Design by Situation

Design by situation provides targeted review guides for specific product contexts — each guide answers "what to look for" in a particular type of interface.

Use the marketplace guide for more than ecommerce. It also covers chooser and gateway surfaces where a reader or agent must compare ideas, offers, tools, proofs, or implementation routes before committing attention.

Context​

  • depends-on Product Design — the design principles and systems these situational guides apply
  • pairs-with How to Audit a Page — the general audit framework these situation-specific guides extend
  • pairs-with Design System — the component language used in the interfaces being reviewed
