  3. MVPs and prototypes

    Create MVPs and early-stage commerce prototypes faster using ready-made components and layouts—without spending time on basic UI setup.

  4. Design-system foundations

    Create internal or external design-system foundations using prebuilt components, tokens, and guidelines that scale with your product.

Still have questions?

Is Silk right for my commerce business?

Silk is designed for single-brand commerce products, including e-commerce platforms, marketplaces, and B2B commerce tools. It helps teams move faster, keep shopping experiences consistent, and scale UI across mobile and responsive web.

Silk is not intended for large multi-brand enterprises that require complex theme switching or highly divergent brand architectures.

Can I customize Silk to match my brand?

Yes. Silk is built around design tokens, variables, and flexible foundations that make it easy to adapt colors, typography, spacing, and layout to your brand. A dedicated manual will explain how to customize Silk while keeping the system consistent and accessible.

Is Silk actively maintained and improved?

Yes. Silk was originally created to help speed up real client projects at Netguru while maintaining high design quality and proven best practices. Today, it is maintained as an open design system, with dedicated resources focused on continuous improvement and usability.

Is accessibility built into Silk?

Yes. Accessibility is ingrained directly into Silk’s components and color palettes. This means teams don’t have to think about accessibility as an extra step—it’s already part of how the system is designed and used.
