* Design and code an app that’s easy to navigate and looks great on a variety of devices and screen sizes. * Define your app’s personality through color, typography, and motion. * Controls are the building blocks you use to create a UI. A pattern is recipe for combining controls to make something new. * Customize your app for specific types of input and devices. * Make your app more inclusive through accessibility and globalization, app settings, and in-app help. * Jump-start your project with design templates and tools. * Learn about our design philosophy and the theory behind our design recommendations.
