Semantic UI Overview

What is Semantic UI?

Semantic UI uses Gulp to process LESS files with theming variables, add vendor prefixes for supported browsers with autoprefixer, watch file changes and rebuild the necessary files when adjusting themes, automatically process asset paths, so that minified and concatenated releases can exist in different directories, allow custom builds with only the required components for your site, and allow advanced usage like Right-To-Left (RTL) languages using RTLCSS.

What do you like best about Semantic UI?

Semantic UI is a simple and standard components based UI framework where you get build in components to use directly without any hussel of creating them from scratch. Best thing for the developer is the detail documention of each component. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Semantic UI?

Semantic UI is not as popular like other UI frameworks so the Community support is limited if you stuck. Learning semantic UI might be a problem for beginners as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Semantic UI solving and how is that benefiting you?

When your client wants as simple and elegant but standard components for their Web application you can definitely go with the Semantic UI. Already built in components that are ready to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Semantic UI is helpful for designing the website without reinventing the CSS. So basically it's the helper CSS module. We use semantic UI for speedy development and simplicity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has got less browser compatibility which can be an issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is easy to use, great for beginners. Also for people who don't want to build their own custom components can use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Semantic UI solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have used semantic UI in react for building simple and elegant web pages without having any designs. It has given me pre-defined components to work with so that I can focus on the functionality more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Semantic UI?

I love the fact that the developer can handpick components and easily customize them to their needs. I find this as a huge plus point of Semantic UI over other popular alternatives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Semantic UI?

Semantic UI is not beginner-friendly. It was hard for me to initially begin developing web apps incorporating semantic UI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Semantic UI:

If you want to develop a large scale web application, I would recommend using it. I would also recommend you highly use it when developing browser-friendly web apps in particular. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Semantic UI solving and how is that benefiting you?

For me, sematic UI speeds up my development time, especially when I design mobile-friendly web apps. For me, the developer experience was great with this framework as I found it easier to make my designs come alive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Semantic UI?

The UI has prebuilt designs that I can quickly leverage in my page designs. My team and I leverage the UI kit as the base to build our digital brand guidelines. Styles that we mostly leverage are tables, button styles, and card designs. I leverage the UI Doc to understand how code snippets are implemented and how I use the predefined features that the UI offers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Semantic UI?

The column grid system is difficult the manipulate as part of the Sitecore framework. I find that selection and predefined code snippets are difficult to implement. It's sometimes difficult to use the UI doc reference to troubleshoot and correct design issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Semantic UI solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Symantec UI as the backbone of our digital platform - I leverage the grid system to make my design responsive and built on with the best web standards. Symantec UI is the framework that Sitecore uses to build our website pages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Semantic UI?

I love that there are so many elements to choose from, and each one has many different options for customization. I like how easy it is to implement and reuse from project to project. There are a lot of integration options, and the ability to theme custom variables is very useful to avoid having to redefine all of my styles in a project. I also think the documentation is pretty thorough, and I usually can find answers to what I'm looking for pretty easily. It also seems there is new content being added all the time. I like being able to add functionality that "just works" without having to worry about too many moving parts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Semantic UI?

There's honestly not a ton that I can think of that I don't like. On a few occasions, I would have liked to see more documentation or been able to find better support on forums, but it wasn't a huge issue. It currently seems that the forums.semantic-ui.com page is down. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Semantic UI:

Make sure to read as much of the documentation as possible before you begin implementing it on a large project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Semantic UI solving and how is that benefiting you?

I've used semantic UI in some React projects for work. Other times I use it when I need something quick that will work when I'm building a project for education or fun. I've realized that it can help take care of a lot of secondary functionality so that I can focus on more difficult parts of a project. It's usually easy to implement and always looks professional.

What do you like best about Semantic UI?

It's easy to get a basic UI up and running quickly with Semantic and there are component packages available for most widely used frontend libraries. The default styles and behaviors are sensible and appealing without being distracting. Personally, I like to do prototyping with Semantic or similar libraries and then swap in custom components or modify the base styles as it becomes necessary. This ability to progressively customize the theme and appearance of your components, while starting from a solid base, is powerful (although not unique to Semantic). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Semantic UI?

I wouldn't use Semantic for building layouts. There's not really a need for the kinds of layout components it provides once you have a decent understanding of CSS grid and flexbox, in my opinion. There's also the common problem with component libraries that if you use a single one for numerous sites, they all end up looking quite similar, even if you make some custom modifications. Finally, I think the Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Semantic UI:

I would consider using Semantic for personal projects, prototyping, and internal tools. If you're looking for something on which to base a larger project that will need to evolve considerably over time, requires numerous custom components with complex behaviors, you're probably not going to save much time by starting out with Semantic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Semantic UI solving and how is that benefiting you?

I typically use Semantic UI or similar tools for quick prototyping. In the past I've also made use of it for constructing internal tooling for companies I've worked at, where having a clean, consistent and easy to use set of components and styles removes a big hurdle from development and allows you to focus on the more important functionality needed.

What do you like best about Semantic UI?

Semantic UI is beautifully designed and easy to use framework with very helpful code examples. It's easy and ready to start ui helps save time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Semantic UI?

Semantic is less flexible which makes adding custom css difficult. Important components like slider, Carousel, responsive nav bar or burger nav, table ui with actions and details panel are not included in the framework , I would love to see these get included in the new update along with more animations, responsive components and customisation options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Semantic UI:

Highly recommended Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Semantic UI solving and how is that benefiting you?

Semantic is loaded with very useful components like Image, Cards, Feed and much more with customisation which makes development easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
