I think maybe the feedback part is not necessarily needed, if you do not plan to continue development (for a long time).
Also I would try to help the user to understand what the application actually is doing, e.g. if calculations are happening, which depend on data records or settings, it can be useful to see how this is happening in order to find any wrong setups (because user could think the App has a bug).
Ah yes, you"re right!
But in most cases, such as digital products, the products are always being improved on basis of feedback, hence I included this point :)
#4 should be #1 IMO. Without consistency, even the best design fails. Controls should always have the same logical order (cancel, options, actions) and work in the way they are expected to. A clever design that works in an unexpected way is worse than a plain design that works as expected.
I didn't number them on the basis of their importance. It was random bcoz I believe that only a combo of various things will help in creating a great design!
Great list! The consistency bit can be applied to certain parts of applications in general, too. Like for example, you (as a user) shouldn't really have to think about how a dropdown picker works - it should work like how 90% of sites and apps do it. Places that miss the mark on that stick out as being cumbersome and harder to use.
Thank you so much for your input!
What's 'predictability' means in line: Provide visual cues and add "predictability"?
Nice read:D
Thanks!
Let's take a look at an example. All over the world, in websites, whenever we see something blue, we instantly think it's a link, right? So in our website too, we need to make sure something blue with an underline is a link. Users will be able to predict that this element will take them someplace else. The blue color and underline is a visual cue and users thinking that it will take them someplace else is them predicting what will happen if they click it!
I understand now, thanks for replying. Have a nice days! :D
These are great tips I totally agree.
Thanks. Glad to know that!
Thanks for your kind words :)
