Another Thursday and summer day and with it the latest entry from the UX Thursday series. Without wasting time on unnecessary introduction and not wanting to miss a sunny afternoon — we invite you to browse today's compilation of articles and news from the industry!
Conscious design
To begin with, we encourage you to read Article published by Smashing Magazine, Designing Age-Inclusive Products: Guidelines And Best Practices. The text discusses the importance of designing products for the elderly, who are increasingly taking advantage of the opportunities that the Internet brings. In the article you will find, among others, guidelines for navigation and a list of good practices, such as providing clear guidelines or minimizing the number of required actions.
Attractive tables
Ali Yosef on the UX Planet blog presents guidelines on the design of attractive and functional tables with data. From the text you will learn what tricks can be used to present each type of data in an accessible and readable way. Add horizontal lines, use shadows and colors, actions on the last column, status labels, sort — all to make it easier for users to understand and interact with data.
And further about the design
We recommend UxPin blog article, which presents 10 pieces of advice for product design in the context of creating outstanding solutions. The priority should be, among others, UX writing, frequent testing of projects and possible constant contact with future users, but is there anything else? In the article you will learn about the benefits of interactive prototyping and avoiding excessive introduction of all changes at once.
Mama Mia!
So a few words about the so-called “wow” moments in the user experience and to make it more interesting — on the example of the ABBA show:) We encourage you to read text in which the author wonders how to achieve the wow effect and provide the audience with moments that exceed their expectations and leave a strong positive impression.
