When it comes to software engineering, system design takes into account all of the architectural decisions and strategies that shape the entire development process. So, we’d say that it’s pretty essential.
If you’re looking for more reasons, here are a few off the top of our heads:
- Scalability
Good system design makes for scalable websites. It’s a given. What’s great about this is that it lets your site handle increased loads efficiently without sacrificing performance or reliability, which is also great for UX.
- Reliability
A good site is a reliable site, with users choosing consistency and function above all else. By carefully planning and considering your site’s tolerance of specific instances and errors, system design helps ensure your site is highly available and reliable by minimizing downtime and service disruptions.
- Performance
What’s the point in having a kickass site if it performs poorly? By properly optimizing your site, we can improve its overall performance and reduce users' frustration when on a slow, non-responsive, or poorly optimized website.
- Flexibility
Industries change constantly. We understand this, so every system we design is modular and well-structured (not to toot our own horn or anything). But, because of this, the sites we build are more accessible for you to maintain down the line, letting you take the power of your site into your own hands after handoff.
