What are UI Elements

UI Elements are the individual components that make up a user interface. They are the building blocks used to create interactive experiences, enable user actions, and display information in digital products.

Common UI Elements

Key components include:

  • Input Controls: Buttons, text fields, checkboxes, dropdown menus
  • Navigation Components: Menus, breadcrumbs, search bars
  • Informational Components: Tooltips, icons, progress bars
  • Containers: Cards, accordions, modal windows

How to use UI Elements

Implement elements by following established design patterns, maintaining consistency across the interface, ensuring accessibility, and considering user expectations. Each element should serve a clear purpose and follow platform conventions.

Best Practices for UI Elements

Design elements with clear affordances, provide appropriate feedback, maintain visual hierarchy, and ensure responsive behavior. Focus on creating intuitive, consistent experiences that guide users through their tasks.
