The Endeca User Interface Design Pattern Library (UIDPL) describes principled ways to solve common user interface design problems related to search, faceted navigation, and discovery. The library includes both specific UI design patterns as well as pattern topics such as:
With your feedback, insights, and input, we'll continue to evolve the library over time. Read more...
It is important to note that the patterns are offered as proposed sets of design guidelines. They are NOT the only solutions, strict recipes etched in stone, or a substitute for sound human-centered design practices.
In our view, it is essential to select and apply the patterns critically and thoughtfully based on an understanding of the users - their level of knowledge, their discovery scenarios and goals, and their modes of information discovery. For example, some UI patterns work well for the "knowledgeable seeker" but not the "uncertain explorer."
For more information about how to effectively use the patterns, you can download Applying Endeca Search & Discovery UI Design Patterns. (You can also view/listen to a UIE - User Interface Engineering-- Webinar on Leveraging Search and Discovery Patterns for Great Online Experiences that Mark Burrell, Ph.D., VP of User Experience at Endeca, presented with Peter Morville.
