ARTICLE SUMMARY: If there’s one thing everyone learns growing up, it’s that there are laws for just about everything. These laws exist for the betterment of all, and when they’re followed, good things tend to happen.
Design is no different. At its core, UI/UX design is a creative process that transforms imaginary concepts into real digital products. To be successful, a designer must learn the underlying laws and know how to apply them in practice. This is no small undertaking.
“15 UI/UX Design Laws with Examples (2026 Guide)” by QUARTE goes into great detail of what these laws are and how they help designers create award winning websites. A few of the laws looked at include:
- Von Restorff Effect
- Occam’s Razor
- Zeigarnik Effec
These laws are important to designers because the foundations of UX are rooted in psychology, behavioral science, and human–computer interaction. Together, these disciplines help us understand user behavior—how people actually think, behave, and interact with technology. A solid working knowledge of these principles is essential if we’re going to guide users toward the choices we want them to make.
QUARTE concludes their article by reminding us, “Digital product design isn’t standing still with new technologies, but some things remain constant—human psychology, how we perceive visuals, where we focus our attention, and how we process information. These factors, explained by UI/UX laws and principles, lie at the core of the product design process.”
This is a great article for designers at any level and a tool that belongs in the top tray of your toolbox. Let us know what you think in the comments.
