Best practices
Do
- Use sidebar navigation for apps with 5+ sections
- Keep dashboard metrics in a responsive grid
- Include quick actions in the header area
- Make the layout responsive — sidebar collapses on mobile
Don't
- Use horizontal navigation for more than 5 items — use sidebar
- Put too many metrics in one row — max 4 on desktop
- Hide the navigation on desktop — users expect it to persist
- Forget the mobile experience — test sidebar collapse behavior
Variations
Topbar Only
Horizontal navigation for simpler apps. Mobile uses hamburger menu.
Bottom Navigation
Mobile-first layout with bottom tab navigation.
Dual Panel
Sidebar + topbar combo for complex enterprise apps.
Minimal
No sidebar, just topbar + content. For lightweight dashboards.
Developer tips
flex h-screen on the container, flex-1 on main content, flex-col for vertical stacking.
• Make sidebar collapsible. Use CSS transforms and transitions for smooth collapse behavior.
• Test the responsive behavior. Ensure the mobile navigation works well with your specific navigation items.
• Use CSS grid for metric widgets. Responsive grid layouts adapt automatically to screen size.Related
