Wireframing is an essential step in the initial stages of a UI project, allowing you to define the information hierarchy of your mobile app or web design project and plan for functionality and user flow. By stripping away non-essential design elements, wireframes help to communicate the layout effectively.

Whether you use a whiteboard, pencil and paper, web-based tools, or UI design applications, effective wireframing and planning play a crucial role in the success of your product.

In addition to the many readily available wireframing tools, there are free wireframing templates available for UI applications like Photoshop, Illustrator, Figma, and Sketch.

We’ve curated a collection of free wireframing templates to make your job easier. These templates are customizable to fit your specific project requirements, allowing you to streamline the wireframing process and focus on defining the layout and functionality of your mobile app or web design project.

The 10 Most Popular Open Source Front-End Web UI Kits https://speckyboy.com/open-source-front-end-ui-kits/ https://speckyboy.com/open-source-front-end-ui-kits/#comments Fri, 06 Sep 2024 10:27:33 +0000 https://speckyboy.com/?p=97453 You can save loads of development time by working with frontend UI kits. To help, we have curated the best open source UI frameworks available.

The post The 10 Most Popular Open Source Front-End Web UI Kits appeared first on Speckyboy Design Magazine.

]]>
You can save loads of development time by working with frontend UI kits. The most popular is Bootstrap although far too many homogeneous sites rely on that framework.

To give you some variety I’ve curated my pick of the best newer open source UI frameworks out there.

These all have their own unique styles and varying levels of support for dynamic components. But if you pair these frameworks with some JavaScript plugins you can build pretty much anything.

You might also like our collection of lightweight & responsive CSS Frameworks.

1. UIKit

ui kit framework

The UIKit framework is lightweight, easy to customize, and easy to append. It’s follows a modular structure where you’ll build page elements with reusable classes.

It’s perfect for structuring a new page without having to code your own grid or roll your own font stacks. This framework even comes with a unique icon set you can add into your page using a web font.

With UIKit you can run Sass or Less along with any package manager(usually npm).

Plus with a huge list of components you can embed anything from upload fields to breadcrumbs and so much more.

2. Foundation

zurb foundation

Zurb’s Foundation library is right up there with Bootstrap. But it seems like Foundation gets less attention due to its less-stylized interface.

With Foundation you have access to custom interface elements, components, and a default grid. Everything you need to build a kick-ass frontend can be found in the Foundation library.

Take a peek at their showcase page if you want to learn more. It features a bunch of huge sites running Foundation with custom grids, responsive features, basically, everything you need in a new web project.

3. Milligram

milligram css

For a minimalist approach to frontend development check out Milligram. This open source CSS library is super small and comes with a bunch of really simple interface features.

It works through Bower, Yarn, and npm so this can fit into any package management workflow.

Only trouble is that Milligram requires the Normalize library, so you do have to add that to your page. But if you have a CSS minifying tool you can easily combine the two libraries together and reduce your HTTP requests.

4. One-Nexus

one-nexus framework

The One-Nexus framework is massive. It supports responsive design & touch devices, runs on Sass, and works with automated build tools. However, I do think this is one of the more complex frameworks to start with.

If you’re already familiar with frameworks and the command line then One-Nexus is truly awesome. It has so many modules it’ll make your head spin!

But it may take some time getting used to the setup & getting your initial layout configured just right.

5. Semantic UI

semantic ui framework

If you’re looking for a tested framework then check out Semantic UI. This is a beautiful frontend library currently in v2.2 with tons of features.

I consider Semantic like the unknown Bootstrap for frontend development. It’s not as popular with mainstream coders, but it has all the same benefits as Bootstrap.

The Semantic library includes buttons, tabs, dropdowns, everything you’d need. Plus is offers simple debugging and a bunch of awesome themes so you can customize your layout from the get-go.

6. Pure CSS

pure css framework

I’ve used Pure CSS on a few small projects and really enjoy it. This is one of the coolest frameworks because it lets you customize your files to include whichever features you need.

You’ll find more info on the getting started page which includes download links plus some setup guides.

Note that Pure’s aesthetics feel very minimalist, but not too simple. They mimic a little bit of Bootstrap along with some pointers from Google’s material design. A fun library to use for any project both personal and commercial.

7. Ink Interface Kit

ink ui kit framework

With the Ink Interface Kit you can build some incredible responsive pages. They’ll look simple and follow a very simple code format, but that’s usually what you want in a frontend framework.

Ink even comes with its own JS library that you can run on top of vanilla JS. It’ll take some adjusting if you’ve never used Ink before. However, it’s a vast library comparable to jQuery in syntax.

This runs on Sass, works with semantic HTML, and feels just like any great frontend framework.

8. GroundworkCSS

groundwork css framework

I’ve yet to do much testing on GroundworkCSS but this is one hefty responsive framework.

Currently in version 2.x you can download the whole Groundwork library in two styles: basic HTML/CSS/JS or in a template for Ruby on Rails.

Both work the same, and they both provide a robust frontend system for coding usable pages.

Check out their demo layout to get an idea of how this’ll look in your site.

9. Materialize.css

materialize.css homepage

Ever since Google announced their shift towards Material Design it’s become one of the biggest UI design languages. And while it was originally built for Android, it found its way onto the web with many frameworks like Materialize cloning the style.

The entire framework runs as you’d expect: fully responsive, standards compliant, and supports custom resets for all browsers.

Only difference is that your default elements take on the material design style.

And while this is probably my favorite material framework available, you can browse through others to see what else catches your eye.

10. Topcoat

topcoat framework

When it comes to performance you can’t overlook the quality of your code. Topcoat takes this to heart as a framework with performance in mind.

It’s fully themeable and super easy to customize with easy-to-read HTML and CSS. Any edits you make will follow a clear structure with BEM naming conventions for CSS.

The real benefit with Topcoat is the load testing and focus on performance. Anyone who needs a custom layout that loads fast should look into Topcoat.

11. Petal

petal css framework

Petal is one of the newest CSS frameworks on the market. Again it’s fully responsive, 100% open source, and can hold up to any of other major framework in this list.

But it is pretty small and meant to stay that way. It’s based on the Less CSS preprocessor and does require Normalize too.

Ultimately this is a super small framework that should appeal to Less CSS devs. You can take a look at the online docs for code snippets and live examples of page elements too.

The post Should You Wireframe a UI or Not? appeared first on Speckyboy Design Magazine.

There are many ways to improve your efficiency when working in any media based industry. One of the simplest and most effective ways I’ve found is to “draw your map”. Drawing your map is essentially the process of taking your task at hand, and mocking it up into a visual form.

This can be anything as simple as writing down words with arrows and create a visual workflow, to creating a series of thumbnails or storyboards to show the progression of an idea. When relating this to web design, developers will often use a method known as wireframing.

If you don’t know what a wireframe is, it’s basically a generalized mockup representing the layout of a website. There are some wireframe templates here. There are no definitive rules for this process, and that is why it is so effective and adaptable.

Some people will make quick paper sketches of simple shapes and scribbles for text to show elements and their general orientation to each other. Others prefer to create digital wireframes that can be more precise and contain more detail. As long as it succeeds in creating a foundation for your mind to flow off of and reference quickly, it’s doing its job.

There is a bit of a debate on whether wireframing is worth your time or not. As you have likely gathered from my previous statements, I find wireframing to be very much worth the time. That being said, there are a few things that should be considered and taken into account that make wireframing worth the effort.

Don’t be clingy, keep an opened mind

Some designers dislike wireframing because they feel it limits creativity and creates boundaries. You may put a lot of heart, thought, and time into the initial wireframe and don’t want your time to be wasted, and thus push the final design in a direction that works with your original concept.

To avoid this passive mental crutch, you need to create a separation between wireframe and final design. Know the wireframe is a nothing more than a reference point, and if you come up with a design that better suits the user experience, or will in anyway alter the site for the better, don’t be resistant to change. Your best idea is seldom your first.

Gauge your time

The overall purpose of a wireframe is to save time in the long run. There is nothing more frustrating than being happy with a final design, and then finding out you forgot to account for an extra set of text or a specific call to action. You then have to push things around, or redesign elements to accommodate. This is your chance to give yourself a visual checklist that minimizes that additional time wasted.

The question must then be asked, how much time is acceptable to spend on this mockup phase? Well, this changes depending on your situation and preference. If you are making a site for a client and have a very small time budget, you probably don’t want to spend more than 10-15 minutes so you have more time allotted to the more detailed art and design.

If you have more of a flexible timeframe or it is a personal project, it may be beneficial to flesh out your ideas a little more and even mockup multiple wireframes. Overall, this is something you will have to weigh for yourself on a case by case basis and find what suits your best interests.

Find your own flow

Like anything else you do on a regular basis, as you make a habit of wireframing, you will become better at it. The key to improving the efficiency and effectiveness of this process is for it to feel so second nature you start establishing a system that works. Maybe it is using a consistent naming convention for large amounts of labeling, or the use of quick symbols to represent elements that are unique but consistently used. My point is, do not be discouraged if you feel you are not fast enough. You can only get better, and will.

Simple pixel perfect browser frame for presenting your prototypes and portfolio works to clients

After getting used to this pre-planning mindset, you will likely start to connect the dots on ways “Drawing your map” can be applied to other aspects of your work. Using myself as an example, I am both a designer and front-end developer. Starting out skinning, with my first few websites I began to realize the majority of my time was wasted on backtracking due to something that initially seemed simple, but ended up using a CSS trick, and altered HTML.

Since then, whether it is for my own design or someone else’s, I always start by making a wireframe of my skinning process. Rather than overall design elements, I lay out my div structure, markup my common classes, and jot CSS notes for dimensions, main colors, or positioning.

This easily cuts my skinning time by a quarter or more, depending on the complexity of the site. I’ve gotten to the point where I can code out the HTML and CSS and have the skin 80% finished and flawless the first time I load it up in a browser. It took time to nail my system, and I keep adapting it, but you can apply the same concept to anything you do. You are your most valuable asset, make yourself evolve.

Your mind is a terrible thing to waste

Employers love to see your thought process and how you handle the entirety of a project. No matter if you are fresh out of college or just looking to upgrade your current career status, wireframes can be a great tool to have in your back pocket. It sends a really strong message when you can go into an interview with a few wireframes, a couple of digital designs mocks, and a final product.

Doing this, you can walk through the mentality behind one or two of your best pieces of work, rather than pulling up your two best sites and a few better than average ones in a browser. This plays on the simple principle of quality over quantity. If you explain the way you work, it separates the thinkers, from the drones.

With this idea in mind, be sure to save your wireframes and various design compositions, even if your final design ended up nothing like your original wireframe. Approaching projects with this kind of mentality, gives even more justification to wireframing. Now not only are you mocking up your thoughts for the immediate task at hand, but also making a personal investment that you can later utilize to market yourself and display how you can work a project in full, from start to finish.

This mindset also works off of the first two issues I brought up. If you feel that diverging from your original wireframe makes your original time and effort wasted, you are sadly mistaken. When referring to a portfolio, this simply shows that you are willing and able to adapt your own creativity. It also shows that you can prioritize the website’s quality over your own sense of perfection to ultimately produce the best possible end product.

Concluding

Overall, it does not really matter what I or anyone else tells you, the decision to wireframe is yours alone. Most designers tend to be very “right-brained”, so mapping out your ideas in a visual fashion will make it easier to channel your thoughts.

However, if you tend to be more calculating and work best from memory and written words, perhaps this would be more cumbersome than what you feel it is worth. If nothing else, I hope you can take away a different sense of what wireframing can be. A tool, that if properly used, can increase efficiency, make you a psychologically better designer, and assist in marketing yourself in the years to come.
