Best practices for creating intuitive and effective user experiences
Eliminate ambiguity. Make sure interfaces are easy to understand and actions are self-evident. Users should never have to guess how to accomplish a task.
Make important elements visible and easily accessible. Users shouldn't have to remember information from one part of the interface to another.
Provide clear feedback for all user actions. Users should always know what's happening and whether their actions were successful or not.
Use consistent patterns, behaviors, and visual elements throughout the interface. This reduces cognitive load and helps users learn the system faster.
Design interfaces that prevent errors before they occur. When errors do happen, make them easy to recover from.
Minimize the steps required to complete tasks. Respect users' time and effort by making interactions as efficient as possible.
