Tips For A Good UI/UX Design

Prototyping the UI

1. Animation and Interactivity
2. Making the interface adaptable to all devices and screen sizes
3. Implementation of the design with the developer.

1. Since UI and UX systems are closely linked, for designing UI systems a feedback from UX is beneficial. The starting step should be to understand the problems being faced in UX that need to be addressed. He should also understand the user flow, key product areas, and hierarchies. Next mockups can be made. They are then tested and then should get it approved by UX designers. This will make the launch smooth.
2. The UI should be designed keeping the target audience in mind. At planning stages of design of a website, it is important to look at things from a user’s point of view. The interface should be designed bearing in mind why the user will use the website and how he will be drawn towards it. An idea about the user’s needs can be obtained from competitor’s websites. By searching the popular websites in your project’s field, you can get an idea about the type of design that appeals to the user. Once you have a basic idea about the design, you can develop your own design. Then you can differentiate it from your competitors. You can also try to get a feedback from the user to improvise.
3. A simple UI is popular among its users. The user should find the website easy to navigate. It should be designed such that the user is guided to reach his destination on the site easily.
4. The interface should be consistent throughout its design. As the user navigates through the site, the simplicity of the design should be maintained. He should not be exposed to new complexities.
5. The interface should be designed so as to highlight important elements of the interface. This enables the users to focus on them.
6. Typography should be used effectively. A variety of fonts are available. Every font has its own personality. The designer should select fonts that will appeal to his target audience. The size of the font selected also plays an important role. A font if properly selected helps in establishing the visual hierarchy. Headings can be highlighted. Contrasting backgrounds can be used to give an effect of the text popping out.
7. Proper usage of colours and contrasts also helps in a good interface design. Colours play an important role in creating visual hierarchy, establishing a relationship between elements, holding the user’s attention and elevating the level of the designs. For an interface design, a colour scheme can be maintained with a proper combination of colours. Using too many colours does not create a good interface. Colours used in contrast create a good impact. Dark colours are generally considered heavyweight colours. It is a good idea to balance them out with lighter shades.
8. A good interface design provides intuitive feedback messages to its users. For instance, if the user has filled a field incorrectly, a quick feedback informing him about it can be provided.
9. Most interfaces require their users to fill up forms. However, users are not very fond of filling forms. It is beneficial to design forms that are not very lengthy in filling. If an interface has a simple form to fill, it becomes popular among its users.
10. It is beneficial to work in teams while designing an interface. There are a number of collaboration tools available to help in collaborating to design the interface.

Designing an interface is not a simple process. It warrants multidisciplinary collaboration. It also requires technical information about the audience. UI design is also related to UX design. Hence, UI design should consider user experience also. The purpose of a UI design is to anticipate the user’s needs and design the interface to include elements that are easy to access, understand and use to fulfill those needs. Whereas the UX is a subjective field as it depends on the user’s emotions. Hence, it can’t be quantified.
