About Buckeye UX

Ohio State's design system.

Buckeye UX (BUX) is a focused set of front-end user interface components. It provides web designers and front-end developers with tools to accelerate the process of making user interfaces that look and function in a consistent, brand-compliant manner, as well as integrate accessibility and security best practices.

BUX improves the digital experience when on an Ohio State digital property, ultimately strengthening their brand experience.

Who is BUX for?#

BUX is an open-source design system and front-end framework, intended for use by Ohio State colleges and units, as well as vendors creating websites and other digital products.

Why did we build BUX?#

BUX has been developed in cooperation with the Office of Marketing and Communications in order to create a consistent experience across Ohio State's web ecosystem that aligns with Ohio State's brand. BUX creates an opportunity to increase efficiency and effectiveness among web content producers among all colleges and units. We believe that by sharing design and development efforts, we can co-create solutions that are consistent, functional, accessible and reusable.
