A repeatable system for clean layouts, motion hierarchy, and conversion-focused components.
Key Takeaways
I establish typography, color, and spacing tokens before building components. This keeps every section aligned and makes it easier to scale the design later.
With Tailwind, that usually means a small set of custom colors, font stacks, and spacing rules applied consistently across sections.
Premium UI feels calm. I lean on generous padding, consistent max-widths, and a clear hierarchy between headings and body text.
If the layout feels crowded, I remove elements until the hierarchy is obvious again.
Subtle motion directs attention. I use a small set of durations and easing curves so animations feel cohesive, not noisy.
Every animation should explain something: an element appears, a section enters, or a button reacts to intent.
