Elements of UI Style

Strunkian Feedback For User Interface Review

This collection of feedback is for the UI engineer that is tasked with implement an UI without much brand guidelines or product design.

NAVIGATION

1. Guaranteed a single Saving Work mechanic across your application:

   1. BAD:

      1. When I upload a picture in the Themes section it gets saved into the working copy automatically.

      2. When I change a text property on the Metadata section I also need to click in a Save.

2. Guaranteed a single Navigation mechanic across your application. Same kind of clicks take you to the same kind of places.

   1. BAD:

      1. When I click on a menu item L1 at level X it takes me to a new page.

      2. When I click on a menu item L2 at level Y it doesn’t take me into a new page.

3. Guaranteed that ALL navigation are real links:

   1. BAD:

      1. When I right click on a button I can’t open a new tab or copy the address.

FORMS

1. Do not use Toasts to notify errors or side effects:

   1. BAD:

      1. When I check if a domain is available and the message appears floating and only last for a few seconds.

      2. When I successfully create a database and only last for a few seconds.

PS: This checklist will be continued.
