UI Design Pattern Library Project Building good user interfaces is no trivial task. Many UCB campus web developers lack time and expertise for UI design or focus too intently on creating a distinctive visual design for specific sites. Budgets do not include allotments for UI designers or usability experts. Even when a web application developer consciously focuses on user interface design, the resulting application can have usability, consistency, and interoperability problems. We propose a user interface design pattern management system to provide basic UI components and conventions to help alleviate or at least minimize these problems. A user interface design pattern is a document that describes a UI problem, its solution, a rationale for that solution and examples of the solution. The typical pattern format is text-heavy with few visuals and an unclear relationship between patterns. Typical pattern libraries are also discoverable primarily by the pattern name rather than the problem the pattern wishes to solve.
