We have been building design systems for many clients in the past two years. In this blog post I want to outline why using design systems has become so popular when building websites and other digital properties.

The challenges many large organizations face is to maintain a consistent branding, corporate design, and usage of approved interaction components across all digital properties. With digital properties I mean all websites, internal systems, social media profiles, email footers, etc.

Web design has changed significantly in recent years. 

In the past all pages of a website were designed individually. Designers often did not pay attention to the re-use of elements, but rather treated all pages separately.

When websites started growing in size and complexity, this often led to inconsistent user experiences, because existing templates were used to display content they were not designed for.

Today, a much more holistic approach to web design is needed, taking current, changing, and future requirements into consideration.

At 1xINTERNET we actively contribute to Open Source, mainly Drupal. We do this for a reason: it's a key business advantage for 1x to be at the very centre of the technology we rely upon and we see a lot of value in contribution to Open Source. Therefore we have done our math on why this is good for us as a company and employees, as well as for our business strategy.

This years DrupalCon in Seattle was again a great experience.

It was the biggest DrupalCon in terms of number of attendees.

It was great to see, that the community and ecosystem around Drupal are both strong and healthy and we have a bright future ahead of us.

The 1x team is growing and we are pleased to welcome three new employees. The E-Commerce and Online Marketing Expert Katherina Engelhard has been a member of the team since December 2018. Then we are fortunate that the two long-standing Drupal developers Joao Ventura and Yannick Leyendecker will further strengthen our developer team. In addition, we proudly announce that we have now opened an office in Berlin at Warschauer Strasse 59a.

In the technical world you will find security updates everywhere, therefore of course also in Drupal.

In this blog post we want to explain why security updates are so important and why they should be done on a regular basis.

We are looking for a system administrator for a permanent position in our company.
