Follow the contrast rule
If you are using colors in your application, you need to ensure that text on your panels is clearly readable. You need to follow the ‘Contrast Rule’ while choosing color schemes. Use dark color text on light backgrounds and light color text on dark backgrounds. Reading blue text on white background is easy as compared to red background.
Easy navigation between screens
Easy switching from one screen to another within a mobile app is necessary to avoid losing visitors. Design a simple navigation pattern and place it on top and left of a page. If logo appears on every screen, link it to the home page. People tend to read in left to right and top to bottom direction. Thus, it is advised to organize elements in this manner. User interface flow diagrams can be developed to further understand the flow during designing phase.
Understand the ‘UI’ widgets
Suitable widget should be used for the right task to further increase consistency within your application. In order to learn how to use widgets, you need to read and understand the user-interface standards and guidelines an organization has adopted.
Explain the rules
Your app users need to understand the direction of flow of work within the application. If it works consistently, it means you need to explain the rules only once. This is a lot easier approach than explaining step-by-step working of each feature.
Align fields effectively
You need to organize fields on a single screen in a way that is both appealing and efficient. The best way to do so is to select ‘Justify’ setting. You should left justify edit fields and its corresponding labels should be right justified and placed along the field. This is a clean and mannered way to organize the fields on a screen.
Use suitable fonts
Use fonts that are easier to read from a distance such as Times Roman,Serif fonts etc. Font style should be readable and font size should be hierarchical i.e. large for heading, small for sub headings and extra small for content text. In addition, use font consistently across whole screen to ensure an appealing design.
