It is crucial for designers to understand, on a psychological level, why people are doing what they are doing, what motivates them to use our products, stick to our services and recommend them to others. This awareness will allow us to create optimal user experiences for users.
In this article, we will look at a couple of basic approaches in designing optimal experiences for users based on basic psychological principles.

We are living in an era where everything is changing rapidly. Our current tools will be outnumbered by many other excellent ones in the next few decades. We do not have precise sensors or clever voice assistants yet, but they certainly will be in our lives in the future. We are sensing many things are changing, but we don’t know the manners yet. Some people will invent new disruptive ways of communication and interaction. New interfaces will be born out of these new interactions.
Some people among us define the future by crossing the lines. They can see from totally different angles and match the right interfaces with the right controls. Some options are already at the table: voice, sensors, or maybe mind. We don’t know the exact solutions yet, but designers should be prepared for the future to think about how to design interfaces for tomorrow’s human-computer interaction.

UX has been a buzzword that bounces around the design world, endorsed and adopted by designers anddevelopers. In many cases, highly respected developers who claim to be talking about ”UX” in a product demonstration are in fact showing a large number of UI features. I doubt much that the vague definition may account for this kind of misunderstanding. We’ve heard of UI (User interface) and UX (User Experience). When you build an App or a website with Mockplus, we will talk to you about both. If UX is not UI, What is the exact difference?

Aiming to enhance the user experience, Google has launched a new programme that will bring together a number of users who'll test new services, products, and Android features before their public release. The programme, called Google User Research Experience, will also give participants incentives and rewards. Google is also set to bring research vans that will showcase various unreleased offerings to build new studies from various locations - at least around the US initially.

How healthy–or sick–is the web?
That’s the question Mozilla attempts to answer in its annual Internet Health Report. The 2018 edition, released this week in a multipart interactive story, finds plenty to be optimistic about, like inclusive communities and improved security practices. But it also finds plenty to be troubled by–like censorship and harassment. And in one one of its chapters, it sounds the alarm about the enormous carbon footprint of the web.

When you think of seasonal branding, your first thought might be Black Friday campaigns. However, it encompasses a lot more than a specific event or holiday. While holiday sales do account for more than $80 billion in online sales each year, there is a lot of other time that must be filled in to really get the word out about your brand.
Fortunately, there are four seasons and all the holidays within each one for you to draw on as you think through the experience of your users (UX) and how you can enhance your site. You will need to pick and choose which holidays are most celebrated by your customers and figure out some sales trends before making a plan, of course. Some basic ways to include seasonal branding for UX include:

In product design or user experience design, we are much more familiar with techniques such as user interviews, questionnaires in the initial phase. The raw data collected by the requirement gathering methods are then synthesized by competitor analysis, user flows, use cases, heuristic evaluations. We visualize this information by persona generation and designing visual designs to visualize how the actual product going to be. Somewhere on the line, we have to consider the actual users who will be using this application as well. The world that the real users live in may differ from how we imagine it to be. The proper understanding of how the product that the designers create will help the real users who are outside the development environment would be a definite plus to creating better engaging and usable products.

Your brand is much more than your corporate identity or product name. It’s the very front line of your customer experience. Beyond that iconic logo and catchy tagline, your brand derives its power from the sum of those customer experiences: excitement, inspiration, and motivation in the moment drives more sales. While advertising and marketing seek to influence perception, User Experience is for the mother’s milk of a dynamic brand.
