UI elements

Buttons, input fields, checkboxes & co.: UI elements play a crucial role in how users interact with, experience and deal with a digital application.

Components

There are fixed parameters that precisely define the appearance, shaped, proportions and behaviour of certain basic digital components. Frequently used UI elements such as buttons are ready to be downloaded. We base the design of new components on existing elements. The most frequently needed components have been compiled here:

Buttons

Buttons have a three-level hierarchy: the more important an action prompt is, the greater the visual emphasis on it will be. The levels are divided up as follows:

Primary
This hierarchy level is reserved for the most important action (e. g. CTA). Only one primary button is used for each viewport. It is only used for positive actions s uch as “Confirm”.

Secondary
A number of secondary buttons that are not as important as a CTA may be used for each viewport. This hierarchy level can be used for alternative actions (e. g.“cancel“).

Tertiary
This hierarchy level is used for all further actions, e. g. downloads.

Font hierarchy

The font sizes have been defined for all digital applications to ensure a uniform user experience.

Backgrounds

A variety of different background tints are available to create an exciting design and to better structure the content. You can choose between the following backgrounds:

  • violet gradient up
  • violett gradient sideways
  • white gradient light left
  • white gradient light right
  • white gradient light up
  • violet
  • white

Additional button variants

You can not only adapt the text in buttons: a number of other variants with icons for links, arrows or downloads also can be used. Since these are not available by default in the KESSEL CMS, their use has to be taken into account during the design phase. Do you need a separate button variant for a certain digital application? The button library can be expanded if necessary.

Standard Button Usages

Animated transitions

Showing and hiding images, moving modules or opening a menu: the design of transitions in our digital applications is always fluent and natural. This impression is achieved by means of so-called easing in CSS animations. We use the following standard parameters for the unique KESSEL brand experience:

Demo 1: Animate movement

Demo 2: Animate size, position & transparency

TYPO3 module set

TYPO3 CMS provides a large number of modules that allow you to create your own website and fill it with your own texts and images. Some of the firmly defined modules can be customised, e.g. by choosing a certain background colour or by showing/hiding a button. Best of all: this set of modules is being permanently expanded. Newly developed modules thus offer an even wider range of functions.
