Cards UI is an emerging trend in web design. It is difficult to say what started it and how it came about. Some say it is due to the rise of mobile browsing whereby a card UI makes more sense. Others say that this is due to personalization, whereby information pieces from different sources are pieced together in a card UI for users to customize their information intake. No matter what is the real driving force behind this trend, I am seeing more interest in this area as more big companies are adopting such a UI design into their products. In this roundup, we will see a handful of such companies that have used cards UI successfully.
#1: Google cards UI
Google elegantly used a card UI to create a dashboard for different google services so that you can get everything in a glance. One of the best thing about using a card UI is that it fits into the mobile displays very easily. You can see how the Google card UI for the web can be easily translated to the screen.
