Let’s BE REAL. You DOn’t Want to Read all of this.
Using too many words/ACTIONS in UX/UI design can overwhelm users, leading to frustration & disengagement.
Now Watch ME BREAK THese RULEs REAL QUICK.
A good UX designer prioritizes recognition over recall; a fundamental principle of usability.
Effective design embraces simplicity.
The best designs empower users through ease, not excess.

-
The goal is simple; make it easy. Things can look fantastic but if your user gets tired on your site, good luck.
-
The real win is when people keep coming back, not just saying 'nice design.’
-
Carwashes, grocery store checkouts, & all streaming services prove this. Standards beat trends often (cries in windows 8).
This was 65 words btw.
