Useability Principles
-
Effectiveness
Sign-Up Page
Keep the form short and simple (e.g., only ask for name and email)
-
Admin Page
-
Display clear status messages (e.g., “Subscription confirmed” or “Email sent”)
Saftey
Sign-Up Page
Validate email inputs (e.g., check for valid email format)
-
-
Utility
-
Admin Page
Enable bulk actions (e.g., Delete)
-
Learnability
Sign-Up Page
Use clear instructions (e.g., “Enter your email to subscribe”)
Provide immediate feedback (e.g., “Thank you for subscribing!”)
Admin Page
-
Maintain a consistent UI (e.g., buttons and forms should follow a standard layout)
Visual Communication
Elements
Space
-
Add padding between sections (e.g., the heading, input field, and button) for a clean layout
Texture
Add a subtle background pattern (e.g., a light paper texture) to make the design more dynamic
-
Shape
Use rounded corners for input fields and buttons to create a modern, friendly feel
Implement geometric icons (e.g., an envelope for email input) to reinforce functionality
Tone
Ensure high contrast between text and background for readability (e.g., dark text on a light background)
-
colour
Use a bright coloured buttons (e.g., orange or blue) to draw attention to the "Subscribe" button
-
Proportions
Ratio and size. Look for the "Golden Ratio". In mathematics, two quantities are in the golden ratio if their ratio is the same as the ratio of their sum to the larger of the two quantities
Principels
Balance
Arrangement of components of a visual communication in relation to a real or implied central axis / equilibrium / symmetry
Contrast
Contrast refers to opposing aesthetic qualities (i.e., what you see when you compare things that are different) and can be used for to create emphasis or focal point
Proximity
Where elements are positioned or grouped in relation to each other, perhaps 'clumping' elements near each other that have a perceived relationship (or avoiding those that don't)
Harmony
Interpreting the proximity to make sure components as a whole provide valuable meaning and are complementary across the interface. For example, sometimes it is better to split datasets across screens for example to avoid confusion
Alignment
Elements should 'line up', commonly used in HTML sign up forms
Repition
Repeated elements (such as page constructs, sections or product layouts) which helps predictability
