How it began…
UI card design arguably originated in 2006 with
Microsofts Metro design language. The collection, seen with the
Windows startup screen, used the card format as a sort of catalog. It
featured a grid of colored squares each representing a function on
the computer. The simple click of a card would take you to its
corresponding place with ease and efficiency. Since then, these card-
inspired interfaces have shifted from large, generalized options to a
sharper, more myopic focus on larger cards at a time.

One of the most notable examples of this
shift in card-based design is Tinder. The popular dating app has gained
a large following (and inspired lots of competitors) because of the
way it successfully implements card-based shapes into user
interaction. The UX is intended to feel like sorting through cards in a
deck, making it a quicker, more entertaining experience than dating
apps of the past. Inspired by the success of this method, popular
dating sites OkCupid and Match.com have followed suit and
implemented similar card-based designs for their mobile apps. Even
broader social media titans Facebook and Twitter now feature post-it
type cards for information as well.

Programs like LiveTiles are ideal for card-
based designs. The many rectangular tiles function in much the same
way as the interfaces of Tinder or Pinterest. But now, setting them up
on your page requires no coding knowledge—simply drag and drop to
create a layout that's simple, compact and beautiful. And just like
flipping through a deck of cards, LiveTiles makes it seamless to switch
between pages as well, helping keep content straightforward and
separate.
Jerry Cao of tech trend site TheNextWeb.com claims that “cards are far
from a trend, they’re a practical method for design whose usefulness is
just now being understood.” Based on the way new popular sites
continue to employ this style, this may just be true.

CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING
“You’d probably rather not spent your time on the phone. But when
you have to, it’s nice to put a face to a name and voice. Skype, the
original video-conferencing software, is still the perfect utility for
small and growing businesses. With long roots in the industry, and
millions of users, Skype remains free to call for other users and you’re
able to buy credits to cheaply call landlines and mobiles (even
internationally !)”.
