Don't Make Me Think

Implementation Notes

• Make the interface obvious and self-sufficient. Users shouldn't have to think about how something works.
• Use visual hierarchy. Important elements should be more noticeable than less important ones.
• Divide pages into clear areas. This helps users quickly find the information they need.
• Use conventions. Apply familiar elements and patterns so users don't spend time learning.
• Reduce the number of clicks. Minimize the steps needed to complete a task.
• Provide clear cues. Use labels, hints, and instructions to guide users.
• Conduct user testing. Regularly check how real users interact with your product and make improvements based on their behavior.
• Ensure feedback. Users should receive immediate and understandable responses to their actions.
• Minimize noise. Remove unnecessary elements that might distract users from the main task.
• Make pages scannable. Use headings, lists, and highlights so users can quickly skim the content.
