Let us discuss the key factor in web design that is clarity. You can achieve great results if you follow basic rules in web design. When you are doing web site yourself or your web design company is doing it for you – normally one thing has strong emphasis that is TO DO THE INNOVATIVE website and this many times damages user experience.
Good Design Matters – Good Communication Matters More
There is no point in choosing the design that is visually appealing but is complex for its users. They won’t understand the heck out of it. Remember when you make them puzzled – they have one simple browser option that is the BACK button.
So, what’s the point? It’s not the point; It is indeed a factor, a thought, a principle that should be running on your mind when you are designing the site, that is: Keep your USERS in mind and do everything they feel easy about.
For instance, if your users like short forms, do it. If they are lazy about filling forms? Provide visible phone number and email and let them contact you via other means.
Designing, building and maintaining a great website isn’t easy. It’s like golf: a handful of things to get the ball in the hole, a million ways not to.
Detailed attention is essential – failing to do so adds cognitive workload and distract attention from the task at hand.
The distractions might be slight but they add up and sometimes it doesn’t take much to throw us.
People don’t like puzzle over how to do thing. If you are puzzling your visitors – this clearly means that you are eroding your visitors’ confidence in the site.
Example: Buttons are buttons (people see and think yes they are clickable) | Links are not button – if links are placed – people will not recognize whether they are clickable or not (by doing this you are making them think – which they don’t like)
Remember: On the Internet, the competition is always just once click away, so if you frustrate users they’ll head somewhere else.
The best solution to overcome frustration is to make website self-evident or atleast self-explanatory.
