Just the design isn't important, the other factor is as to how much ' interaction ' is present while operating the app. When there is a good amount of interaction going on between consumers and the app, the conversion rates spike and also there is a higher chance of those consumers to return to the app for more services. This also helps build customer loyalty, which is very important for any business. Whereas, if they go through a bad experience there are high chances of them not returning at all and entice others to do the same. They might only consider your service as a last resort. When almost every one these days lacks patience, people tend to make snap judgments and choose not to use a service at all if they have a tiny experience go wrong. People want to understand things easily and fast. The theory of ' you snooze you lose ' works here. Either provide a good service or lose the customer. It's as simple as that.
Making an understandable User Interface that even a layman could get, creates the difference between growth and failure. Making a good first impression and maintaining that is all that a successful company needs to do. You can do that by acquiring the right tools.
A UI Developer is a person who uses front end technology to translate creative design software ideas into reality and infuse it into an application. This aspect while building an app is important since it can make or break your consumer interest. UI Design is nothing but the way how things are placed within an application which makes the navigation of consumer through the app very easy and comforting. It includes both appealing aesthetics and easy functionality of the app, there needs to be a certain balance present between both. The one thing to keep in mind is that we have to communicate our message and provide services through a medium of the screen. It is the only way consumer and owner can interact. So, if that doesn't go smoothly and there are many glitches in the app, it might drive the client away.
This cannot be stressed enough and holds a lot of stock in it. Easy navigation is probably the most important key of user interface and it is true to website as well as applications. The consumer shouldn't have to go through every single option presented in order to get to one thing. You might have come across a site or even an app which has a slow speed or that one option that you are looking for everywhere on the app. These are time consuming and doesn't serve a lot of purpose. Every compartment should be clearly labelled and well defined. It must clear the purpose of why it is there. There should be an appropriate amount of filters presented for a thorough research.
Designs are another thing which interacts with people. Imagine mixing different colors which don't look great but you still put them on your app because you think it's not that important. This though process might drive people away because it looks unsetelling. Whereas if you put in a design which speaks to people or is just looks pleasing to the eye or conveys the idea behind the design in some way, that is the one factor which actually makes a difference. The designs should be simple yet sophisticated. They should be of a good quality. Also, complicated designs just creates confusion and that you have to stay clear of.
It is not possible for an application or a website to be 100% error free. Just like a soap doesn't guarantee your hands to get 100% germ free. But still, we should always strive to give out the best that we can offer. Here comes to role of testing your website or apps before launching them. The app before going for the public use should be tested and checked out thoroughly, every click, every option, every single function even. It should go through a number of testing stages because you cannot afford to give your customer an unfinished or just a lazy product.
Even though almost every month there comes some new technology and there is a need to update your app and keep up with the new trends, still the one thing that should kept in mind before doing any changes is to not change the entire look or how the app functions. You must maintain consistency as well as a level of familiarity to your application. People don't like changes at first and they learn how to navigate their way around the application. You must change that with time but not instantly.
Every day our service providers lose so many customers just because of one reason and that is, they are not good communicators. They don't provide a good customer service. Every company should provide a medium through which one can express their grievances and complaints in a formal manner. Do you know, there are so many apps which are operating on a large platform but still don't provide a good service ? That is the reason why they are continuously losing customers here and there.
The way you layout your webpage or any page for that matter, should have a clear purpose and serve it effectively. The information should be very well curated, specifically placed and not be cramped or crowded in any way. These small details increase readeablility to a large extent. Also, only if the page layout is well made then only it would create curiosity on the readers mind.
It is a common method of User Interface design. Clear instructions should be given for Titles, Subtitles, Headings (H1, H2, H3, H4), Body Text, Captions as well as the Taglines.
Inconsistent or consistent use of color combinations can make or break your interaction with the customer. It is crucial and yes, that is a fact. There are specific pairings that work and you can find that kind of information anywhere. So, infuse different colors in the app or website and try to make it interactive.
There are mainly only a few user interface elements i.e.
1. Input Control : buttons, text fields, checkboxes, radio buttons, dropdown lists, list boxes, toggles, date field
2. Navigational Components : breadcrumb, slider, search field, pagination, slider, tags, icons
3. Informational Components : tooltips, icons, progress bar, notifications, message boxes, modal windows
4. Containers: accordion
It shouldn't be the job of the consumer to learn their way around operating a mobile application and then again go through the hard labor of learning the same thing again on a website. Both should be carefully made in the most similar way as possible. there would obviously be a few changes but the general functions should be similar.
All the buttons and functions should workAll the functions provided should work fluently and the consumer should be able to avail them effortlessly. You have to make sure of this factor and ensure that it does work as they are intended to be doing so.
Control of UserNavigating through the app should be like a game for the consumer. They should be in control of what the character does, how many car he burns, which helicopter he chooses to fly. You must let the user take control of what he does, which videos they play. You can always persuade them to availing the service by giving advertisements but the final choice should be of the user only.
Never make them waitIt is no surprise that people want to do whatever they want to do, when they want to do it, fast. The users have the attention span of a 10 year old, the minute the site asks them to wait or the longer it takes to load it, the more it drives him/her away from actually using the service/product. But if the loading is non negotiable, try to make the loading pages look attractive and of quality. That somehow retains the customer till a limited period of time.
Fill the screen with relevant contentThe content you put out must be relevant and informative. It should serve some purpose and shouldn't be placed there to just fill up space. The content which is considered informative should literally convey the desired message in easy words which is understandable. The ' extra ' information is just distracting and interferes with the customer from engaging with the real, relevant, informative content. Don't let your own information or content compete for attention against one another. This is complex and creates confusion. Also, keep the advertisements placed in a way that doesn't go unnoticed by the consumer and also persuades him/her at the same time.
