Here’s a concise cheat‑sheet of GUI (Graphical User Interface) best practices that work well for web, desktop, and mobile applications.

---

1. Consistency & Standards

• Visual language – reuse colors, typography, icons, and spacing across screens.
• Interaction patterns – stick to platform conventions (e.g., hamburger menu on mobile, hover effects on desktop).
• Terminology – use the same wording for the same actions (e.g., “Save” vs. “Submit”).

2. Simplicity & Clarity

• Focus on primary tasks – hide secondary options behind menus, accordions, or progressive disclosure.
• Limit choices – 5‑7 options per screen is a good rule of thumb (Hick’s Law).
• Clear labels – avoid jargon; make button text action‑oriented (“Add Contact”, not “Submit”).

3. Feedback & Affordance

• Immediate response – show visual (spinner, button state) or auditory cues within ≈ 100 ms.
• State indication – disabled, hovered, pressed, loading, error, success
