1. UI/UX Design Checklist
1. Branding & Consistency
Brand Colors:
●Primary/secondary colors align with brand guidelines.
●Color contrast ratios meet accessibility standards.
Typography:
●Fonts are consistent with brand guidelines (primary and secondary fonts).
●Font sizes and weights follow a clear hierarchy (headings, subheadings,
body).
●Use a legible font (sans-serif for web, scalable fonts for mobile apps).
●Maintain proper line spacing (1.15x line height for readability).
Logo Usage:
●The logo is placed (header/footer) appropriately and scales well across
devices.
Theme Style:
●Consistent use of design elements (flat, material, minimal, corporate, etc.).
●Icons, buttons, and visual styles align with the overall theme.
●Define a design system (Material Design, Apple HIG, or custom style
guide).
2. Layout & Structure
Visual Hierarchy:

2. ●Important elements (CTAs, key info) are prioritized visually.
●Content is scannable with clear headings and bullet points.
●Proper use of headers, sections, and spacing.
Grid & Alignment:
●Grid system used for alignment (e.g., 8pt/12-column grid).
●Consistent padding/margins (e.g., 8px/16px increments).
●Keep UI elements aligned and proportionate.
Whitespace:
●Balanced use to avoid clutter and improve readability.
3. User Experience (UX) Fundamentals
User-Centered Design:
●User personas and scenarios are defined.
●User flows are intuitive (e.g., signup, checkout).
Navigation & Information Architecture:
●The menu is responsive (dropdowns, mega-menus).
●Breadcrumbs for multi-level pages.
●Ensure primary navigation items are accessible within 3 clicks.
●Optimize for thumb-friendly navigation on mobile.
Consistency:
●Reusable components (buttons, cards, modals) behave uniformly.
●Terminology is consistent (e.g., "Save" vs. "Submit").
Feedback & Response:
●Interactive elements provide feedback (hover, click, loading states).
●Error messages are clear and guide users to solutions.
●Provide instant feedback for user actions (success messages, alerts).
Loading Times:

3. ●Loading indicators (spinners, skeletons) are used for delays >1 second.
Cognitive Load:
●Minimal steps for critical tasks (e.g., checkout in 3 steps).
●Avoid overwhelming users with too many options.
4. Accessibility & Inclusivity
Contrast & Readability:
●Text and background colors meet brand standards.
●Minimum font size of 16px for body text; avoid low-contrast text.
Keyboard Navigation:
●All interactive elements are accessible via keyboard (tab order).
Inclusive Design:
●Use icons, labels, or text alternatives to avoid relying only on color cues.
●Provide captions/transcripts for videos/audio content.
●Images, icons, and non-text elements have descriptive alt text.
5. Buttons & Interactive Elements
Button States:
●Defined states for normal, hover, active, and disabled.
●Ensure buttons are big enough (42 px minimum for touchscreens).
●Use clear and actionable labels (e.g., “Get Started” instead of “Submit”).
Forms:
●Auto-focus on the first field.
●Validation in real-time (inline errors).

4. ●Clear success/error messages.
●Minimize user input (auto-fill, dropdowns instead of text input).
6. Mobile Responsiveness & Adaptability
Responsive Design:
●Breakpoints are defined for mobile, tablet, and desktop.
●Elements reflow gracefully (e.g., grids to single columns).
●Implement fluid layouts instead of fixed-width designs.
●Optimize for different screen sizes & resolutions.
Touch-Friendly UI:
●Buttons, dropdowns, and toggles are optimized for touch.
●Ensure proper spacing to prevent accidental taps.
Mobile-Specific Navigation:
●Bottom/top navigation bar for primary actions.
●The back button/gesture works consistently.
●Sticky navigation for long scroll pages.
7. Interaction Design & Animations
Micro-Interactions:
●Subtle animations for transitions (e.g., button clicks, page loads).
Animations:
●Purposeful and non-distracting (e.g., loading, success feedback).
●Avoid unnecessary animations that slow down interactions.
Progress Indicators:
●Used for multi-step actions (e.g., checkout, signup).

5. 8. Performance & Technical Considerations
Optimized Assets:
●Compressed images (WebP, AVIF) used.
●Icons are from a unified set (e.g., Material Icons).
Lazy Loading:
●Used for images/videos below the fold.
Fast Load Times:
●Aim for < 3 seconds on mobile.
Cross-Browser Compatibility:
●Tested on Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge.
9. Testing & Validation

●Tasks: Signup, checkout, navigation.
A/B Testing:
●For critical flows (e.g., CTA button, colors).
Device Testing:
●Test on iOS, Android, tablets, and multiple screen sizes.
User Feedback Loop:
●Include feedback options (e.g., in-app surveys).
