Internet product design should have the courage to reconstruct

Web page Production WEBJX article introduction: Website design-product refactoring.

Obscurity also has a career, and knowledge is boundless.

In his life, people always progress constantly, and each stage of the understanding with knowledge, vision, experience growth and corresponding growth. There is a lot of room for correction when you look back at the many decisions you've made. Unfortunately, the past can not be amended, but the product is OK. You may not realize the needs of the previous users, or because of the shortcomings of the previous thinking caused by the product short-sighted, you still have the opportunity to refactor your product.

Refactoring, is to deny yourself, if you have the courage to deny your once proud products, it proves that you mature, grow up, these times you are constantly moving forward. If you look at what you've done for many years and still don't know what to do, it's just that you haven't made any progress in a few years. have experienced the project to do the change, change to do, and then the departments will complain at that time not sure, how did not want to do so, as long as it is involved in the project, there will be subjectivity, there will be defects, we do not worry about is a defect, but fear of the courage to face defects. Ming know a defective product, is done on the line to make changes, or to extend the duration of the revision of the online. Read an article by a technician from Sina Weibo, the effect is to complain about Sina Weibo's product managers often change demand, so that technology can not reconstruct the entire product structure, there is his own demand is often not paid attention, the top ignored. Constant change of demand is common, but also good, the same will be terrible. I am in favor of technical trimming demand, perfect demand, even put forward the demand, but to put forward the demand not to have too much hope, the technical demand is generally from the project and past experience, it is difficult to have the time and energy to analyze what the user is thinking, in need of what.

Once a product, often go to a guest suit, to understand what the user in the problem of the card, in which link not to go on. Later found, in fact, this product is not accustomed to the user group is not used to the Internet that kind of, can not be counted as netizens, most of the Q people, the operation of the site is unfamiliar, usually on the last QQ, get a space, and then off the line. Was asked a question about the net silver payment, from how to install net silver, this is the bank thing, but we also did, has been to how to pay all the commentary, the results of the operation or failure, looking for a half-day reason is not inserted in the bank's U shield. In the face of such a group of users, the whole process to do a considerable amount of SB to do, or will block 70% of users, but unfortunately, the process did not do SB, is the ordinary payment process, not even the text description. Later proposed to modify the scheme, but also by technology despise a, said that idiots will use this process, and everyone is using, there is no need to change so silly. has been deadlocked, then thought of a way, let technology to do a few days of customer service, after the change is quite smooth, and then kept listening to him muttering, how Chinese netizens will be at this level.

Refactoring another important gene is to constantly make products more consistent with the user's habits, and constantly meet the needs of users. This can be the product development before, of course, the best solution, can also be product development, product on the line after the reconstruction is very normal, that is, the so-called revision. However, the requirements of product development in general is not recognized, often because to catch the duration of the technology to bring the cost of restructuring, this time to modify the demand and guarantee the duration of the words, often will aggravate the burden of technology development. But even if it's heavier, I think it's worth it.

is going through a website that is constantly revising the development of the needs, but the individual feel still not enough to modify, buried a hidden trouble if not now, once the site online promotion of good, will be a very large chicken ribs, after the revision, the price should be more than the current revision. As a product designer, in the beginning did not think of this, feel very guilty, and even sometimes began to doubt themselves. But fortunately, in the site has not been online has been found, even now do not change, the heart will also understand the design of the defects in the two, even when the revision can be more clear.

Refactor your product, think a little more, think more on the basis of a little more, let the product more perfect, at least in the existing knowledge structure background to achieve the ultimate, this is a matter of personal ability, but you can in your ability to play the best products, do not want to be lazy. If some time later because of your thinking, the expansion of knowledge, and have new things, you can consider adding functional points or even complete revision, this is another situation.

Last seen a data, about 400 million netizens in China, 300 million are Q people, said the internet changes life, but this 300 million Q people do not belong to this list, they can not enjoy the High-tech life changes, not intellectual problems, is a product problem. Products of the abstruse difficult to use, intentionally or unintentionally put these Q people in the digital life outside. For example, I've spent 2 hours not figuring out how Foursquare.com's location-based service SNS operates. Domestic has a group of Foursquare followers, the public reviews also on a similar function, but I still did not understand a smooth operation of the process.

Have the courage to restructure, have the courage to face, have the courage to admit failure, but you also have the courage to put forward a better plan. There is no 100% perfect, we can only achieve the trend of perfection. This is the product design.
