Tips for designing a beautiful app

Keep it simple

Unlike websites, where each page often includes elements like hero sections, sidebars, and related content, mobile apps open every link in a dedicated details screen designed specifically for that content. Show only the details — skip the surrounding content you’d normally include on a webpage.

One screen, one purpose

Websites often have a homepage and many URLs to serve SEO purposes, but apps should only include the screens that matter to the user. Each screen should serve a single, clear purpose.

For example, instead of showing a generic “Home” screen, design dedicated screens for specific actions: Search Products, Cart, Account, Menu, Chat, Notifications, and so on.
