Summary
What is a Frontend?
The frontend of an application, website, or dapp is everything the user can see and interact with. It’s also called the client-side.
This includes:
🎨 Colors, styles, images, and animations.
🖱️ Buttons, menus, input fields.
📊 Graphs, tables, and text.
👉 In short: If the user can see it or interact with it, it’s part of the frontend.
Frontend Components: User Interface (UI)
UI = the space where user interactions happen.
3 key elements:
Interactive Design → turns users into active participants.
Information Architecture → presents information logically.
Visual Design → makes apps/websites look appealing.
💡 Tip: Tools like Moralis web3uikit can help you quickly build great Web3 UIs.
Frontend Components: User Experience (UX)
UX = the entire customer journey.
Focuses on research, testing, and personas.
Makes sure the product feels smooth and intuitive.
⚡ Difference:
UI → how it looks.
