Every designer has a different approach when it comes to delivering quality design. It’s best to have design criteria or like a checklist for delivering better products or services. A UI checklist covers diverse topics that all of your team members will appreciate. Let’s take a look at some of the checklist points in terms of UI.

Visual 

• Are you using brand colors exclusively?
• Does your relative spacing match the relative spacing of similar UI elements?
• Are you using the right shadow criteria?

Consistency 

• Do interactions, icons that perform the same actions as others that already exist in the site or app?
• Are you using the appropriate sizes and elements for desktop vs. mobile web vs. an app?
• Are you using existing elements/components where appropriate?
• Is your icon placement relative to text appropriate?

Interaction 

• Are animation curves and durations to enter, exit, and state change defined?
• Are all states accounted for?

Typography 

• Are you using heading, body, and helper copy styles correctly?
• Are you using the right colors for the type style that you have chosen?

Hierarchy

• Do the most important UI elements take priority?
• Are you using the correct type of elements to communicate hierarchy?

Cases

• What happens to text when it gets too long? (e.g. truncation, wrapping, etc)
• Are all empty, error, and loading states accounted for?
