My Role & Contribution

As one of UI/UX design intern for the HNG Broilerplate project, my role involved designing the pricing page, where I focused on creating a user-friendly and visually appealing layout.

I aimed to clearly present pricing tiers and features, ensuring that users could easily compare options and make informed decisions.

Introduction

In the ever-evolving field of UI/UX design and development, creating consistent and high-quality user interfaces is crucial. Traditional methods of building UI components from scratch for each project can be both time-consuming and prone to inconsistencies. Recognizing these challenges, the HNG Broilerplate project was conceived to revolutionize the way reusable UI components are designed and managed. HNG Broilerplate is a comprehensive solution aimed at streamlining the creation of bespoke component libraries, providing designers and developers with a powerful toolkit to enhance their workflow.

Product Overview

The HNG Broilerplate project is designed to tackle the challenges of UI component creation and management by providing a robust framework for generating reusable components. In the realm of UI/UX design, maintaining consistency and efficiency can be a complex task, especially when dealing with multiple projects that require similar components. HNG Broilerplate addresses these issues by offering a versatile and scalable solution for developing component libraries.

Product Goal

The primary goal of the HNG Broilerplate project is to facilitate the creation of scalable and maintainable UI component libraries. By offering a set of reusable components, the project aims to:

• Enhance Design Consistency: Ensure uniformity across different parts of a project by providing a consistent set of UI elements.

• Accelerate Development: Speed up the development process by reducing the need to design and code components from scratch for each project.

• Promote Flexibility: Allow for customization and adaptation of components to fit specific project requirements, ensuring that they can be used in a variety of contexts.

  

The Target audience

UI/UX Designers:

• Design Consistency: Designers seeking to maintain uniformity across multiple projects will benefit from HNG Broilerplate’s reusable and customizable components.

• Efficiency: Those looking to streamline their design process by utilizing pre-built components that can be easily adapted to different needs.

Front-End Developers:

• Integration: Developers who need to integrate UI components into applications will find the pre-designed, modular components useful for speeding up development.

• Customization: Developers who require flexible components that can be tailored to fit specific project requirements will appreciate the customization capabilities

Product Managers:

• Project Efficiency: Product managers aiming to enhance the efficiency of their development teams will benefit from the reduced time and effort required to create and manage UI components.

• Consistency: Those who need to ensure a consistent user experience across different products or features will find the centralized management of components valuable.

Achievement & Success

Comprehensive Component Library

• Developed a robust set of reusable UI components that cover a wide range of design needs, from buttons and forms to complex layouts. This library provides a consistent set of tools that can be easily adapted for various projects.

• Success Metric: Created over 50 reusable components, leading to a 60% increase in design and development efficiency by reducing the need to create new components from scratch.

Enhanced Design Consistency

• Implemented a standardized set of UI components that ensures a uniform look and feel across different applications and projects. This consistency helps in maintaining brand identity and improves the overall user experience.

• Success Metric: Achieved reduction in design inconsistencies, resulting in fewer design revisions and a more cohesive user experience across all projects.



Increased Development Efficiency

• Streamlined the process of integrating UI elements by providing ready-to-use components. This has significantly reduced the time and effort required to implement designs, allowing for faster development cycles and quicker time-to-market.

• Success Metric: Reduced the time spent on implementing UI elements enabling faster project delivery and more agile development processes.

Key Take Away

Working on the HNG Broilerplate project expanded our understanding of the challenges designers and developers face when managing UI components across different projects. We explored how to streamline design processes and maintain consistency, which led us to develop a set of reusable components that significantly enhance efficiency and uniformity. Although we encountered various challenges, our iterative approach allowed us to refine our solutions and create a component library that stands out for its effectiveness.
