What design to code means

Design to code is the translation and continuing correspondence of product decisions from design representations into implemented software.

The term covers more than turning screens into files. It includes the semantic names, properties, states, content, responsive behaviour and accessibility decisions that need to survive implementation.

Why correspondence matters

A design representation records intended product behaviour, but the implemented product is where that behaviour becomes usable. Design to code keeps the two connected so that product decisions do not disappear during translation.
