20 Free Top Shelf UI Kits for Web Designers

When it comes to web design, the UI elements that are included can, at times, make or effectively break (in more ways than one) the overall piece. Compromising the aesthetics and even the functionality of the design rendering it virtually useless. So we have to choose the UI elements carefully. Too subtle, and some users may not pick up on them. Too bold, and you risk compromising the fine balance between elements that can really tie the entire piece together. So today we have brought our web design readers a little treat. We have collected 20 top shelf UI kits that can help you add that special touch of class to your web design projects. All of these fantastic kits are available for free for both personal and commercial use. Most of the downloads consist of layered psd files unless otherwise noted.

      2. No, I thank you. I completely overlooked the icon on the site indicating who made it. It wasn’t until seeing your avatar here on your comment that I recognized the icon on PixelsDaily for what it was. :)

  4. This is a very handy resource, especially for the less design orientated web developers among us!

    I like the E-Commerce Steps UI form validation styles.
