It's cool, but it's viable. Interactive design user experience design for the needs to be decided

Article Description: user experience.

First, for example, when you were in charge of the Education and Training website, have received such a project, the demand side want to do a full of fun novice access channel, the page to dazzle, preferably flash, users need to play like a game on the page to do interaction, and then the site's various functions and effects through the game process to show the user. In fact, there is no bad, increased the interest of the site, but, such a hype novice primer, more complex than the site itself, and the site itself is not a fun route, whether it is necessary to do so?

As an interactive designer, you often receive similar, seemingly flashy, but workable, requirements, so you send the following email to the demand side to make the concept of UE and UCD universal.

Message body:

We need to use the user process, to achieve a minimalist, the user's memory burden to a minimum, so that all pages, in the user's own control. Real user experience done good site, is to let users in the process of using, forget the existence of human-computer interaction, let him feel, himself into a very familiar with the control of the interface, want to go where is so natural, free.

For example: We see a door, not through the complex brain thinking process, the subconscious to push away, and into the room later, attracted us is the contents of the room, but at this moment, for the opening of this action, very few people will remember. The next time, or the same hesitate to open the door, opened the doors, for this action, there is still no memory, but the key is every time in the room to get what they want. This is equivalent to, regardless of the user from which entrance into the site, can quickly and accurately, without thinking to reach the page he wants to go, but for the middle how to enter the process, should be no memory, no thinking, at a glance.

What we want to let users remember is not how beautiful our site is, how artistic the page is, but what this site can really bring value to him. Of course, our page, in the pursuit of ease of use at the same time, should be beautiful, generous, engaging, comfortable.

"Simplicity is beauty", here speaking of simplicity, not simple, not an understatement of the design, but, in need of attention, we have to do the best to the design to exquisite; In the place that does not need attention, we have to do a good job of laying the groundwork, not too much to show off the design, All of our designs are designed to better enable the user to use, in order to faster and more convenient to help users solve problems.

Ps. After the mail, the effect is good, the quality of demand significantly improved.
