A 4-step framework for crafting meaningful designs

There's a proven design process that keeps things smooth and helps you nail it every time. It's like a recipe with four steps to make your work better.

1. Content — What information and messages need to be conveyed? This step involves content strategy and planning.

2. Structure — How will the content be organized and grouped? We focus on information architecture and navigation design.

3. Layout — Where will each piece of content be placed? We explore the page layout and composition.

4. Style — Which visual design elements like colors, typography, and images will be used? We refine the look and feel.

Each completed step is already a success and a result. You won't have to jump straight to choosing colors and understanding how to make the text on cards to what the main visualization of the app should be. You move right on to completion.

Whether you're working on a website, a dashboard, or a mobile app, this framework focuses on defining the content and organizing it into a sensible structure before designing the layout and creating style.
