  • UI/UX design tips you can implement today to radically improve your user experience and user interfaces.
    Here's a collection of 13 UI/UX design tips that I use in almost all of my design work to help create a fantastic user experience for site visitors.
    Start using these UI/UX design tips in your workflow today and benefit from more professional designs every single time.
    - Don’t use Pure Black
    - Limit fonts used to 2 (varying weights is fine)
    - Use consistent font weights
    - Consistent font sizes
    - Left-aligned text (larger blocks of text)
    - Using whitespace to allow for the design to breath
    - Consistent spacing
    - Using the 8 point grid system
    - Use visual hierarchy
    - Use contrast to your advantage
    - 60/30/10 colour rule
    - Use optimal line height - recommended 1.5x font size by WCAG
    - Pattern repetition - Be consistent in your design

    Hi Paul!
    Your style of explaining things is undoubtedly one of the best to be found here on UA-cam. Part of the reason I'm particularly excited about your announcements of new videos regarding GeneratePress/GenerateBlocks and UX/UI.
    I've been writing websites for twenty years and (very!) much of what you say in your videos I can agree with a 100%. I hope to see many more of your videos.

      The 8-Point Grid is a great way to easily scale your design and create a sense of design consistency. Combine it with EMS or REMS and you can scale so easily, it's crazy. :)

    Hey could you do a UA-cam video on how to come up with great compositions and layouts to design content in UI design ? Basically on how to structure/layout content and images and elements for the design in way that beautiful and also interesting ? Like what are the best spots on a page to place content past the hero section ? How to compose and structure content in a way that's pleasing to the eye and still functional and easy for the user?
