20 Mobile User Interface Design for Your Inspiration Designers of mobile interfaces are becoming more prominent in today’s faced-paced web space. While mobile-optimized sites may lighten the burden on a site developer, some prefer building a full featured app instead. App designers and developers are in high demand now particularly in user interface. UI design focuses on user experience and interaction, and while being easy-to-use is important, an attractive yet still practical design is essential to the success of an app. Today I’d like to show you some mockups, sketches, buttons, tables, splash screens, and many more examples of iPhone app (UI) designs for your inspiration. If you’re familiar with iPhone or iPad designing, you’ll recognize all these terms above. Recommended Reading: Design Killer Mobile App Websites: Tips And Examples
4 Lessons From The Web’s Most Ruthlessly Addictive Site During the average workday, I allow myself to take a couple “Internet breaks,” little bursts of Tumblr and Gawker and other forms of web candy that tug at my attention span like a needy kid. There’s one web threshold I never step over on a weekday, though: the Mail Online. The online outlet of the British tabloid is a one-way ticket to an hours-long surfing spree of celebrity gossip and moral outrage. It’s not web candy--this is web crack. And it’s not just me. That question was partially answered this week, when the Mail Online was singled out for a Design Effectiveness Award by the British Design Business Association. More Is More, Ad Placement Be Damned! Brand42 started off by throwing out traditional ideas about above and below the fold, a model many news sites have maintained online. Like A Maze With No Deadends An average sidebar on a Mail Online story has nearly 70 stories, each with its own image. Okay, So This Rule Is Pretty Standard Win The Ladies, And You’ve Won The Web
Building your first dynamic website – Part 1: Setting up the site and database It sounds like a lot of work, but the process on the web server usually takes only a fraction of a second. You build PHP pages in Dreamweaver in the same way as ordinary web pages, and add the dynamic code using server behaviors or typing it manually. The PHP engine processes everything between <? PHP uses variables as placeholders for values that are likely to change, and functions to perform various tasks. <p>Hello, <? The PHP engine processes the code in both PHP blocks, and outputs something like this, depending on who's visiting the site and what day of the week it is: <p>Hello, David. PHP also uses loops to simplify repetitive tasks, such as displaying the results of a database query. Note: You don't need to know PHP to complete this tutorial, but your ability to create database-driven sites will be extremely limited if you rely solely on Dreamweaver's server behaviors to do everything for you.
Principles of User Interface Design Clarity is job #1 Clarity is the first and most important job of any interface. To be effective using an interface you've designed, people must be able to recognize what it is, care about why they would use it, understand what the interface is helping them interact with, predict what will happen when they use it, and then successfully interact with it. While there is room for mystery and delayed gratification in interfaces, there is no room for confusion. Clarity inspires confidence and leads to further use. Find Out How - Mac Basics Stop designing for screen width, design for content 320, 768 and 1024. Do these numbers mean anything to you? No, it’s not the Da Vinci code, they are the widths in pixels that many designers associate with mobile, tablet and desktop screen widths. The problem I have with this is that my mobile isn’t 320 pixels wide, my tablet isn’t 768 pixels wide and my desktop screen certainly isn’t 1024 pixels wide. What happens to all those screen sizes in between? I have seen many sites that use these three breakpoints for their designs and simply create 3 static layouts that centre within the nearest width. This is better than having an old fashioned, static, desktop only site as they are at least serving a one column, simplified version for mobile and a touch friendly version for tablet but then why would you alienate all other screen sizes by not taking them into consideration? Sure the design will still work on the other sizes but what happens when you have a tablet that is smaller than 768? It’s about percentages not pixels Content is king

Ten Things To Think About When Designing Your iPad App Advertisement Like most well-designed things, the magic of an iPad app comes from a union of usefulness, usability and meaning. Games aside, the app must be useful by solving a problem that people actually have through the right set of functionality at the right time. It must be easy to use and, just as importantly, easy to get started using, without a lot of pesky setup and learning steps. We’ve excluded tips that have already been mentioned in every single iPad design article ever written (such as, “Invite users to touch by presenting real-world metaphors in a skeuomorphic interface” —look it up!). Take A Goal-Oriented Approach To Simplify Functionality. Good iPad apps are about simplicity and doing a few things well. For example, Epicurious does an excellent job of giving the multi-tasking cook exactly what they need. Epicurious provides a clean interface for recipes, with an orange marker to keep your place. Whole Foods should enhance its app by merging duplicate list items. What Else?
