Design Documentation¶

This section contains all design-related documentation for the REC Verifiable Credentials Platform, including UI/UX designs, component documentation, and architectural design decisions.

🆕 Flat UI Revamp 2026 (current design direction)¶

→ Open the Revamp 2026 screen index — the new wireframe reference for the core application UI revamp (Task 28). Flat design, existing REC blue/white palette only, navy sidebar app shell, no login screens (Auth0 handles authentication).

SuperAdmin flow¶

Platform Dashboard — org/credential KPIs, integration health, credentials by organization
Organizations — filterable list, status/KYB/tenant chips, suspend dialog
Organization Detail — profile, KYB records, Enable Issuer / Create Org Admin dialogs
Audit Logs — event filters, colour-coded chips, CSV export
New Organization Wizard — 3-step creation flow (org & admin, KYB documents, setup complete)

Org Admin flow¶

Org Dashboard · Users · Settings · KYB
Employees · Employee Form · Employee Detail
Candidates · Candidate Record
Credentials · Issue Credential · Credential Detail

Candidate & shared screens¶

Candidate Claim Page · My Sessions · Landing · Unauthorized

UI Designs (legacy wireframes — superseded by Revamp 2026)¶

The platform's user interface has been designed with a focus on usability, accessibility, and seamless conversion to React components. All designs use Tailwind CSS for styling and follow modern web design principles.

Design System¶

Color Palette¶

Primary: #1e40af (REC Blue) - Main brand color
Secondary: #64748b - Secondary elements
Success: #10b981 - Success states
Warning: #f59e0b - Warning states
Danger: #ef4444 - Error states

Typography¶

Font Family: System fonts (San Francisco, Segoe UI, Roboto)
Font Weights: 400 (normal), 500 (medium), 600 (semibold), 700 (bold)
Font Sizes: Tailwind's default scale (text-xs to text-6xl)

Spacing¶

Following Tailwind's spacing scale (0.25rem increments): - Small: 0.5rem (2), 0.75rem (3), 1rem (4) - Medium: 1.5rem (6), 2rem (8), 3rem (12) - Large: 4rem (16), 6rem (24), 8rem (32)

Components¶

All components are designed with: - Accessibility: WCAG 2.1 AA compliance - Responsiveness: Mobile-first design approach - Consistency: Unified design language across all screens - Scalability: Easy to extend and modify

UI/UX Principles¶

User Experience¶

Intuitive Navigation: Clear information architecture
Progressive Disclosure: Show information when needed
Feedback: Immediate response to user actions
Error Prevention: Validation and confirmation dialogs

Visual Design¶

Clean Interface: Minimal clutter, focused content
Consistent Branding: REC brand colors and typography
Visual Hierarchy: Clear content prioritization
White Space: Proper spacing for readability

Accessibility¶

Keyboard Navigation: Full keyboard accessibility
Screen Readers: Proper ARIA labels and semantic HTML
Color Contrast: WCAG AA compliant color combinations
Focus Indicators: Clear focus states for interactive elements

Technical Implementation¶

Framework Integration¶

All designs are optimized for: - React Conversion: Easy migration to React components - Tailwind CSS: Utility-first CSS framework - Component Reusability: Modular design approach - State Management: Prepared for React state patterns

Performance Considerations¶

Optimized Assets: Compressed images and icons
Lazy Loading: Progressive content loading
Minimal Dependencies: Lightweight implementation
Fast Rendering: Efficient CSS and HTML structure

Browser Support¶

Modern Browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge
Mobile Browsers: iOS Safari, Chrome Mobile
Responsive Design: Works across all device sizes
Progressive Enhancement: Graceful degradation

Development Guidelines¶

Component Structure¶

<!-- Component with proper data attributes -->
<div class="component-classes" data-component="component-name">
  <!-- Component content -->
</div>

React Conversion¶

Replace data-component with React component names
Convert data-* attributes to props
Add state management for interactive elements
Implement event handlers
Add prop validation

Styling Guidelines¶

Use Tailwind utility classes
Follow consistent naming conventions
Maintain responsive design patterns
Ensure accessibility compliance
