MailChimp: UX Patterns

#DesignSystems #Productivity #patterns #UX

The MailChimp Pattern Library is a byproduct of our move to a more responsive, nimble, & intuitive app.

Over the course of two full redesigns and our recent navigation refresh, we've worked to distill most of the MailChimp interface into a set of atomic pieces, forming the pattern library you see here. By documenting and assembling a reference site of our patterns, we were able to speed up our process and solve some internal communication problems. A common lexicon of code and UI elements benefits us in a few ways:

  • We can build consistently, focusing our energy on workflows and logic, not web forms and list items.
  • We can reuse code instead of reinventing the wheel or roping in an engineer.
  • We can see all of our patterns in one place, quickly revealing maintenance issues.

6 Animation Guidelines for UX Design

#animation #motion #interactiondesign #UX

Animation can be used to tweak the user’s perception of time, so use this in your favour. For the human brain, anything below 0.1 seconds will seem instantaneous and below 1 second will seem seamless. So, if you have a process that takes 6 seconds for instance, you can break it down in a few separate animations. This trick should make the process feel a lot faster and keep your user engaged.

You can also use animation to fake an instant action that will actually take bit longer in the background. This will make the app feel more responsive even though the process still takes longer than what the user sees.
