Enhancing the Founder Edit Modal

ReactUI/UXFoundamentalFigma

In this post, I’ll discuss the recent updates made to the FounderModal component. The goal was to improve the design and functionality of the modal based on the specifications provided in Figma. This enhancement is not just about aesthetics; it’s about creating a more intuitive and user-friendly experience for our users.

Design Choices and Enhancements

User-Centric Design

The primary focus of this update was to create a more user-friendly and visually appealing modal. By utilizing Material-UI's Modal component, I ensured that the modal behaves consistently across different devices and screen sizes.

 
tsx
import { Modal } from '@mui/material'

;<Modal open={isOpen} onClose={handleClose}>
	<div className='modal-content'>{/ Modal content goes here /}</div>
</Modal>

This choice enhances the user experience by providing a familiar interface that users can easily navigate.

Visual Consistency

To maintain visual consistency with the rest of the application, I updated the modal's styling. This included adjusting the padding, border radius, and box shadow.

 
tsx
const StyledModal = styled(Box) 
padding: 20px; 
border-radius: 10px; 
box-shadow: 0px 4px 20px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);

This ensures that the modal's appearance is cohesive with other UI elements.

User Interaction

Improving user interaction within the modal was another key focus. I implemented clear button states and hover effects to provide immediate feedback to users.

 
tsx
<Button variant='contained' onClick={handleSubmit}>
	Submit
</Button>

This attention to detail helps users understand their actions and enhances the overall usability of the component.

Conclusion

Overall, the enhancements made to the FounderModal component significantly improve the user experience. By focusing on design consistency, user interaction, and accessibility, I believe the modal now better serves its purpose within the application. I welcome any feedback or suggestions from the team.
