# What is the US Pharma Design System?
The US Pharma Design System is a set of pre-built, reusable components, patterns, principles, best practices, and guidelines that allows its users to build consistent web experiences.

By using the pre-built components, the teams spend less time designing and building and more time customizing their web sites to address specific end user needs.

Three primary business benefits of a design system:

* Ensure brand and design consistency throughout Novartis Brands and user interfaces with one central design system.
* Meet performance, quality, compliance (MLR), and accessibility standards with industry-standard and tested UI components.
* Reduce the effort of UI Designers and Front-End Developers with a turn-key atomic UI library.
