UI Kits make

your life easier

A user interface (UI) kit is a collection of visual elements, patterns and components that can help designers with the task of building UIs for their applications.

  • standardized interface / design consistency 
  • improve workflow (easier to change)
  • improve time efficiency
  • don't restrict creativity
  • platform related patterns
  • don't reinvent the wheel, learn from it

UI kits typically include those components that convey meaning and provide functionality to users – think buttons, widgets, checkboxes, progress bars, and navigation buttons.
