🎨 Frontend Design Recommendations for PanIA
1. MODERN UX/UI PRINCIPLES (2024-2025)
🎯 User-Centered Design Philosophy
- Jobs-to-be-Done Framework: Organize around what users need to
accomplish, not features
- Progressive Disclosure: Show only what's needed when it's needed
- Contextual Intelligence: AI-powered interfaces that adapt to user
behavior and business context
- Micro-Moment Design: Optimize for quick, task-focused interactions
🏗️ Information Architecture Principles
- Hub-and-Spoke Model: Central dashboard with specialized workspaces
- Layered Navigation: Primary → Secondary → Contextual navigation
levels
- Cross-Module Integration: Seamless data flow between related
functions
- Predictive Navigation: Surface relevant actions before users need
them
2. RECOMMENDED NAVIGATION STRUCTURE
🎛️ Primary Navigation (Top Level)
