We are thrilled to announce the launch of Dashboards.Design, a platform dedicated to providing the best resources and inspiration for dashboard design using visualization and AI generation
Whether you are a UX/UI designer, a developer, or a business owner looking to enhance your data visualization capabilities, Dashboards.Design is here to help.
Why Dashboards.Design?
Dashboards are essential components for various web applications and software as a service (SaaS) platforms. They provide users with valuable data visualizations of key performance indicators (KPIs) to facilitate informed decision-making. Understanding dashboard design principles is vital for creating user-friendly interfaces that effectively communicate essential data to your users.
Key Features of Dashboards.Design
1. WYSIWYG Page Builder
Our dashboard design introduces a powerful WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) page builder. This feature allows users to effortlessly create their dashboards through a highly intuitive drag-and-drop interface.
How It Works
- Drag-and-Drop Widgets: Users can simply select from a variety of pre-designed widgets available in the widget library. These widgets can range from data visualizations like charts and graphs, to text boxes, images, and interactive elements such as buttons and sliders. By dragging these widgets onto the dashboard canvas and dropping them in the desired location, users can start building their dashboard layout.
- Customizable Layout: The page builder offers a flexible grid system or freeform layout options, depending on the user's preference. Users can easily adjust the size and position of each widget, ensuring that the dashboard is both visually appealing and functionally organized. They can also group related widgets together, create sections with headers and footers, and apply consistent styling across the dashboard.
- Real-Time Preview: As users make changes to the dashboard, they can see the results in real-time. This WYSIWYG approach eliminates the guesswork and allows users to fine-tune their design until it perfectly meets their requirements. They can instantly see how different widget arrangements, sizes, and styles impact the overall look and feel of the dashboard.
2. AI-Generated Charts
Another key feature of our dashboard design is the ability to generate charts using artificial intelligence. This innovative feature revolutionizes the way users create data visualizations.
How It Works
- Data Input: Users start by inputting their data into the dashboard. This data can be sourced from various databases, spreadsheets, or other data repositories. Once the data is uploaded, the AI algorithm analyzes the structure, patterns, and relationships within the data.
- Chart Suggestions: Based on the analysis, the AI engine suggests the most suitable chart types for the given data. It takes into account factors such as the data format (e.g., categorical, numerical), the number of data points, and the relationships between different variables. For example, if the data represents time-series information, the AI may suggest line charts or area charts. If the data is categorical with a few distinct categories, it might recommend bar charts or pie charts.
- Customization and Refinement: While the AI provides initial chart suggestions, users have the freedom to customize and refine these charts further. They can adjust the chart colors, labels, axes, and other visual elements to match their branding guidelines or personal preferences. Additionally, users can explore alternative chart types suggested by the AI or even experiment with different data combinations to gain deeper insights.
3. Inspiration and Examples
Our platform offers a wide range of dashboard design examples and inspiration. From operational dashboards that monitor day-to-day activities in real-time to analytical dashboards that use historical data to uncover trends, we have it all. We also feature strategic dashboards that offer a high-level overview of key business objectives and progress toward long-term goals. These are essential for executive and board members to track overall company performance for strategic decision-making.
4. Practical Tools and Resources
Dashboards.Design provides practical tools and resources to help you build highly interactive, production-ready dashboards. For example, UXPin Merge allows design teams to import live components from a Git repository or Storybook and use them to create interactive UI designs that reflect the exact behavior of the final product. We also offer best practices for creating dashboards, including defining the purpose and user needs, organizing data for clarity, using drill-downs and filters, highlighting key metrics, and iterating and refining based on user feedback.
