When I started building my product, I had no clue about user experience. Sitting with customers, listening to their pain points and watching them use products is learning. I am still far from being perfect, but getting better every day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some Takeaway:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Similarity<\/strong>: We humans avoid cognitive overload. We are lazy and dislike doing things in a new way unless it is mission-critical. In building our product, we should keep this in mind. We use Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram et all every day. We are aware of how a calendar, close, forward other actions happen, we can use the same flow. <\/li>
  2. Don’t’ make me think<\/strong>: If the default is not obvious, I am not going to take action. The standard example: push and pull written on doors. Opening a Wine bottle.<\/li>
  3. Least clicks<\/strong>: On the application, If I have to take many clicks to reach the desired page from where I am, it is painful. <\/li>
  4. Add helper texts<\/strong>: Do not assume your user knows it all. They are not using or glued to your product as you are. Add helper text, pointers at places where it will be helpful.<\/li>
  5. Focus<\/strong>: Giving too many buttons, too many actions to take is frustration. We should restrict it to one or two actions on every page as a focus area.<\/li>
  6. Incentive<\/strong>: Remind your users on about his achievement for his or her action on your app. They have to feel they are getting something valuable out of their invested time.<\/li>
  7. Minimalism<\/strong>: Multitasking is a disease, it kills productivity. Giving too many options to do one thing will confuse and make the user run away from our product. It will become a distraction. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
