Angular Design: A Framework for Productivity

A person sits with three screens while thinking about design and code.

In digital design, there are many floating pieces that need to come together in confluence for an unforgettable user experience. Connectivity allows that nexus between all those ever-moving pieces for functionality and productivity to take hold when there is a solid framework to center its gravity. 

Angular—an open-source framework, has allowed many UX designers to develop with productivity in mind and many well-known websites have embraced it. Angular has been upgraded over the years and with every new rendition and version, new design capabilities follow suit that allow development efficiency.

Simplified Coding with Components

A prominent feature that Angular allows is the reusability of components to help streamline the need for heavy coding. Angular components function as directives that allow for simplified code configuration that are split into their own functionality. What truly drives them to propel productivity is that they are reusable which enables easier data incorporation and a smoother development process.

However, even within this much more condensed approach, Angular welcomes innovative UI/UX designs with a sturdy foundation at the core. With the time saved on coding, the focus can thus shift onto other elements in the development process such as UI design, which can result in a positive user experience.

Rapid Prototyping 

An Angular framework is a great asset for many digital design agencies because it can mend the chasm between productivity and complexity. It allows them to function in tandem, as opposed to creating friction. As Angular utilizes HTML coding in a less complex language with programming such as Typescript, there is a significant amount of time developers save on mending code errors which in turn equates to fewer expenses wasted and time saved on interface testing.

Easy detection of errors and bugs also allows the opportunities of a positive user experience to flourish because of the lack of interruptions and confusion a user may face while navigating the interface. Collaboration with clients becomes easily achievable because with reusability and pre-made modules, the possibility of a prototype being scraped by a client is greatly reduced. Rather, all that is needed is to input data into respective modules that are pre-established which eliminates overhead.

Open Community

With an open-source software, there is typically a community or forum behind it working collectively to develop new concepts, and Angular is no different. With the freedom to source code, developers are encouraged to craft new code iterations that can result in solutions and capabilities that builds upon other ideas from members in the community.

The liberty to develop new ideas not only in the vein of productivity because of a quicker, collective way of troubleshooting, but because of the myriad of tool and component libraries that are developed for others within these user-build communities. A simplified, yet efficacious way to scale an Angular project is one of its many continual benefits.

UI/UX experiences is a craft that takes time when designing in careful detail, however with the digital ecosystem consistently changing, productive modes of development are always a welcomed asset.
