About Laws of UX
Laws of UX is a reference site that lists principles for designing user interfaces. Each entry is a short definition that designers can apply when they make decisions about layout, choices and feedback.
What it does
The site lists principles such as Fitts's Law, Hick's Law and Jakob's Law, with a short explanation for each. The entries are brief, so a designer can scan the list during a design review. Articles and a large format index poster add more context to the entries.
Key features
- Short definitions of named UX principles
- Covers laws such as Hick's and Fitts's
- Index poster and card sets in the store
- Dark mode and an English language option
- Recently added entries such as Selective Attention
Who it's for
UX and product designers who want a quick checklist of principles, and developers who build interfaces and need shared vocabulary for design choices. Students of interaction design will find it a useful starting point.
Pricing and good to know
Browsing the entries is free, and a store sells posters and card sets. The principles are guidelines rather than strict rules, so test them with real users before relying on one.
