Modular Design Frameworks: A Projects-based Guide for UI/UX Designers
Learn the basic principles of modular design, and then put them into action to create sites that are easy to use, look great, and can be adapted within the context of your business needs.
With author James Cabrera--one of the thought leaders in the modular-design movement--you'll create a single, scalable project for a sample nameplate site and then adapt that same project to work successfully as a portfolio site, an e-commerce site, and finally as a news/publishing content site. Along the way, you'll learn the scientific approach to devising a sound and scalable design strategy, followed by establishing a basic foundation using various criteria relevant to that type of site. As each chapter progresses, you'll add new concepts appropriate for the project type.
Modular web and app design isn't just for so-called "creatives." It's a teachable science with principles that can be replicated in a creative manner. This approach makes the design decision making process for businesses much easier (and easier to live with). And modular design is a powerful tool for software designers to replicate effective successful designs across a spectrum of needs.
What You'll Learn
Examine the design process in a modular way
Adapt your HTML code to create different types of applications
Establish your own modular framework for your specific site's goals

Who This Book Is For

After reading it, I still don't know what is this book about.

There were some helpful things that I can take away from this book, but mostly it was summarizations, generalizations and repeating of the same thing, which made me wonder why I needed to read a 100 pages book, when it could easily be only 50...
