Modular Web Design: Creating Reusable Components for User Experience Design: Voices That Matter

Autor Nathan Curtis
en Limba Engleză Paperback – iun 2009
A complete guide to understanding, developing, and
maintaining component-based designs for the Web
° Teaches UX practitioners ways to incorporate component structures into their designs,
preventing wasted time and investment
° Effectively communicates component design approaches for larger organizations
° Enables individuals to adopt a component-based approach to Web design
Summary
User experience design teams often suffer from a decentralized, blank canvas
approach to creating and documenting a design solution for each new project.
As teams repeatedly reinvent screen designs, inconsistency results, and IT
teams scramble to pick up the pieces. Pattern libraries only go so far, suggesting
general solutions to common problems instead of offering concrete, specific
design treatments. At times, documented solutions turn into a costly mess of
unclear expectations, unrealistic goals, and abandoned work.
Enter components, each of which represents a chunk of a Web page. Designers
can produce wireframes, mockups, or markup far more efficiently reusing
components based on an established design system. Rather than limit
innovation, components enable designers to render solved design frameworks
quickly and to focus on the problem at hand, drastically improving the quality
and rate of production. In addition, teams develop a deeper baseline for
collaboration, a platform for governance, and a structure for useful and
predictable documentation.
This book defines the role of components and why they matter, maps out how
to organize and build a component library, discusses how to use components in
practice, and teaches a process for documenting and maintaining components.

Descriere

User experience design teams often suffer from a decentralized, blank canvas approach to creating and documenting a design solution for each new project. As teams repeatedly reinvent screen designs, inconsistency results, and IT teams scramble to pick up the pieces. Pattern libraries only go so far, suggesting general solutions to common problems instead of offering concrete, specific design treatments. At times, documented solutions turn into a costly mess of unclear expectations, unrealistic goals, and abandoned work.

Enter components, each of which represents a chunk of a Web page. Designers can produce wireframes, mockups, or markup far more efficiently reusing components based on an established design system. Rather than limit innovation, components enable designers to render solved design frameworks quickly and to focus on the problem at hand, drastically improving the quality and rate of production. In addition, teams develop a deeper baseline for collaboration, a platform for governance, and a structure for useful and predictable documentation.
 
This book defines the role of components and why they matter, maps out how to organize and build a component library, discusses how to use components in practice, and teaches a process for documenting and maintaining components.
