refactoring ui from the creators of tailwind css over 30 000 copies sold 4 68 stars on goodreads make your ideas look awesome without relying on a designer learn how to design beautiful user interfaces by yourself using specific tactics explained from a developer s point of view get two free chapters buy now get two free chapters buy now this is the survival kit i wish i had when i was starting out building apps derrick reimer founder of savvycal this book is fantastic for engineers learning how to design alex maccaw founder of clearbit this book refactoring ui is a no brainer for anyone in the web industry justin jackson co founder of transistor i know this looks terrible but i have no idea why hi i m adam wathan a full stack developer who used to suck at design i ve been friends with steve schoger for years and we ve worked on a bunch of side projects together him handling the ui design and me taking care of development like a lot of developers i always wished i could make my ideas look awesome without relying on a designer but any time i tried to design something myself i would always get frustrated and give up i always chalked it up to a left brain right brain sort of thing i m logical and analytical so i m good at programming people like steve are intuitive and creative so he s good at design but after working closely with steve i started picking up little tricks tricks that didn t require any artistic talent but made things look better instantly for reasons that made sense to me as a developer design with tactics not talent here s a concrete design tactic i bet you see applied every day but haven t explicitly noticed use fewer borders borders are a great way to distinguish two elements from one another but using too many of them can make your design feel busy and cluttered instead try adding a box shadow using contrasting background colors or simply adding more space between elements it doesn t take any talent to make changes like this once you know the tactic you just need to notice the problem and apply the solution most design courses are missing the mark they focus so much on high level principles like color theory and typography which while important never helped me make instant improvements like the actionable specific tactics i was picking up from steve working together we knew we could create something better over the last few years we ve helped thousands of developers get better at design through quick tips in depth articles and video tutorials refactoring ui takes everything we know about design and bundles it into one comprehensive package including a book screencasts a component gallery custom designed assets and more it s exactly what i needed when i was struggling to make my projects look awesome what we ve put together it s not just a book it s everything you need to start producing better designs today when we first started working on this project our ambitions were pretty modest take all of the tips and tricks we ve shared on twitter bundle them up into one resource and put it out into the world but the more time we put into planning it the more we realized that we had an opportunity to create something better than that something that wasn t just a book but more like a complete survival kit for designing for the web here s what we ended up with the book a beautiful pdf containing 50 incredibly visual chapters spread across 200 painstakingly typeset pages this book contains literally everything we know about web design distilled into short easy to read chapters every chapter is designed to be as independent as possible so you can read them in almost any order and if you want to sit down and read the whole thing at once you ll have no trouble getting through it in just a couple of hours we hate books that repeat the same ideas over and over just to fill out the page count this book is written a lot like our blog posts every sentence is highlight worthy full table of contents starting from scratch start with a feature not a layout 7 detail comes later 10 don t design too much 13 choose a personality 17 limit your choices 24 hierarchy is everything not all elements are equal 30 size isn t everything 32 don t use grey text on colored backgrounds 36 de emphasize to emphasize 39 labels are a last resort 41 separate visual hierarchy from document hierarchy 46 balance weight and contrast 48 semantics are secondary 52 layout and spacing start with too much white space 56 establish a spacing and sizing system 60 you don t have to fill the whole screen 65 grids are overrated 72 relative sizing doesn t scale 79 avoid ambiguous spacing 83 designing text establish a type scale 88 use good fonts 94 keep your line length in check 99 baseline not center 102 line height is proportional 105 not every link needs a color 109 align with readability in mind 111 use letter spacing effectively 115 working with color ditch hex for hsl 119 you need more colors than you think 123 define your shades up front 129 don t let lightness kill your saturation 133 greys don t have to be grey 139 accessible doesn t have to mean ugly 142 don t rely on color alone 146 creating depth emulate a light source 150 use shadows to convey elevation 158 shadows can have two parts 163 even flat designs can have depth 167 overlap elements to create layers 170 working with images use good photos 174 text needs consistent contrast 176 everything has an intended size 181 beware user uploaded content 187 finishing touches supercharge the defaults 192 add color with accent borders 195 decorate your backgrounds 198 don t overlook empty states 203 use fewer borders 206 think outside the box 210 leveling up leveling up 215 see all the chapters in the book video tutorials the book will teach you a ton but there are some things best learned by watching an expert do it themselves we ve put together three in depth video tutorials that walk through how to take all of the ideas in the book and apply them to three common ui design scenarios designing a complex form interface 11 13 building a data focused dashboard 17 20 styling a text focused landing page 12 08 each video is tightly edited and just the right pace so there s no wasted time watching me hmm and uhh my way around the design the component gallery how many times have you found yourself looking at other apps to get ideas for things like button styles form layouts or navigation treatments this has always been a huge pain point for us with our own work so we built the component gallery to solve it the component gallery is a huge resource of 20 component layout categories and 200 individual component styles it includes medium fidelity mockups of every idea we could think of for every component we could think of including things like button styles card layouts login page layouts table styles marketing page sections navigation layouts and much much more color palettes if you ve ever used an online color palette generator you know that the five swatches they end up giving you are never enough to build out a real interface we set out to solve this by handcrafting over a dozen comprehensive color palettes that include 10 shades for each included color as well as an example ui showing how those colors are intended to be used we ve also put together a huge library of individual color scales that you can use to curate your own palettes without handpicking every single shade yourself font suggestions trying to pick the perfect font for a project is a nightmare there are thousands of fonts to choose from and trying to make an informed decision without seeing a particular font in the right context takes forever we ve put together a list of over 30 fonts we absolutely love and broken it down across three categories ui headlines and article copy each font is shown in an example ui for that category so you can get a feel for exactly how it s going to look where you intend to use it without having to try each font yourself if you ve ever felt uneasy trying to choose a typeface this is going to save you a ton of time custom illustrated icons refactoring ui also includes a set of 200 beautifully illustrated svg icons the svgs are pre optimized and the colors can easily be customized to fit your branding with just css no design tool knowledge required primary fill 637985

recommendations are pdfs the screencasts are downloadable mp4 files and the icons are svg everything is drm free that crap is annoying can i upgrade to the complete package later of course shoot us an email at email protected and we ll sort you out does the component gallery include css short answer is no long answer is that the goal with the component gallery is to provide layout and treatment ideas with just enough fidelity to be useful if you need an idea for a pricing page layout the idea is that you d browse the component gallery to find one you like then combine that with what you learn from the book to create a great looking design yourself there are a million ways you could style these components and we don t want the component gallery to encourage you to make every project look the same what s the license for the icons you can read a copy of the license here tl dr do pretty much whatever you want with them including using them in open source projects just don t resell them or publish them on npm purely to distribute them for free or anything lame like that what if i decide it s not for me no problem at all email us at email protected within 60 days and we ll refund you in full no questions asked copyright 2026 tailwind labs inc
