Synopsis
Widgets operate as a page within a page, packing data and interactions into a tight interface that may need to operate independent of its parent environment. Style guidelines govern most widget platforms and may help publishers integrate with the parent UI. Are there any widget design principles standard across all platforms? How should publishers design tiny pieces of functionality as stand-alone badges or integration across multiple platforms?
In this session you will learn the essential ingredients of good widget design. You will learn how to create a widget using these essential elements, how to style a widget inside a small space, and understand the user expectations of widget design and interaction. Discover the best practices of widget designs across multiple platforms and extract more value from every pageview.
