🤔What does consistency in UI design exactly mean?

Consistency in UI/UX design refers to a sense of uniformity in the elements used, which helps the user associate and develop a sense of relatability with the brand even when used across different platforms.

📝How to familiarize yourself with good UI/UX designs

Understand the user expectations.
A UI/UX designer must keep in mind what the customer expects to accomplish out of the application/interface.
It is ultimately for the end-user that the interface is created for, so satisfying them is the most quantifiable measure of a good UI/UX design.

📲Familiarize yourself with what works

As a designer, it is not completely necessary to start from scratch each time.
Sometimes, a designer must familiarize themselves with the base pattern of what works.
Once the foundation is in place, it is often easier to build upon along with an increased chance of being accepted owing to the past record.

📕Maintain brand guidelines

Pay extra attention to keeping the brand elements uniform throughout the interface, across all platforms.
Uniformity in brand elements helps establish a brand image and relatability with the customer.

😎Keep it simple and efficient

The primary purpose of a UI/UX design is to help the user navigate through the interface with ease.
Keeping the design simple, consistent and navigable for the user will ensure a good UI/UX design.

Follow these steps in every project and you will be able to create stunningly looking and consistent user interfaces!
