Some things you need to consider when designing a UI
Essential tips on designing a UI from our UX and UI experts.
Designing a UI involves a combination of several skills. Great UI design feels completely natural for the user, but it doesn’t happen by accident. It’s the result of a lot of research and testing, with consideration given to several vital elements. I spoke to some of the experts on our UX UI Design.
When designing a UI, you need to balance several things. On the one hand, there’s the user experience. It should go without saying that the user interface needs to serve its purpose for the user it’s designed for. But that’s not the only concern,
Prioritize UX in your UI
When you design something it can be any product like Spotify, Airbnb, TikTok, youtube, framers zipline, etc I mean it can be an application, website, or dashboard, you have to make a pure concentrate that you prioritize UX when you design UI, When you design something only for UI it will look like a full body without the brain, so make sure you keep consistency based of products.
Use text hierarchy when designing a UI
Turning to elements of the UI design itself, the hierarchy of text is one of the most key visual elements to consider. This goes for designing a UI in any format. From an early age, through reading newspaper headlines and straplines, book chapter titles, and any media that involves text, people learn how to use the weight given to text to guide their reading.
maybe you follow some of the greatest websites are use this text hierarchy, now you have a question, like what is the benefit, or why do I have to maintain a visual hierarchy, Visual hierarchy will guide the user where the user needs to focus more, and how a user will ensure easily to reach the user goal.
Use the right icons
Getting icons right is an interesting challenge when designing a UI. Icons in UI need to simply communicate an idea or action or activity. When a designer uses an accurate icon with accurate places that will look good and sometimes the user haven’t to read the point when he has seen an icon he can identify what the topic is, what’s the meaning of the passage sometimes it’s said by this icon, for the understand clear message use right icon with right places it’s maybe considered your UI.
“It’s so powerful that an icon can take the place of a huge block of content,”
Choosing the right icon is very, very important and you might have a library of thousands of icons, but choosing the wrong one could mean somebody doesn’t know to go to that specific part of the page to get help or, you know, or to do something that they need to do.”
Choose colors wisely
Color can also perform a very important role in guiding users through a UI, Color can speak, as powerful as language. You just can’t argue with me about that. Think back whenever you encounter a site or a product, it is the visual appearance, which largely depends on color, that always leaves you with the very first impression, a single color can change a user’s mood and sometimes can be present the way, If somewhere use the Red we can understand maybe those places are dangers, (sometimes it does not work for cultural variants)
Clean Design
One of the most important things to remember during the process of product design is to create a clean, appealing design. A quality design is attractive and easy to read with intuitive navigation. Most importantly, a clean design helps viewers focus on the value of your brand and content instead of distracting graphics and large amounts of text. Often, customers associate website designs with the quality of a particular company or product. Hence, a clean design is vital to providing a positive user experience that encourages customers to return, but sometimes you have to consider it because maybe you need to focus on something important, and when you’re going to include it maybe it will not look clean.
Functionality
When thinking about functionality, there are a few matters to consider. Namely, is the website functional in the literal sense? Are there loading issues or broken links? Are the site’s security features adequate for your business’s needs? In addition to these operational issues, it’s crucial to view your website’s features from the user’s perspective. Are the contact forms, surveys, and customer feedback sections of your site working properly? One or all of these functional issues can prompt a customer to leave your site.
Original Content
When designing a website, it is crucial to write high-quality, original content that is relevant to your company and products. Keyword research can provide topic ideas and, if used sparingly, will help customers quickly locate the content they’re seeking. To increase the appeal, each web page should have no less than 150 words and should include links to credible resources and other pages on your website. More than providing information, the content published on your site should be written to echo your brand’s unique voice.
