Design your way

Thursday, August 1, 2013

Every front-end developer or designer creating huge amounts of code to make UI kits realizes the process can quickly become unmanageable and complex. Developing creative design elements including visual controls, sliders, icons and buttons can create wasted hours of time to get each one right.

UI kits are really useful for designers especially for those who have a massive volume of work to do. Using UI kits is perceived as controversial by some designers who value originality, but the truth is that UI kits can improve your workflow by getting more from working less.

There is, however, an easy solution. The people at PixelKit.com are offering a simple solution through a quality designed PixelKit UI kit. This phenomenal library is filled with professional-style UI kits along with other resources ideal for the developer.

UI kits are offering solutions to a lot of common problems that you encounter while designing a layout, like call to action buttons, icons, various boxes, lists, navigation etc.

Additional to being the simple solution to the complicated problem, UI kits also save you a lot of time. Imagine yourself doing your client work in half the time that you were doing it before. That would mean that you can double the work and also double your monthly paycheck.

PixelKit offers a subscription-based solution that provides complete unlimited access to the entire UI Kits library, at only $39 for 12 full months. This includes every future release. How does it get any better than that?

These are helpful not only to designers who want to create a layout faster and easier, but also to developers. Most developers don’t know how to work in Photoshop and create themselves various elements, but with UI kits they can just export the elements that they need and start coding.
