UI design (user interface design)
UI design — user interface design — covers how a website or application looks and responds: layout grids, typography, colours, icons, buttons, forms and the states of every element (hover, focus, pressed, disabled, error, loading).

Explained
What good UI does
- Makes structure visible: users see what is important, what is clickable and where they are.
- Creates consistency: the same components behave the same way everywhere.
- Supports the brand: the look reflects the company's identity.
- Remains accessible: sufficient contrast, readable sizes, keyboard and screen reader support.
UI and UX
UX design decides what the product does and how tasks flow; UI design decides how that flow looks and feels. Good UI on top of a confusing flow still fails; a clear flow with poor UI feels untrustworthy. They are designed together, with structure first.
Design systems
For larger products, UI is organised into a design system: a library of components, styles and rules. It keeps new pages consistent and speeds up design and development.
Multilingual interfaces
Interfaces in Azerbaijani, Russian and English must accommodate different text lengths and characters. Buttons, menus and labels should be tested with the longest language and with fonts that support all Azerbaijani letters.
