What is UX Design Checklist?
The UX design checklist is a series of guidelines that help ensure your website or app provides the best possible user experience. By following these simple rules, you can ensure your site is easy to use and navigate while providing all the information and functionality that users need.
How can you have a good UX checklist?
Keep it simple
When it comes to UX design, less is almost always more. Users should be able to easily find what they’re looking for on your site without being overwhelmed by too much information or too many choices. Stick to the essentials and eliminate anything that isn’t necessary.
Make it easy to navigate
Your site should be easy to navigate so users can find what they need without difficulty. All the most important information and features should be easily accessible from the home page and easy to click through to other pages on your site.
Use clear and concise language
The language you use on your site should be clear and concise so users can understand what you’re saying without any confusion. Avoid using jargon or technical terms that might not be familiar to everyone, and make sure all your text is easy to read.
Use high-quality visuals
Visuals are an important part of UX design, so using high-quality images and videos relevant to your content is important. Ensure your visuals are sized appropriately and load quickly, so users don’t have to wait long for them to appear.
Pay attention to detail
Little things can make a big difference in UX design, so paying attention to detail is important. From the layout of your site to the way your buttons look, every element of your visual design should be well thought out and carefully executed.
Following these simple guidelines, you can create a website or app that provides an excellent user experience. Keep these tips in mind as you work on your next project, and you’ll be sure to create something that users will love.
A UX design Checklist
Research:
UX Data analysis
To make the most of analytics data, UX professionals need to integrate this data where it can add value to qualitative processes instead of distracting resources.
User Feedback
Understand user needs: plan research, prepare for sessions, and share and analyze findings.
Plan:
User story
User Stories, User Scenarios, and Use Cases can all help you better understand who your users are. Also, you can make sure that what matters to them makes its way to your project spec.
User flow
Good interfaces require flows just as much as individual screens. Based on the scenarios you created, you can create a user flow to use later to review the journey and create wireframes on top of each step.
Red routes
Define red routes for your product, and you’ll be able to identify, prioritize and eliminate any usability obstacles on key user journeys.
Explore:
Brainstorm & sketch
Find a team, get together and sketch, discuss, vote, and disrupt for creation.
Wireframing
A wireframe is the two-dimensional outline of a website or app. Wireframes give a clear overview about the page structure, layout and information architecture. Also, they also provide an overview of intended behaviors and functionality.
Prototype
A prototype is a simulation or sample version of a final product, which the UX team’s uses for testing before launch.
Communicate:
Language
Yet many users still experience products that lack personality or are difficult to understand because of language. The context of your product and make sure they know you.
Accessibility
Your service should be available to all who need it, even those not used by public officials.
Create:
UI elements
Create your guidelines. Start small, then create pages. Real-life pattern libraries, code standards documents, and content style guide to reusing elements and patterns.
Gestures
Gesture interactions have a lot of potentials to make experiences easier and more fun.
Feedbacks:
Waiting times
The perceived speed of your website/mobile app is arguably the most important problem that could make your users feel frustrated or anxious.
Errors
Find out what and where the user’s error is. This means your error because it’s your fault.
Finalize:
Finalize layout
It’s time to show off your design and make it the right way.
Use of images and icons
Context is a strong influence on the use of icons or images. Most icons and text labels are necessary to communicate the meaning and reduce ambiguity.
Font & colors hierarchy (visual hierarchy)
Visual hierarchy is a better term that graphic designers have used for a long time. It’s a bit more technical than our favorite words, but it nicely encapsulates the problem we’re dealing with and the solution we can strive for.
Delight:
Microcopy
Microcopies are the small little words and sentences you put on your brand, on a website, in an app, or on a product.
Transitions
Transitions are animated transitions that appear on pages between pages. They give websites that extra edge that makes them stand out and worth a look.
Analyze:
AB Test plan
Plan your AB Test and, if possible, a short roadmap for improvements. You are not trying to improve KPIs, but rather learning something.
Test
UX Lab, Survey, Sessions Recording… Test, Observe and Fix, Test, Observe and Fix and Test, Observe and Fix.
Conclusion.
During the design process, some flaws in your product may go unnoticed. Those unseen little things can do a lot to hurt the user experience. Putting together the list of points for you to check before the design can help you avoid having such issues in your lunch product.
