Optimizing the design files not only made the team work faster, but also improved the user experience. These changes helped increase subscriptions and reduce user churn.

Results

  • Team productivity doubled – designers and developers no longer waste time searching for components.
  • UI-related bugs decreased by 30% thanks to a single, clean component library.
  • New features (Upload a Plan / Renders / Panorama / Moodboards) helped grow subscriptions by 17% in the first 3 months.
  • Fewer support requests – users stopped struggling with the interface

Nowadays. File in Figma - 2024

  • Searching for the right file took up to 10–15 minutes per request.
  • Outdated component versions were frequently used, resulting in UI-related bugs.
  • The absence of structured components led to excessive manual edits and duplicated work.

  • Design components lacked systematization, making maintenance difficult.
  • There was no centralized library, leading to inconsistencies in the interface.
