A style guide is a central page or reference for how typography, colours, buttons, forms and other foundational elements should look. It acts as a visual checkpoint for design and development and makes it easier to see whether the components work together.
What does a style guide involve in practice?
In practice, a style guide may contain headings, body copy, links, buttons, form elements, alerts and examples of spacing. It should show real components and states, not only a list of colour codes. When a foundational style changes, the page can be used to assess the consequences before the change is applied more widely.
A style guide is relevant to new websites and redesigns of existing solutions. It gives developers, designers and clients a shared language for quality. See Design system, Component library and Webflow's guide to style guides.
