Rules to Creating an Effective User Experience Design

  1. Involve your users

When creating user experience design, involve people in the process. How do you do this? You ask them what they want. Websites are built to be used by your clients and visitors, and naturally, users gravitate to websites they like. Use the information to come up with a practical design.

  1. Keep things simple

Always remember not everyone visiting your website is an IT or tech guru. Your clients and site visitors will want something simple and easy to navigate. If your page is hard to manoeuvre or makes your clients look dumb, they will leave. This will increase the bounce rate, which is a disadvantage for your brand or business. When creating a user experience design, it is necessary to keep things very simple. Don't complicate or overdo it.

 

  1. Consistency

Your user experience design must be consistent. Why? One, it makes your site clearer. Users will not have difficulties understanding your style, and it will be easier to navigate it. Secondly, being consistent also strengthens your brand and makes it easier to recognise it.

 

  1. Be intentional with your design

User experience design doesn’t have to feel dull because it is simple. Insert creative elements into your website to attract users and make them want to spend more time on the site. Give it a warm touch that makes users feel welcomed and comfortable navigating it. Also, make it memorable so that visitors can come back. Be intentional with your design style.

 

  1. Functionality

Why have a beautiful, welcoming site that is slow? Ensure your site or application is running well and on time. Loading time should be less than three seconds. Otherwise, your clients and visitors will leave before it even opens.

 

  1. Design process

Creating a user experience design is a complicated process that takes time. However, always make sure you keep up with the process if you are not doing it yourself. Always perceive where you are in the process.

 

  1. Leave room for user error

People misspell words all the time. No wonder search engines have to autocorrect. Similarly, users will make a mistake on your website here and there, leaving room for user errors.
