Quality hides in details nobody mentions

Consistent radii, optical alignment, honest shadows and one considered hover state.

The details that make a page feel made:

  • the same radius everywhere (and inner radius = outer radius minus padding),
  • text optically centred in buttons, icons aligned to the cap height,
  • borders that are 1px at low contrast instead of heavy shadows,
  • focus states you would be proud to show,
  • empty, loading and error states that someone designed,
  • real content lengths: the longest name, the shortest, no name at all.

None of these are visible in a screenshot at a glance. All of them are felt.
