What Designers Say
Real experiences implementing dark mode across Singapore projects
“We weren’t sure how much dark mode would matter until we launched it. Users are checking the site at night now and they’re staying longer. The feedback’s been really positive about eye strain reduction.”
“The contrast testing took longer than expected, but it’s worth it. Now our site passes WCAG standards in both modes. That’s something we’re actually proud to show clients.”
“Dark mode wasn’t just slapping a dark background on everything. It’s a complete redesign of the color system. Once we got that right, the toggle switch felt natural and users don’t complain about color inconsistencies anymore.”
