Quick answer

What makes a good dashboard design?

A good dashboard answers a specific user’s most important questions first, shows exceptions instead of everything, uses the right chart for each comparison and leads directly to the next action. Stack18 designs dashboards by understanding user roles and decisions, then designing hierarchy, charts, tables, filters and empty and error states that work on desktop and tablet.
