Learn to design with your user’s needs and expectations in mind by applying Jakob Nielsen and Rolf Molich’s Ten User Interface Guidelines. These heuristics have been reflected in many of the products designed by some of the most successful companies in the world such as Apple, Google, and Adobe. Further evidence of how their design teams incorporate these rules into their design process is reflected in the user interface guidelines published and shared by these companies. This article will teach you how to follow the ten rules of thumb in your design work so you can further improve the usability, utility, and desirability of your designs.

As a manager with a technical background, I struggled for a long time to evaluate candidates for positions outside of my expertise – especially user experience designers.
Experienced UX designers are one of the most coveted talent assets among small businesses, especially those that rely on tech, which is part of the reason why designers have one of the highest turnover rates in the industry at 23.3 percent. But if you don't have a design background, it can be difficult to gauge exactly how much value a good UX designer adds to your small business – especially because the job title itself can mean so many different things.

It was 5 years ago when I started out with the unknown UX field. I was clueless and the only thing I know about it was, I get to design. At first, I was doubtful if this thing is for me since Design was introduced to me in Posters, Illustrations, Photo Manipulations, and Character creation context. But when I learned about UX, I found something I can level up in. I thought to myself, “Interfaces? I think I can do it”

Building a website is all about your users. You need to be aware of your audience and you build your brand identity around them. There are thousands of ways to approach and enhance your website user experience. One of the strategies we are often presented with is using humor and cuteness added to your website style.
What is implied with humor and cuteness? Is it all about making jokes and being sarcastic? Well, it’s a bit more than that. If you choose to go down the humor road, you’re giving your brand a specific voice, and you need to be consistent in using it. Humor helps you make a great first impression on your users. It also leads to people developing certain kinds of emotions for your brand and that makes it closer to your users.
Here’s what you need to know if you want to use humor and cuteness to improve your website user experience.

The ability to ask meaningful questions is a fundamental yet often overlooked skill in the UX Designer’s toolkit. I’ve begun to notice a clear correlation between the number of questions a designer asks throughout the process and the quality of the final design output.
It’s much more than creating, it’s about understanding your problem so well that the solution is obvious.
In order to understand the challenge at hand, UX Designers must ask great questions at every stage of the process. I’ve cataloged a robust list of questions (100 to be exact) that I’ve found to be useful for projects spanning industries, devices, and personas. While by no means comprehensive, it should provide a framework for design thinking through different stages of a project.

When computer networking hit its first big wave of innovation in the 90’s, spurred by the internet age, it was the definition of school-age cool: mysterious, and infinitely complex. The internet and networks connected people like never before. Over the next few decades, as innovation exploded in other areas like cloud computing and mobile, networking innovation sort of stagnated.

Among all the design resources we have on the internet, we as UX designers have a unique design process where we use several techniques and tools according to the project scope, and the timelines.
And It’s never a linear process.
Here are some tips for using each technique from the design process I use daily to improve your product.

According to a 2017 study by mobileinsurance.com, a person spends roughly 1.5 hours a day on the phone.
While that may not seem significant, it averages out to nearly four years of his or her life. When actual usage was analysed, it was found that calling people featured only sixth on the list. While gaming and social media were top contenders, app usage featured second on the list, closely behind browsing. It should come as no surprise then that User Experience (UX) has become key to Internet product development. Simply put, a person’s UX covers his or her interaction with a product.

According to Google Trends, the term “empathy” now appears in Search more than six times as often as it did in 2004. Finding a job description for a design role that doesn’t mention “empathy” is near impossible. Undergraduate and graduate schools alike espouse “learning how to empathize” in the curricula. Empathy is everywhere, and especially in design.
