What is a design pattern?
A design pattern is an agreed-upon guide for creating buttons, scroll bars, forms, and other user interface elements. A design pattern also outlines best practices for interactive elements such as dropdown menus and sorting tools.
Why use patterns?
Patterns are important to building coherent and easy-to-use websites and applications. And they provide a common language and concrete reference for collaboration across all roles on the product team.
Patterns are captured in articles that dictate visual design, spatial relationships, placements, and interactions, using text, screenshots, diagrams and examples.
