Atomic Design is basically a design system strategy that separates the whole process when designing design systems simply to make the whole process easier and in a more organized way.
β €
The process is separated into 5 steps:
β €
πŸ”΅ Atoms
πŸ”΅ Molecules
πŸ”΅ Organisms
πŸ”΅ Templates
πŸ”΅ Pages

Hope this post will help you better understand the atomic design strategy and hopefully will make your design process easier 🀘

Introduction

Atomic Design is a strategy of designing design systems developed by Brad Frost and can help you build your design systems easily and in a more organized way hope this post will help you understand the atomic strategy better and hopefully, it will help you in your next design project!

Atoms

Atoms is the first step in the atomic design strategy, atoms are mostly when you designing the buttons, headlines, paragraphs of your design system.

Molecule

Molecule is the second step of the atomic design strategy, a molecule is basically a group of different components such as a headline and a button merged together.

Organism

Organism is the third step of the atomic design strategy, and this is a group of the same molecules together, such as pricing cards, people profiles, posts, and more.

Template

Template is the fourth step of the atomic design strategy, and as the name already tells us, this is all the elements we talked about (buttons, headlines, cards) merged together to make the screen looking complete.

Pages

Pages are the final step of the atomic design strategy, and in this step, you basically take what you already did before with the template step and organize it differently on each page according to the project.
