Proven Approach for Evangelizing UX

Posted on December 12, 2018March 21, 2022 by admin

We often don’t know why we do things

One of the research studies proving this point was carried out around 50 years back by psychologists Timothy Wilson and Richard Nisbett. The researchers placed a table outside a store with a signboard that read, “Consumer Evaluation Survey: Which is the best quality?” On that table, there were four pairs of ladies stockings, labeled A, B, C and D from left to right. Most of the people i.e. 40% preferred D, and fewest people i.e. 12% preferred A.

The fact was, all the pairs of stockings on a table were identical. The reason most people preferred D was simply a position effect: the researchers knew that people show a marked preference for items on the right side of a display (another finding from psychology). But when the researchers asked people about the stockings that they chose, people identified an attribute of their preferred pair, such as its superior knit, sheerness or elasticity.

The researchers also asked people if they would have been influenced by the order and placement of the items, but with one exception (a psychology student who had just learned about order effects) nobody thought this had affected their choice. Instead, people made up plausible reasons for their choice.

So, there are a few very important factors which should be reminded while working on UX during mobile application development

Size and Location
Attention (Hick’s Law and Serial Position Effect)
Empathy Mapping
Positive Reinforcement
Facts to believe

UX is also about the size and location of controls

According to Fitts’ law (named after the psychologist Paul M Fitts), the time required to rapidly move to a target is a function of the distance to and the size of the target. This applies to both desktop user interfaces as well as touchscreen interfaces. In practice, Fitts’ Law doesn’t mean you should just make big buttons but that you should increase the clickable area. For example, allow a user to click on the text label next to a form field to place their cursor in the field for data entry.

Attention (Towards User’s Psychology)

There are different sorts of attention, based on the situation and the strength of the stimuli.

As a UX designer, we must be very well aware of the important factors of in-depth changes. These changes within the UX environment always draw the attention of the user. With this kind of expertise and experience in website development and design, we can sensibly design user experiences that must be the best fit for the User.

It could be a CMS customization or mobile application development or any other sort of customized software solution:

As a UX Designer, we should better know that during the learning and working activities the users need to use their constant attention. It means that everything on the user interface should deliver this purpose.

Too Many Options and Choices (Hick’s Law)

More choices and options need more mental load. “It describes the time it takes for a person to make a decision as a result of the possible choices he or she has: increasing the number of choices will increase the decision time logarithmically.”

Serial Position Effect: A way to create better user interfaces

The serial position effect, a term coined by Hermann Ebbinghaus, a German psychologist and a leader of memory research, describes how the position of an item in a sequence affects recall accuracy. There are two main concepts involved in the serial position effect:

The Primacy Effect: Items that are presented at the beginning of a list are recalled with greater accuracy than items in the middle of a list.
The Recency Effect: Items that appear at the end of a list are also more likely to elicit better recall than items presented in the middle of a list.

There are a few ways you can design better UX by understanding how the serial position effect affects your user:

We should maintain information related to tasks within the User Interface.
Include cues and notion in the User Interface.
Limit the amount of recall required.
Emphasize and highlight key information in the beginning and end.

Empathy Mapping:

s the name suggests, empathy maps simply help us building empathy with our end users. Based on real data and when combined with other mapping methods, they can:

Remove the bias from designs and brings the team on a single, shared vision of the user.
Brings out weaknesses in the research and understanding of the design.
Brings to light new user requirements that the user themselves may unaware of.
Need to understand what influence the user’s behavior.
Guide us toward meaningful innovation and advancement.

“Pay attention to what users do, not what they say.”
— Jakob Nielsen

Using a Positive Reinforcement In UX

Positive reinforcement is only encouraging an action by rewarding it.

Positive reinforcement can be used in two ways. The first, if you are making use of an unorthodox website design features, a contemporary navigation, or out of the way architecture, you can train your users to handle it appropriately and master it by rewarding their interaction with it.

The second, and much more across the board, the application is to impose it on the platform as a whole. You are not bringing any behavior or habit into existence. You are simply wanting to encourage continued and repeated use of the website or mobile app in general.

Few facts to believe in:

3 Click Rule
This rule states that most probably, users will leave a website if they can’t get to the desired page they want, within 3 clicks.

5 Second Test
A 5-second test includes showing users the interface of a software application or a website for 5 seconds. Participants then have to recall what they saw on the page. This is one of the great methods to see whether the interface, features, or calls to actions has been correctly placed and has a correct impact.

80/20 Rule
This is based on the Pareto principle. Applied to any website, web app, or software environment, 20% of the functionality and features will be responsible for 80% of the results.

A/B Testing
A/B testing is a when you test two different versions of online content with users to see which one they prefer.

Accessibility
Accessibility is the ease with which people can use and understand a website or app. This also refers to how websites and apps are adapted for those with disabilities or special needs. An example of this could be adapting colors to allow people who are color blind.

10 Commandments To Become a UI Hot Stuff! From a Clumsy Noob!

Posted on December 26, 2018March 21, 2022 by admin

Hey! The world is all beautiful, colorful and natural so your User Interface should be. It is one of the most important parts of any website or application. Users usually don’t notice it when it performs well. But in case of errors and poor interface users lose the interest in the product. To create successful user interfaces, most designers follow the basic principles of interface design. Interface design principles represent high-level concepts that are used to guide software design. High level! Not that much

10 commandments are:

1. Place users in control of the interface

The user must be able to reverse the action which allows the user to backtrack without the constant fear of failure.
Create an easy-to-navigate interface during the website development process, so that user should enjoy exploring the interface even in case of complex software or loads of options available.
Acknowledgment and feedback are the necessary needs of today’s complex and messy software. For example, when filling out a password field in the signup form, the interface might inform users of the requirements for their password.
Using progress bars or other indicators makes the user patience while software or app is supposed to be doing something.
Accommodate users with different skill levels by providing shortcuts, hotkeys and fast paths for expert users. For newbie users tutorial and explanation must be there.

2. Make it comfortable to interact with a product

Eliminate all elements and irrelevant information that is not helping your users.
Don’t push users to enter same info multiple time or vast info to fill.
Use terms throughout the interface that users can understand, rather than system or developer language.
Fitts’s law states that the time to acquire a target is a function of the distance to and size of the target. This means that it’s better to design large targets for important functions (big buttons are easier to interact with).
We should design an interface by keeping the requirement of users of all abilities, including those with low vision, blindness, hearing impairments, cognitive impairments etc.
To simulate real world on digital interface metaphors play vital roles. For example, when asking debit card details for payment, you can use a similar picture of the real card as an example.
Errors should be engineered as precise, polite, and constructive. If possible, errors must include the exact issue and solution.

3. Reduce cognitive load

Cognitive load is the amount of mental processing power required to use a product. It’s better to avoid making users think/work too hard to use your product.
According to a research, human working memory can handle seven-plus-or-minus two “chunks” of information while we’re processing information (Theory of CHUNKING by George Miller).
Use 3 click rule to reduce the number of actions required to complete the task. The user of a product should be able to find any information with no more than three mouse clicks.
Visibility of information and accessibility with ease makes the user recall and recognize what he saw recently in a software.

4. Make user interfaces consistent

The main idea of consistency is the idea of transferable knowledge — let users transfer their knowledge and skills from one part of an app’s UI to another, and from one app to another app to have the consistency in website design.
Don’t change the consistent look of visual styles within your product for no reason. For example, a Submit button on one page of your site should look the same on any other page.
The principle of least surprise is the Functional consistency (Consistency of behavior). The behavior of interface controls, such as buttons and menu items, should not change within a product.
To fulfill user requirements follow platform conventions, don’t reinvent patterns, and don’t try to reinvent terminology.

5. Light comes from the sky

Shadows are invaluable cues in telling the human brain what user interface elements we’re looking at. When the light comes from the sky, it illuminates the tops of things and casts shadows below them.
Same in the website development, home page tops of stuff are lighter, the bottoms are darker. Our screens are flat, but we’ve invested a great amount of art into making just about everything on them appear to be 3-D.

6. Black and white first

To simplify the complex elements of the interface we need to first implement Grayscale responsive website design then should go for the colored version.
It is better to start making the app beautiful and usable in every aspect, but without the use of colors, which is a little harder. So, add color after grayscale with a very purposeful and meaningful way.
In some of the cases, it is not necessary to have a grayscale version or interface. Some designs are related to specific attitude — “sporty”, “flashy”, “cartoony”, etc. — need a designer who can use color extremely well. But most apps don’t have a specific attitude except clean and simple. Those that do are admittedly much harder to design.

7. Double your whitespace

For well-designed UI look, you need to add in a lot of breathing room. Sometimes in a ridiculous amount. For this designer needs to remind few things in his mind:

CSS, HTML, and Whitespace

If you, like me, are used for the formatting of the CSS, where mostly the default is no whitespace, don’t try those poor methods and train yourself for new ones.
While designing a software start using whitespace as the default. Everything starts as whitespace until you take it away by adding a page element.
Starting with a blank page means starting with nothing but whitespace. You think of margins and spacing right from the very beginning. Everything you draw is a conscious whitespace-removing decision.
Starting with a bunch of unstyled HTML means starting with content. Spacing is the afterthought. It has to be explicitly stated.

8. Learn the methods of overlaying text on images

For reliably and beautifully overlaying text over images we have certain concrete methods.

Method 1: Apply text directly to the image

The image should be dark.
The text has to be white.
Test it at every screen/window size to make sure it’s legible

Method 2: Overlay the whole image

It is the trendiest method today to overlay the image.
For bright images, translucent black is the best option also you can find colored overlays as well.

Method 3: Put text in a rectangle

Semi-transparent black rectangle and lather on some white text allow any image underneath and text will be clearly visible and legible, you can also add some colors.

Method 4: Blur the image

To make the overlaid text more legible we need to blur part of the underlying image. You can also use the out-of-focus area of a photo as the blur.

Method 5: Floor fade

The floor fade is when you have an image that subtly fades towards black at the bottom, and then there’s white text written over it.
To look most natural to our eye, the image has to be slightly darker at the bottom, just like everything else we ever see.

9. Make text pop — and un-pop

The styling of text matters the most preferably larger and lighter. Text includes multiple features to be reminded like Size (bigger or smaller), Color (greater contrast or lesser; bright colors draw the eye), Font weight (bolder or thinner), Capitalization (lowercase, UPPERCASE, and Title Case), Italicization, Letter, and Margins. For a visible and clear website design, text plays the most important role in improving UI and UX.

Up-pop and down-pop

Styles that increase the visibility of the text. Big, bold, capitalized, etc.
Styles that decrease the visibility of the text. Small, less contrast, less margin, etc.

Selected and hovered styles

Styling selected elements and hover effects are another round in the same game— but more difficult. Usually, changing font-size, case, or font-weight will change how large of an area the text takes up, which can lead to seizing hover effects.

10. Only use good fonts

The clean and simple font is the necessity of a well-designed UI. Sites having unique features include very distinct text depends upon the flavor like sports, online games, and business sites etc. There are some useful resources for a smooth and soothing website design:

Beautiful Google web fonts. This is an awesome showcase of how good Google Fonts can look. I’ve returned to this simple page for inspiration at least a dozen times.
Font Squirrel. A collection of the best fonts available for commercial use, and totally free.
Type kit. If you are on Adobe Creative Cloud (i.e. subscription Photoshop or Illustrator, etc.), then you have free access to a ton of amazing fonts. And yes, Proxima Nova is included.

Joomla 4.0 Carving The New Feature In Web Development

Posted on September 7, 2019March 21, 2022 by admin

The world is going through speedy transformational phases, as the technology is. Every now and then, somewhere, someone is researching something new and better for the next generation. Who don’t follow this Mantra lags behind and soon become out of trend.

So, to stand into the market with cutting-edge competition, one has to be updated just like a true warrior should armed with all his weapons and always update them timely. One who survives all competitive challenges come out as a winner and rule the market.

Honestly, without any doubt, Joomla is the most recommended CMS by the experts and is very much on the fingertips of developers. Following the above trend, Joomla development service are going to boost the market with JOOMLA 4.0 having some of the latest features with better interface never seen before.

Few of the astonishing facts are discussed below to prove the above said statements:

Never Settle Down, Break the Shackles, and Train Yourself with Progressive Technology

Posted on November 7, 2019March 21, 2022 by admin

Only technology stays ahead with itself, when it stays a bit, we give it another push.

Mobile based native application usage dramatically overcame the web-based application with the technology improvement and enhancement.

What if something will replace these native mobile apps too??

Yes, it is already there into the market. It’s never a conclusion that native apps are not useful at all, in fact we use them for everyday task e.g. communicating apps. Native apps directly interact with operating system that makes them faster and more responsive. But native app for every purpose is not the necessity. Then what is better and latest we have into the market?

Here we go!! Progressive Web Apps (PWA), it is a web app that uses latest web features and functionalities to deliver a mobile app-like experience to users. These apps fulfill certain much needed requirements, and are deployed to servers, accessible through URLs, and indexed by search engines.

Progressive web application takes advantage of the latest technologies to combine the best of web and mobile apps such as speed and offline usage, without downloading anything. App-store distribution is not an obstacle with PWA as it is in native apps. PWA acts and feel like an app by its design but in real its base is webpage.

There are certain criteria for an application to be progressive. Below are some important features of a progress application:

Progressive – It should not be restricted to any browser and must work for any sort of user or device. It should be progressive in terms of enhancing communication with browsers and devices.

Responsive – Usually a PWA’s user interface must fit any type of form factor, desktop, mobile, tablet, or next generation device.

Connectivity independent – Loaded with latest technology of service workers to work when you are offline or anywhere having low quality networks.

App-like – With minimal page refreshes, a progressive web app should also look like a native app and use the app-shell model to provide app-style navigation and interactions.

Fresh – Service worker update process must be available to make an app always up to date with the latest content which is published recently.

Safe – Security is the most vital element for any website now a days. PWA hosted over HTTPS to prevent any security breach or attack. It prevents snooping and ensure not make anyone to temper with the content.

Discoverable – As PWA is actually a website, so it is discoverable in search engines and give it an upper hand over the native apps which are not easy optimize in searchability. Also, W3C manifests and service worker registration scope allows search engines to find them.

Re-engageable – People like instant notification and updates on applications they use. So, PWA also provide the re-engagement with ease through features like push notifications.

Installable – PWA apps can be installed on the device home screen so that it should be handy for a user to access it on the priority bases.

Linkable – Another important characteristic of PWA inherited from website. URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) should be used by the well-designed website to indicate the current state of application. This will enable the web app to retain or reload its state when the user bookmarks or shares the app’s URL.

What is the future of Progressive Web applications?

The research organization Gartner have predicted that around 20% of all existing brands will left their native apps by 2019 and will adapt Progressive Web Apps. Progressive Web Apps allow web developers to deliver web-based applications that out-perform Native web applications. PWAs bring features we expect from native apps to the mobile browser experience. With a PWA, your users always have the latest version of your app. You never have to disturb them with updates. You can do continuous deployments to bring new features and fixes instantly.

There are many top companies that have made the switch to Progressive Web Apps like:

Alibaba
Fandango
Flipkart
Forbes
Jumia Travel
Lancôme
Ola
Twitter
Virgin America
The Washington Post

So, don’t think much and plan to make a quick switch with WDMtech, a web and mobile application development company, is very active and prolific in adapting any upcoming future technology.
