# Do: UX/UI Best Practices The following best practices help ensure a **consistent, usable, and maintainable UX/UI** when designing pages and forms using ONEWEB UI and Page Designer tools. *** #### Provide a Consistent Experience Across Devices Users may access your application from desktops, laptops, tablets, or mobile devices.\ A key UX principle is ensuring that users receive a **similar experience regardless of the device** they are using. Design your pages so that: * Core functionality is accessible on all screen sizes * Layouts adapt gracefully without hiding essential content * Navigation and interactions remain predictable A seamless multi‑device experience increases usability and user confidence. *** #### Use Clear and Intuitive Navigation Users interact with your application to **find information or complete tasks quickly**.\ Navigation should guide users naturally to their destination with minimal effort. Good navigation design: * Is easy to recognize and easy to scan * Uses clear labels and logical grouping * Minimizes the number of clicks required to reach key content Well‑designed navigation reduces confusion and improves task efficiency. *** #### Make the Most Important Content the Visual Focus Users tend to **scan screens rather than read them line by line**.\ Effective UX/UI design uses **visual hierarchy** to guide user attention. Ensure that: * Page titles, primary actions, and key content stand out * Important elements are visible without excessive scrolling * Secondary information does not compete for attention A strong focal point helps users understand what to do next at a glance. *** #### Ensure All Links and Buttons Work as Expected Nothing frustrates users more than: * Broken links * Buttons that look clickable but are not * Actions that lead to unexpected results Best practices include: * Ensuring every link navigates to its intended destination * Making clickable elements visually distinct * Avoiding decorative elements that resemble interactive controls Reliable interactions build trust and reduce user frustration. *** #### Let Users Control Their Experience Avoid design choices that **take control away from users**, such as: * Auto‑playing videos * Forced navigation or scrolling * Unexpected UI behavior Instead: * Allow users to choose when and how to interact * Respect user pacing and focus * Keep interactions predictable and reversible User‑controlled experiences feel more natural and less intrusive. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
