Design principles

A design principle is a kind of core value for how a product or service should be designed. The principles are generally held and can be applied to an organization's all products and services. Design principles are indicative and more general than a guideline, which is more detailed about how something should be designed.

The principles are a great help to designers and developers and others in the organization as they guide the work and set the tone for the product or service.

Our design principles for the QReg5 platform go hand in hand with UCR's guiding stars, above all they clarify what the guiding star 'good user experience' means, and contributes to achieving these goals.

Our design principles

Clarity

What is presented in the system is unequivocal. The user can act confidently on the information displayed.

Particularly relevant for grouping information on the screen, descriptive texts, color choices, etc.

Efficiency

The quality registry must be an effective tool in the user's work. Smart design of pages optimizes the workflow for the user.

Applied to menu design, pages, navigation, data entry.

Consistency

With consistent solutions and design patterns, users know where they are in different parts of the quality registry and between different registers.

Consistent design allows the user to concentrate on their task instead of putting the energy into trying to understand the system. Also facilitates development and management to a great extent.

Beauty

With elegant and well-thought-out design, we show respect for the user and their time and attention.

The quality registry is only a small part of the user's working day. A well-designed and aesthetically pleasing quality registry makes this part more valuable.
