Data table design examples

A data table lets people search, sort and act on many records at once. Our screens show a subscriptions table with search, filters, sortable columns, row checkboxes, status badges, a bulk-action bar and pagination, designed for web and mobile in eight visual styles, each provided with HTML code and a DESIGN.md token file for light and dark. Every example is an original design that comes with its HTML code and a DESIGN.md of colour, type and spacing tokens, in light and dark. Free to use and adapt.

Data table design tips

Right-align numbers and use tabular figures, so amounts line up by digit and can be compared down a column at a glance.
Show the sort direction on the active column header and keep the header row sticky while the table body scrolls.
Reveal a bulk-action bar only when rows are selected, and state how many are selected, including an option to select across all pages.
Pair status badge colours with text labels, because colour alone cannot be read by everyone and loses meaning in greyscale or print.

Questions

How do you design a data table for a web app?

Start with the columns people actually compare, align text left and numbers right, keep row heights consistent and make headers sortable. Add search, filters and pagination for large sets, plus checkboxes and a bulk-action bar for batch work. Keep the header row visible while scrolling.

How should data tables work on mobile?

Show only the key columns and move the rest into an expandable row or detail view, or convert rows into stacked cards. Horizontal scrolling with a pinned first column also works for comparison-heavy tables. Keep search and filters easy to reach at the top.

Pagination or infinite scroll for data tables?

Pagination generally suits data tables better, because people can return to a known position, share a page and see the total count. Infinite scroll suits casual browsing feeds. Whichever you choose, let users change rows per page and show how many results match the current filters.
