How to Avoid UX Design Mistakes
What is a good user experience design?
Honestly speaking, there really isn’t a standard formula for what makes a good user experience. That’s because different users will have different expectations from the same product you offer them.
Understanding a typical user and how they would interact with your product is the very first step to hitting the design desk. Once you’re able to make a fair analysis of what your target audience is looking for, it gets easier to create a design based on usability, while keeping both benefits and negative impact in tow.
This would be a good time to explore the principles of interaction design (IxD) to learn how you can make the user-product interaction better.
7 UX design errors and how to fix them
1. Ignoring the users
Never make the most common mistake of thinking you know what’s best for your users. Empathy should be a UX designer’s guiding force.
Commit to user research and user interviews, followed by usability testing and A/B testing to get it right.
2. Using too many CTAs and pop-ups
A lot of app and website owners make the mistake of flooding their user interface with too many CTAs and pop-ups in an apparent bid for higher conversion.
Not only could you chase away a big chunk of your target audience, but you could potentially be penalized by Google for intrusive interstitials as well. Go easy on your conversion exercise and follow Google latest page experience report for guidelines to choose good pop-ups over bad ones.
3. Low priority on app & website performance
App and website performance issues like slow page loading, broken links and wrong URLs are signs that you don’t give priority to them. Which is a pity because users won’t think twice before abandoning your product.
Add performance tracking to your regular task schedule to monitor every performance issue possible so you can track them and fix them before too many users spot them.
