Design: 
Basic 
Types of 
Screens
Since 2.71 billion people worldwide use 
smartphones and mobile apps for making their 
lives easier, it is important that out of the ~6,140 
that are released every day, your app stands out. 
How? Well, the first impression is the last 
impression. And what could be the first thing that a 
person would see in your app? That’s right, the 
interface! So, it is important to have a pleasing 
mobile user interface (UI) to ensure that your user 
sticks by and enjoys browsing the app.
Splash Screen
Best Menu Templates
When a user open an app, splash screen is the first thing that appears. The goal behind this screen is 
to maximize the impact with minimum elements. A simple screen might consist of a logo, slogan of 
the product, and a CTA. To keep things simple — a designer should keep the animation duration 
between 4–8 seconds. Anything more than that will annoy the user and they will stop using your app. 
A word of advice is to use display loading progress so that it develops some excitement among the 
users.
Home and menu screens
Design Mockups
Home screen is an essential part of any application. In the context of mobile apps, it’s the main 
screen from which users interact with most options of the application. Home screens are designed 
depending on the type of product and its purpose still there are some key elements common for 
different kinds. First of all, the main screen usually includes the search field or button so that users 
could easily search for the content they need. Also, since the home screen is a start point for the user 
journey, it often contains navigation elements providing access to the various content sections.
Onboarding screen
The onboarding screens are a collection of screens with a purpose to demonstrate a 
mobile app’s main features and benefits and lead users through its interface. Like with 
splash screens, some designers question the necessity of the onboarding, though, in 
reality, it might prove tricky for new users to straightaway correctly guess how to find 
their way through a new app, particularly if the interface is unfamiliar to them.
