Development process
Based on UI structure, a UI Presentation can be divided in two categories:
- Page/Window content design
- Page flow design
Page/Window content design
This part deals with the content of a presentation unit. It can be a page, frame or a window
Static content
UI structure and appearance doesn't change in its whole life circle. It mainly deals with a presentation structure. It is a simplest case. In a real application, this case is very rare. But it is a foundation of dynamic UI design.
Control flow
Control flow deals with the dynamic aspect of UI page content. For example, in a payment page of purchase order, the mode of payment UI depends on the type of credit card. When you select one mode, the corresponding UI should be displayed in the same page.
