Know the difference
Web design covers structure, content and the experience of a website. UI design focuses on interactive visual elements that communicate states and actions.
Map the user journey
Identify the person using your page, what they need and the shortest understandable route to completing a task.
Use a small design system
Set typography, spacing, colors and component rules before building many pages. Consistency reduces confusion and speeds up revisions.
Design for accessibility
Use sufficient contrast, visible focus, understandable labels and touch-friendly targets. Test without a mouse and with zoom enabled.
Prototype, validate, implement
Try wireframes and simple prototypes before high-fidelity styling; then use clean HTML and CSS to bring the best option to life.
