Design Framework

• All UI components must use Material 3 as the design foundation.
• Adaptive widgets should be used whenever available to ensure consistency across platforms (Android, iOS, Web).
• Follow Material 3 guidelines for color schemes, typography, and component behavior.

Layout and Responsiveness

• Interfaces must be responsive and adapt to different screen sizes and orientations.
• Use adaptive navigation patterns (e.g., navigation drawer on mobile, navigation rail on tablets).
• Ensure accessibility by supporting large text sizes and screen readers.

Navigation

• Maintain a clear and predictable navigation flow.
• Use consistent icons and labels across all modules.
• Provide back navigation that respects platform conventions.

Performance and Feedback

• UI interactions must be smooth, with minimal latency.
• Provide visual or haptic feedback for user actions (e.g., button presses, data saves).
• Show loading indicators when fetching or saving data.

Internationalization

• All text must support localization.
• Avoid hard‑coded strings; use resource files for translations.
• Ensure layouts adapt to different text lengths and directions (LTR/RTL).

Data Entry and Forms

• Use adaptive input widgets (date pickers, dropdowns, sliders) according to Material 3 standards.
• Validate inputs with clear error messages.
• Minimize typing by offering selection lists, toggles, or presets whenever possible.

Accessibility

• Follow WCAG 2.1 guidelines for contrast, text size, and focus order.
• Ensure all interactive elements are reachable via keyboard or screen reader.
• Provide descriptive labels for icons and images.

Consistency

• Maintain consistent spacing, padding, and alignment across screens.
• Use a design system with reusable components to reduce duplication.
• Ensure that updates to UI elements propagate consistently across the app.
