Discussion on several user research design involved in user experience design

Guide: The article is relatively fragmented, the main discussion is the user research and design, short, but the topic and point of view more interesting, can be read by everyone.

How to steal data?
For different business products, in some cases, the inherent characteristics can be used to obtain data from Non-normal channels. To add an example, to get a day of an electronic bookstore transaction order volume? Sooner or later each of the next single, according to the order ID number can determine the day's order, if the day by the hour to split into N points, and then separately, then roughly can calculate the day of the order amount per hour.

Why is the rigorous implementation of user research processes very ineffective?
I do not recommend new product design at the outset to do user research, in fact, in the rapid iteration of the Internet product design process, it is not likely to have too much time to first study after the design. Most of the time is simply "shoot the head", PM based on the application experience and network sense quickly locate the product user group, the typical role. In fact, many of the popular web2.0 products at home and abroad are not "research" results, the corresponding large companies in the laboratory "research" team can not do such a result.

What are the differences between native design and European and American design?
The difference is very large, mainly due to the Chinese and Western culture, as well as the overall quality of netizens decided. Specific differences This topic is too large, such as the order of precedence of the form button, the British design more emphasis on the user's respect, and our Chinese design thinking, the habit of the typical action button on the left to see the first position. There is also the name of the registrant, the English must first Name,last name two entry box, in Chinese in the first name is the surname, last name is the name, and the English is just the opposite. In fact, Chinese surname and name is really necessary to separate the entry of the problem, I also have a skeptical attitude. Because there is a space between the English-name,last name, the Chinese do not seem to have the habit. Including the British date format of month, day, and year is the same reason, the Chinese month more accustomed to numbers.

Do you want to arrange the list of categories by heat?
No, it's totally two ways to organize. From the target point of view, the category list is to let users find content as soon as possible, and the heat is mainly reflected to the user a trend. Classification should provide a logical arrangement (such as alphabetical order of English words) in the user's perspective, and at the very least, select the most important content index, or functional module, based on the operational requirements. Because the most important function is not necessarily the hottest, the hottest content is not necessarily the most important.
