Introduction

Windmolen(windmill in Dutch) is Vandebron's system for designing interfaces and experiences.

Why should you use Windmolen?

Here are six reasons why you should use Windmolen for your products:

  • Consistency: Windmolen provides a single source of truth for designers and developers, which keeps your products consistent and minimises the chance of human errors.
  • Reusability: We design and build reusable and scalable components that can be used throughout our products by designers, developers and other teams.
  • Craft & Quality: Our specialist developers and designers focus their energy on crafting and maintaining the design system, and they're here to support you and your products.
  • Accessibility: We design and build with all users in mind. Accessibility is built in from the start and tested at every step of the process.
  • Efficiency: By using our library of pre-designed and pre-built components, you can work faster and focus your energy on solving new problems instead of rebuilding the same assets.
  • Alignment: No matter if you are a designer or developer, Windmolen provides you with a common language and goal.

How we support you

Windmolen is both a service and a product. We(Design) create and maintain its contents and guidelines, and also support other teams through standardization and mentoring.

Windmolen's goal isn't to take ownership of design from designers. It's to support and ensure all Vandebron's products align to the system, providing scalability, consistency and high levels of craft.
