Have you ever renovated your house while living in it? Hard, right? This is timeanddate.com’s journey of renovating our 25+ years old website while our 2 million daily users still live in it.

With a website as diverse, “rich” and full of data and “old charm” as timeanddate.com , it's no simple task to create a new design system with both robust and flexible components.

We share challenges, learnings and examples from building our design system, Clockwork. After a few failed attempts, we have started rolling out components. There is still a lot of work left, but eventually we’ll have a refreshed and consistent look & feel across all the pages of timeanddate.com.
