Design System Inspiration of Shiftee

Overview

Visual Theme & Atmosphere

Shiftee (시프티) is a Korean workforce-management company, 주식회사 시프티, based in Gangnam, Seoul. Its company page tells the product's arc in three facts: the service launched in 2017 as an attendance-management (근태관리) tool and has since become an integrated workforce-management suite; it is used in more than 30 countries through English and Chinese editions, with an entry into Taiwan in 2023; and 97.2% of paying customers renewed. The suite now covers scheduling, clock-in records, leave, approvals, messaging, e-contracts, attendance reports, payroll, integrations with an Open API, a desktop PC-OFF client and mobile apps. The company says it works with more than 300,000 businesses and workplaces, and its own newsroom reported an operating profit of about 5 billion won for 2023. Its stated mission is to "HR 혁신을 통해 모두에게 더 나은 근무환경을 만듭니다" (make a better working environment for everyone through HR innovation).

The website reads as orderly B2B software. Pages are white (#ffffff) with near-black text: #212529 for the document default and #1e1f21 for headings. Headlines are bold (700) at a descending scale — 58px on the home hero, 52px page titles, 40px section headings — and every heading level carries the same -0.4px tracking. One saturated blue, #004dc1, carries the actions: the header's 무료 체험, the plan buttons, 자세히 알아보기 and the pricing form. On hover it fills a deep navy #0a2864, and on press a brighter #0062cc with a pale blue 3.2px ring. Corners stay nearly square: 3.2px on header and plan buttons, 2px on large buttons, 0px on 뉴스룸 보기. Almost everything is flat. The one recorded drop shadow, rgba(54, 55, 61, 0.25) 0px 8px 24px, sits under the 무료 체험 action of the closing bands.

Key Characteristics:

• Action blue #004dc1 on every filled action, #0a2864 navy on hover and focus, #0062cc on press
• Inter for Latin and Noto Sans KR for hangul in one stack (inter, "Noto Sans KR", sans-serif), bold 700 headings with uniform -0.4px tracking
• Near-square geometry: 3.2px, 2px and 0px buttons, 4px inputs and tags, 8px cards
• A text ladder of #1e1f21 headings, #212529 body, #464a52 feature copy, #54595f notes and #969faa footer links
• Soft blue #dcedfd for the pricing table's 모든 기능 보기 expander, charcoal #35343c for the add-on plan action
• Flat surfaces; the closing bands' 무료 체험 action is the only element with a drop shadow

Primary tasks

• Draw up a shift plan for staff across several stores
• Run the month-end payroll report from recorded attendance
• Request leave from a phone between shifts
• Check attendance records for a chosen date range

Brand Narrative

Shiftee began, in its own words, as an attendance-management service launched in 2017 and turned into an integrated workforce-management solution that covers the whole working cycle: "빠르게 변화하는 국내외 근무환경 속에서 시프티는 근태에서 시작하는 모든 인력관리 경험을 혁신합니다." The company page lists English and Chinese editions used in more than 30 countries, a successful entry into Taiwan in 2023, and a 97.2% repurchase rate among paying customers. Its newsroom on the same site reports an operating profit of about 5 billion won for 2023 ("시프티, 23년 영업이익 약 50억원…역대급 실적 기록"), its readiness to compete with global SaaS companies abroad, and the launch of Shiftee Desktop with PC-OFF for office attendance.

The company states four values. 모든 산업 그리고 하나의 솔루션: the same product should serve every country, size and industry, general-purpose but finely customisable. 솔루션은 고객으로부터: features begin with customers, heard through dedicated customer-success and support teams. 국내 B2B SaaS 생태계 활성화: Shiftee invests strategically in other Korean B2B companies. 한국을 넘어 세계로: flexible design is its weapon for markets beyond Korea, starting in Asia.

The website carries that positioning in a restrained way: white pages, one action blue, bold uniform headings, nearly square corners and almost no shadow, with dark bands reserved for the hero and the closing call to action.

Principles

1. One solution for every workplace. Shiftee's first stated value. UI implication: one consistent component set across scheduling, attendance, leave and payroll.
2. Start from the customer. "시프티의 모든 기능과 솔루션은 고객으로부터 시작됩니다." UI implication: plain labels (무료 체험, 도입문의) and visible routes to support.
3. One action colour. UI implication: #004dc1 for filled actions, #0a2864 for their hover, nothing else competing. (An editorial reading of the captured pages, not a Shiftee statement.)
4. Beyond Korea. UI implication: a type stack that sets Latin in Inter and hangul in Noto Sans KR, so the same layout holds in both scripts.
5. Restraint builds trust. UI implication: near-square corners, flat cards and near-black text. (Editorial.)

Personas

Personas below are fictional archetypes informed by publicly observable Shiftee user segments (HR managers, operations leads and shift-based business owners), not individual people.

박민서, 38, 서울. HR manager at a 400-person retail chain. Runs monthly shift plans and payroll across dozens of stores and wants scheduling, attendance and the payroll report in one place instead of a stack of spreadsheets.

James Okafor, 45, Singapore. Operations director at a regional logistics firm using Shiftee in several countries. Cares that the English edition behaves like the Korean one.

이수아, 31, 경기. Café-franchise owner handling part-time schedules and leave requests from her phone. Starts with the free trial and wants plain workflows without HR jargon.

Colors

Every token below was read on 2026-09-30 from shiftee.io/ko, /ko/pricing and /ko/company by the deterministic collector, and hover, pressed and focus values by the fixed keyboard probe. The tokens describe Shiftee's public Korean website; the Shiftee app behind 로그인 was not captured and none of its values is claimed.

Primary

• Action Blue (#004dc1): The fill of 무료 체험 in the header of /ko/pricing and /ko/company, the plan actions 문의하기, 자세히 알아보기 on home, 뉴스룸 보기 on /ko/company and the button of the pricing email form — 14 recorded fills across the three pages. It is the primary because it is the colour of the product's primary action, the free trial, on every page where the header is solid. It is also the label and border of 로그인, the label of the white buttons, eyebrow text on /ko/company and link text on cards. Over the home hero the header's 무료 체험 is a translucent white button instead; on hover it turns white with a #004dc1 label.
• Action Blue Hover (#0a2864): Hover and focus fill of the blue buttons, settled after their 0.35s transition. The header 도입문의 and 모든 기능 보기 labels also turn #0a2864 on focus or hover.
• Action Blue Pressed (#0062cc): The pressed fill of the blue buttons, with a #005cbf border and a rgba(38, 143, 255, 0.5) 3.2px ring.
• On Primary (#ffffff): Labels on the blue and charcoal buttons.

Neutral & Surface

• Canvas (#ffffff): The body background on all three pages, the Enterprise plan card and the statistics cards.
• Surface (#f4f7fb): The add-on plan card (부가서비스 추가) on /ko/pricing, read from the ancestor of its button.
• Band Blue (#074499): The colour behind the outlined 무료 체험 in the home closing band, as the probe read it; the band's own element was not recorded.
• Soft Blue (#dcedfd): The 모든 기능 보기 expander, which fills #badbfa on hover, with a #c2cad5 border on three sides.
• Charcoal (#35343c): The add-on plan's 문의하기, #494a4e on hover.
• Tag Blue (#0575e6): The tag across the top of the highlighted plan card.
• Hairline (#ced4da): The border of the pricing email field, whose text is #495057.

Text

• Heading (#1e1f21): Headings, card titles and the header navigation on /ko/pricing and /ko/company.
• Ink (#212529): The document default text colour.
• Body Muted (#464a52): Feature descriptions on home.
• Caption (#54595f): Plan notes on /ko/pricing.
• Muted (#969faa): Footer links.
• On Dark (#e7ecf7): Descriptions set on the dark bands of home, /ko/pricing and /ko/company.

Brand assets, not tokens

• The 정부지원사업 menu item in the top bar carries a badge-check icon in #ffc31b on home and #ff9000 on the other pages; these are icon colours, not interface tokens.
• The Shiftee logo and the hero imagery were not measured; no logo colour is claimed. The home hero's own fill was not recorded: the buttons over it read white or translucent white, and their ancestors are transparent.

Typography

Font Family

• Live surface use: every recorded text element computes inter, "Noto Sans KR", sans-serif (only the icon glyphs differ). Inter is loaded / high with 916 observed uses, served from Google Fonts (fonts.gstatic.com/s/inter/v20/). Inter has no hangul, so Korean text falls through to Noto Sans KR, served from Google Fonts in unicode-range slices (fonts.gstatic.com/s/notosanskr/v39/). The collector credits text to the first family in the stack and so lists Noto Sans KR as declared / medium with 0 uses. A same-day headless read of shiftee.io/ko found Noto Sans KR faces loaded (weight range 400–800), and document.fonts.check('700 58px "Noto Sans KR"', "기업") returned true.
• Official distributed font assets: Inter's LICENSE (rsms/inter) states "Copyright (c) 2016 The Inter Project Authors" and the SIL Open Font License 1.1; it was opened on 2026-09-30. The Noto Sans KR licence was not opened this session.
• Official product use: no Shiftee page opened this session names its typefaces, so no statement of official product use is made.
• Declared only (no visible use): Font Awesome 5 Brands, slick (carousel icons) and the tawk-font-icon / tawk-icon faces of the embedded chat widget. Font Awesome 5 Pro is loaded as an icon font (3 uses, the badge-check icon) from pro.fontawesome.com; it sets no text.
• Unresolved: none.

Hierarchy

Principles

• Bold headings, regular reading: every heading from 17px to 58px is weight 700; reading text is 400.
• Flat tracking: headings hold -0.4px at every size and text holds -0.24px, rather than tracking that scales with size.
• Two scripts, one stack: Latin in Inter and hangul in Noto Sans KR, with no separate Korean size scale.

Layout

Spacing System

• Header and plan buttons: 14px vertical, 25.2px horizontal padding at 44px height
• Large buttons: 15px 45px at 47px; the hero contact button 16px 28.8px at 50px
• Statistics cards: 26px 24px
• Email field: 6px 12px at 38px
• Frequent spacing values in the capture: 12, 16, 5, 14, 8, 24 and 15px

Grid & Container

• The pages use a Bootstrap-style grid: class names such as container, row, col-12 col-sm-6 col-md-4 col-lg-3 and col-12 col-lg-6 appear on the captured elements.
• Home opens with a white hero headline and two actions, then a four-column grid of 307px feature link cards, alternating feature sections, statistics, and a closing band with two actions.
• /ko/pricing sets its plans in columns, then a full-width expander (1170px), feature tables and an FAQ of 1110px panels.
• /ko/company opens with a hero, three statistics cards, the company values, three press cards (380 × 406) and a closing band.

Whitespace Philosophy

• Calm B2B layout: large headings over open white space, with dark bands for emphasis near the top and the end of a page.
• Flat segmentation: sections separate by background colour, not by borders or elevation.

Border Radius Scale

• 0px: the default and the 뉴스룸 보기 button
• 2px: large buttons (자세히 알아보기, the closing band actions)
• 3.2px: header and plan buttons
• 4px: the email field's left corners and the plan tag's top corners
• 5px: the expander's bottom corners
• 8px: statistics cards

Responsive Behavior

Breakpoints

Only the 1440 × 900 desktop viewport was captured (the probe used 1440 × 1000). The grid classes (col-sm-6, col-md-4, col-lg-3, col-lg-6) show that the layout reflows at Bootstrap's sm, md and lg breakpoints; no breakpoint value was measured.

Touch Targets

• Hero contact button: 50px
• Header contact link: 49px
• Large buttons: 47px
• Header and plan buttons: 44px
• Email field and its button: 38px
• Features expander: 57px

Collapsing Strategy

• /ko/company carries a sft-sm-text-center class on its hero text, a sign that the hero centres on small screens; how the pages collapse was not captured.

Image Behavior

• Press cards and feature link cards sit flat, without borders or shadows.

Elevation & Depth

Shadow Philosophy: shadow is rare. It appears on the actions of the closing bands and, as a ring, on pressed and focused buttons. Hover on large buttons lifts them by 2px instead of adding a shadow.

Motion & Easing

The probe read the transitions the controls compute. The blue, white and charcoal buttons transition all 0.35s ease-in-out; the header 도입문의 and the features expander transition all 0.3s ease. Large buttons lift 2px on hover (matrix(1, 0, 0, 1, 0, -2)), and the expander's arrow icon turns. Nothing else about motion (carousels, counters, page transitions) was measured; treat it as unspecified and honour prefers-reduced-motion in any build.

States

Only these states were observed on the three captured pages; nothing else is specified here.

Error, empty, loading, success and disabled states were not captured and are not described. The square 뉴스룸 보기 button and the email field were not probed, so their states are unmeasured, not absent.

Do's and Don'ts

Do

• Use #004dc1 for every filled action and fill #0a2864 on hover
• Keep button corners at 3.2px (header, plan) or 2px (large); keep cards at 8px
• Set headings in weight 700 with -0.4px tracking and reading text at 15px weight 400
• Put Noto Sans KR after Inter in the stack so hangul renders in it
• Use #1e1f21 for headings and #212529 for text, not pure black
• Use #dcedfd for soft secondary controls in tables

Don't

• Don't round actions into pills; no captured radius exceeds 8px
• Don't add card shadows; the recorded cards are flat
• Don't render Inter or Noto Sans KR with another face in their place
• Don't set headings in light weights; every captured heading is 700
• Don't invent a brand focus ring beyond the measured 3.2px rgba(38, 143, 255, 0.5) ring on pressed and focused buttons

Voice & Tone

Shiftee's voice is clear, capable and reassuring: it names the job the product does, backs it with figures and keeps actions short. The Korean site speaks to HR managers and operators as professionals.

Voice samples (verbatim, opened 2026-09-30):

• "통합 인력관리 솔루션 | 시프티" — shiftee.io/ko page title.
• "기업의 도약을 위한 솔루션,Shiftee" — home hero headline.
• "인력관리에 필요한 모든 기능" — home section heading.
• "전 세계 300,000+ 기업과 사업장에서 시프티와 함께 더 나은 근무환경을 만듭니다." — home and /ko/company.
• "지금. 인사업무 변화가 시작됩니다." — /ko/company closing band.

Forbidden register: hype superlatives, fear-based compliance copy, undefined jargon, exclamation-heavy marketing.
