Design Index
Live this weekBest design tools, resources, and inspiration
About
Design Index is a hand‑picked directory that curates design tools, mockups, icons, fonts, colour palettes, illustrations, and UI components. It lets you describe what you’re building and uses smart, natural‑language search to surface relevant tools. Every listing is manually reviewed, and users can submit resources to help the index grow. The result is a focused, quality‑oriented resource hub for designers.
The case
Who it is for
Designers who need high‑quality mockups, fonts, icons, colour palettes, and UI components—whether beginners or professionals working on client projects.
What is broken today
Before Design Index, designers had to search the web for mockups, fonts, icons, illustrations, colour palettes, and UI components, often finding them scattered across many sites, overpriced, or difficult to locate. This made the discovery process time‑consuming and inefficient.
What it does about it
Design Index lets users describe what they’re building in natural language, then performs a smart search across its hand‑picked database of over 400 tools. Listings are manually reviewed for quality, and users can submit resources to expand the index. The platform provides a single, searchable hub for design assets.
Why not the obvious alternative
Unlike generic search engines or algorithm‑driven directories, Design Index offers manually reviewed listings, a focused set of quality resources, and the ability for users to contribute new tools. This ensures that every entry meets a high standard and that the search results are tailored to designers’ needs.
