A developer must follow strict design rules to prevent 'bloat' in user interfaces.
These rules cover text size, spacing, color contrast, and element sizing. Following these rules ensures a clean, fast, and accessible user experience.
A developer must use plain language and avoid technical jargon. This applies to all communication and code comments. The developer must protect user data and intellectual property. This means using paid API environments and handling errors carefully. The developer must follow strict rules for text color contrast. All text on a light background must be dark. All text on a dark background must be white or very light. There are no exceptions to these contrast rules. The developer must follow maximum limits for font sizes. This includes headings, body text, and buttons. The developer must also follow maximum limits for spacing between elements. This includes padding and gaps. The developer must follow maximum limits for line height. This applies to headings, body text, and user interface elements. The developer must also follow maximum limits for icon sizes. The developer must follow minimum sizes for accessibility. This includes body text, touch targets, line height, and color contrast ratios. All interactive screens must fit on a standard laptop without scrolling.
A developer is building a new feature. The AI model suggests large font sizes and wide spacing. The developer remembers the rules for maximum font sizes and spacing. The developer adjusts the design to use smaller fonts and tighter spacing. This prevents the interface from looking cluttered and ensures it fits on smaller screens.

A developer must design carousels with fixed sizes. The longest content slide sets the total height.
A developer must make sure the main image, title, subtitle, and call to action are all seen in the first view. This is true for all screen sizes.
The first view of any landing page must include four key parts. These are the main image or illustration, called the hero image.
When a user taps a menu item, the menu must close right away. This happens before the page moves or loads.
