Terra UX Principles

Five UX principles guiding VTS's Terra design system, ensuring products are intuitive, productive, and feel part of a cohesive ecosystem.

  1. Clear

    Ensure users are never confused by meeting them where they are in language and workflow. Prioritise accessibility and concise, focused information.

  2. Efficient

    Make working in VTS productive and performant. Pre-fill fields with sensible defaults, suggest actions, and hide infrequently-used functionality.

  3. Smart

    Enable users to do their jobs more effectively through trustworthy, actionable insights. Show how analytics were derived so users can share with confidence.

  4. Connected

    Products should feel part of the same ecosystem. Display information everywhere it’s relevant and link related views so users don’t need to hunt.

  5. Polished

    Ship thoughtful, crafted experiences. Use familiar patterns, deliver in vertical slices, and continuously evolve in response to user expectations.
