Research-backed principles from leading institutions, organized into a systematic methodology for predictable design outcomes
Drawing from peer-reviewed studies, industry best practices, and validated research from Nielsen Norman Group, MIT, Google, and other leading institutions. Every principle is backed by academic citations and real-world validation — not testimonials or endorsements.

Systematic UX/UI principles transform daily challenges into confident decisions
From Subjective to Scientific
Design decisions become popularity contests. 'I don't like the blue' replaces user-centered rationale.
I chose this blue for WCAG accessibility contrast. Button sizes follow Fitts' Law. Layout uses Progressive Disclosure to manage cognitive load.
From Features to Outcomes
Feature-packed updates that reduce engagement. Roadmaps based on requests, not user needs.
This feature adds complexity without value. Let's use Progressive Disclosure and Loss Aversion principles.
From Guesswork to Guidelines
Users struggle with interfaces that look right but work wrong. Implementation without user psychology understanding.
Does this follow cognitive load principles? Are ARIA patterns correct? Will this animation cause vestibular issues?
From Opinions to Evidence
Interface decisions by committee and personal preference while users struggle.
We're replacing opinions with cognitive psychology evidence. We need to design with human nature, not against it.
Six progressive categories that transform how you approach every interface decision
27 Principles • 2 Chapters
7 free principles give you an overview. 100+ principles provide systematic mastery for every interface challenge you'll encounter.
Every principle in this library is backed by peer-reviewed research. Reference Miller's Law when limiting menu items, or cite Hick's Law when simplifying choice architecture.
Apply Nielsen's heuristics to evaluate interface effectiveness. Use consistency principles to reduce learning curves and create intuitive navigation patterns.
WCAG guidelines ensure your interfaces work for all users. Proper contrast ratios, keyboard navigation, and screen reader support are non-negotiable standards.
Voice UI requires conversation design patterns. AR/VR needs spatial UX considerations. AI interfaces demand transparency and user control principles.
Every principle in this library is backed by peer-reviewed research. Reference Miller's Law when limiting menu items, or cite Hick's Law when simplifying choice architecture.

Everything you need to know about the UX/UI principles framework
Every principle is backed by academic research and real-world validation from industry leaders. We provide research citations, implementation examples, and role-specific guidance (Designer, Developer, Product Manager) — not just theory. Our systematic 6-part framework takes you from cognitive foundations to AI-integrated design.
UX/UI designers seeking evidence-based methodology, developers building user interfaces, product managers making design decisions, and anyone transitioning into UX/UI roles. Whether you're a beginner learning foundations or an expert exploring specialized domains, the progressive structure adapts to your level.
112 principles across 6 progressive learning parts: Foundations (cognitive psychology), Core Principles (design fundamentals), Design Systems (systematic usability), Interface Patterns (practical application), Specialized Domains (emerging technology), and Human-Centered Excellence (ethics and accessibility). Each principle includes research, examples, and implementation guidance.
6 complete principles (1 per part), framework overview, implementation examples from real interfaces, and community access. This gives you a comprehensive introduction to the methodology and systematic approach. Paid tiers unlock all 112 principles, AI assistant, and advanced features.
Absolutely. The evidence-based approach transforms design discussions from opinion to methodology. Many teams use the principles as a shared vocabulary for design critiques, onboarding new members, and aligning cross-functional collaboration. Contact us for team licensing options.
Professional tier members receive monthly content updates with new research, emerging patterns, and industry case studies. The core principles remain stable (grounded in cognitive science), while modern examples and specialized domains evolve with technology trends.
