New essay (ii) User Experience: "year" design chaos in the user registry ticket
In the morning, I wanted to register another QQ account for some reason. When I registered, I found an interesting thing, on the user registration page, select "year" as the form option, and select "1895".
Interestingly, do QQ think there are still too few 0.4 billion million users, and I hope the Ancients will also use QQ over there.
(Ha, who can tell me what the verification code is displayed? It seems that QQ not only prevents robot registration, but even human beings are blocked .)
I will stop registering to see how other similar websites do it. Next, I checked happy, everyone, and friends. I don't know. I was shocked by a single query, but all of them were similar.
Why?
Is it true that some people are 114 years old and want to find their school girls on Renren's Internet? 120-year-old people are using QQ to communicate through time and space.
Of course it is impossible. Isn't it because social networking or communication websites don't care about their users?
Apparently not. Whether in the big data era or not, the user age is also a very important reference data for any product.
Besides,The user experience of this drop-down form is very poor. For example, if a person born in 1950 wants to find his own "year", he must keep holding down the mouse and drop it down, so he will miss it a little faster.
We are studying user experience every day. We can see that QQ can directly identify user locations, which is very convenient for users. However, the "year" option seems to have been designed like this for so many years, is there no better solution?
After thinking about it, I want to understand that the problem lies in two aspects:
1. Careless, I think there is nothing to design. Everyone is doing this.
2. They didn't want to understand how to design the "year" item for ease of use.
Well, let me think about who is most sensitive to the user's age. It should be a matchmaking website. I will immediately go to a large-scale matchmaking website.
Open the Registry ticket and see the figure below:
Yes, it's that simple. This is the style you need, which is clear, clear, and accurate. The solution is that simple.
Luo hammer said a word: I do not want to win, I am serious.
Wang Jiawei's "a generation of Masters" also repeatedly said that "they do not forget to remember, they will have an echo.
The user experience is actually very simple, that is, it must first conform to common sense, followed by empathy, and then be serious.
