Easy access to often used UI elements
“It has long been common practice to use recurring solutions to solve common problems.” That’s the opening statement at UI-patterns.com, a growing collection of common practice web design techniques. The site not only provides a list of everything from “Inline Help Box” to “Continuous Scrolling,” but it provides detailed information about the reasoning and practical application of each process.
Perhaps one of the best reasons to bookmark the site is that it simply categorizes each technique based on its main function. So, if you’re looking for an intuitive way to “deal with data” or “get input from users” in that next big project, you’re golden.
