A Look
behind the History of the Facebook’s UI Design
In 2004, Harvard’s students were
able to tap into the world of Facebook before it was available for the public
in 2006. Simplicity has always been the
concept of Facebook. For instance, the same concept of the design is still the
same as its early phase. Facebook still has the same white background and blue
colored header. This does not mean that the website and its features have not
changed because the website grew with the growth of its owner, Mark Zuckerberg.
Although, it is not easy to know what Mark Zuckerberg was thinking about during
the first days of the website but it shows that one of his primary focuses was
the functionality over UI. Since the debut of Facebook and it has been getting
more money than anything else and this is why it witnessed a lot of
improvements in its design. One step at a time, its design was upgraded and
improved. Facebook is always updating its UI and with such updates comes a lot
of criticism. Most people tend to attack these new updates until they start to
tap into their advantages and then they start to appreciate them.
Reasons
to Design Native
It is advised to design native
when you are designing an app. The two main reasons are the security and the
familiarly that the native design offers. A native design will always be
familiar to people who are going to use the app. As for security, users will
certainly feel safer when they are in an environment that is familiar to them
unlike foreign designs.
