I just love the execution here. It works really well, and the fact that you get the list of sources for further reading is wonderful, just how responsible AI implementations should be done. Great job kickstartDS team 👏🏻 We now have a link we can send anyone to to learn more about design systems effortlessly. P.S. the design is 😘

Thank you very much for your kind words. It is great to get such a nice feedback! 🙏 We would love if you share the Concierge for any Design Systems-related question, that's what the Concierge is made for. 🛎️

Overall the site looks great, I could easily find what I was looking for. I'm maybe missing one thing - customer support and the clarity around that. So I'm not 100% sure where to contact support when I'd be having some technical issues and how long it would take for them to reply. Other than that, I think everything is fantastic.

You can join our Discord Community for basically direct support. You can additionally hit the "learn more" button on our website or drop us a line via email, Twitter or Product Hunt. Plus, from Tuesday on, you can also ask our Concierge any design system-related question

Create your next digital experience faster, more consistent and sustainably than ever.

Hunters! 👋 Say hello the @kickstartDS CMS Starter, our latest innovation designed to connect headless CMS with your Design System seamlessly. 💰 Save money and time while getting a ready to use, productive website deployed in under 30 minutes. This tool is a game-changer for those looking to streamline their content management processes while ensuring design consistency across platforms, like digital marketing teams or agencies do. With our roots deeply embedded in Design System development, we've recognized a crucial aspect: the true potential of a Design System is unlocked when it's applied effectively. This insight led us to develop a solution that embodies our motto: "A Design System is nothing without a system applying it." Our CMS Starters comes packed with strong key features designed to simplify the way you manage content and design and overall equipped for scaling 🚀 🧩 Headless CMS Integration: At the forefront of this launch is our seamless integration with leading headless CMS platforms like Storyblok, Netlify Create, formerly Stackbit and StaticCMS. This feature ensures that any updates made in your Design System are instantly reflected within your CMS, maintaining design consistency across your digital properties. It's all about making your content management as fluid and efficient as possible, allowing for real-time updates and edits without the need for back-and-forth between designers and content managers. 🎨 Design System Included: we included a fully-fledged Design System enriched with 20 years of agency expertise in content-driven web design, offering a comprehensive suite of versatile components tailored for rich marketing experiences. A standout feature is the seamless integration of component variants, or "Presets", with the connected CMS. This allows editors to easily apply pre-defined layouts, ensuring design consistency and leveraging best practices directly within their content management workflow. It's not just about having a collection of UI components; it's about having a fully integrated design system that works hand-in-hand with your content management processes. This means you can easily adapt and evolve your Design System to fit your brand's needs while ensuring seamless implementation across all digital touchpoints. 🗿 11ty Integration: Elevate your project with 11ty, a sleek static site generator. Perfect for projects prioritizing speed, security, and simplicity, 11ty allows you to swiftly create static websites that seamlessly align with your Design System. Ideal for everything from landing pages to a full website. 🥑 Open Source and Community-Driven: In line with our commitment to democratizing Design Systems, the CMS Starters are completely open source, fostering a community of innovation, where feedback and contributions help shape the future of our tools. By being part of this community, you're not just using a product; you're contributing to an ecosystem that values collaboration, improvement, and shared success in the digital design space. 🎯 Each of these features is designed with one goal in mind: to simplify and enhance the way digital marketing teams manage their content and design workflows. By integrating these capabilities into your process, you're setting the stage for more efficient, consistent, and engaging digital experiences. 🙏 Thank you for being part of our journey as we democratize Design Systems and make web design as easy as building LEGO 😉 Your support on this launch means the world to us! 🙌

@kickstartds @dley_de At Tekvo.io, we're big fans of incorporating products like these into our toolkit and always encourage our clients to adopt them rather than starting from scratch. However, we've found that conveying the benefits of these systems to clients outside the IT industry poses a significant challenge. We've developed our own methods for explaining how these solutions can save time and money, while also speeding up time to market. How do you approach this with your clients?

I'm so happy to get this out of the door! 1 1/2 years of development, putting all of our learnings into this release (almost 3000 commits over 13 repositories)! 🚀 And I'm personally super happy that our JSON Schema-based tooling got an Open Source release with this, too. Enabling everyone to build and share their own converters to take Design Systems into even more places, automatically! Check out our tooling here: https://github.com/kickstartDS/s... Shout out to Storybook, too. Also really proud of the Design System we released alongside this, making it even easier to get started... especially when building a content page first! Check it out here: https://storybook.design-system.... Be sure to click through the different addons for a component, when looking at its canvas, too! We really think of this as best-in-class for an integration between Storybook and a Design System. And finally, just jump into it! Choose your starter, and give it a spin... and let us know how it went! This is still only the beginning of our journey, and with today we've only just laid out the foundation, to add much more! 🙌 (btw., the onboarding is super easy... especially when opting for our automated Netlify and Vercel Deployment buttons)

Congratulations on the launchr! As someone who works with digital marketing teams, I understand the importance of streamlining content management processes while ensuring design consistency across platforms. The seamless integration of component variants with the connected CMS is especially intriguing and will greatly enhance efficiency. Keep up the great work! 🚀

@prateekkapoor Thank you! Indeed, we sensed that there is a lot of pains for digital marketing teams when it comes to fast landing page creation!
