Start semantic
Use resilient HTML, native controls, keyboard support, and progressive enhancement as the baseline.
UX Engineering
Build accessible, resilient interfaces that connect design intent with the realities of scientific software and infrastructure.
Build with intent
Make usability part of implementation
Implementation decisions affect whether an interface remains understandable, accessible, fast, and maintainable. UX quality cannot be added only at the end.
Use semantic foundations, shared components, realistic data, and continuous evaluation to preserve the experience as the system evolves.
