It has been argued that UX styles and standards are just a seductive fantasy. No matter what we do, our carefully-crafted style guides and libraries seem inevitably doomed -- sacrificed to one-off solutions pushed live in the name of "Agile." Existing guides become obsolete, so new ones must be created.

This session introduces Style Frameworks, a new standards format designed to break this cycle. Style Frameworks consolidate visual and coding standards from marketing, user experience and engineering into a single, unified source supported by the entire company. The conversation will include a step-by-step walkthrough of everything needed to create and effectively maintain a Style Framework. Attendees will be provided a link to download a sample Style Framework they can freely modify and implement right away.
