Stanford d.school: Building a Modular Web Experience for Creative Thinkers
Crafting a Flexible Component System
Stanford d.school’s website redesign aimed to reflect its dynamic and innovative spirit. Collaborating with a creative agency responsible for design and CMS integration, Southleft focused on developing a robust front-end architecture. Utilizing Fractal, we built a comprehensive component library that allowed for rapid development and seamless integration with the CMS.
