Attempt #6 - Mobile-First Design with Visual Hierarchy

For my sixth widget, I explored the concept of visual hierarchy in button design, while embracing Tailwind CSS's mobile-first approach. This exercise helped me understand how designing for small screens first can simplify the process of adapting to larger screens.

I really want to thank the Material Minimal folks here

Key Learnings and Enhancements:

  • Mobile-First Approach: I designed the widget with small screens in mind, using Tailwind's mobile-first classes to create a layout that adapts easily to wider screens.
  • Visual Hierarchy in Buttons: I compared two approaches to button design:
    • No Hierarchy: Buttons with similar styles can confuse users about the most important action.
    • Good Hierarchy: Clear differentiation in button styles guides the user to the primary action (e.g., "CHECKOUT").
  • Consistent Spacing and Layout: Used space-x-1 and p-2 to ensure the layout remains clean and consistent across different screen sizes.

Check out the code and see how I implemented these concepts here.
