Do more with less

You can do more with less by reducing your design to its essence, and solving for distractions,
not discoverability. Create a clean and purposeful experience by leaving only the most relevant
elements on screen so people can be immersed in the content.

  • Be great at something instead of mediocre at many things.
  • Put content before chrome.
  • Be visually focused and direct, letting people get immersed in what they love, and they will explore the rest.
  • Inspire confidence in users. 

Desktop browsers have quite a lot of chrome (menus, options, status bars, and so on) that is
only sometimes useful. Typically, however, users open a browser to see a webpage, not to
interact with the browser. Moving commands off the browser chrome and into the app bar or
into charms helps users focus on what they care about.
