Almost every designer has encountered the annoying scenario where a minor project spirals out of hand. The project takes twice as long as anticipated, the workload quadruples, and the clients get angry about paying for the extra hours. Designers frequently inform clients that it is challenging to predict the precise length of time needed to build a website or app to manage expectations.
Using UI kits, you can get a more accurate idea of how long a project will take. The only thing left to do is to take the UI kit’s components, organise them per the wireframe you made, and then modify those design elements to meet project requirements. I’ve shared my recommendations for top UI kits in Figma in this article.
