2010 User experience websites / Apps

Tweet this post

User experience is just not presenting the data “neat”, user need to remember and when user leaves the website or app, all that they are left with is unique User experience and feel like return back to the site again.

For best user experience, mainly i think one needs to keep below 3 things in the website designing

1. Simplicity

2. Fast loading

3. Security

It is really important for the Ux Professional to be a good presenter, have good observation, analytical skills, keen on graphic designing, understand human psychology, be a creative thinker and problem solver.

Very essential to balancing aesthetics and usability elements for given functionality/context, Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

Usability research studies have shown that user experience is the key for the first time users and returning users for their impression of the web / app. Lacking proper ease of use when building a website is found to be a way to lose customers.

User experience design - user interfaces can support the role of story telling. Stories that share information, make it interesting, entertaining, challenges that are faced, and bring different perspectives together. With the user response to a story, it totally makes sense in developing best user experience for products. Also as part of collaboration is delivering and receiving feedback, great design succeeds through iteration.

Some of my favorite websites / mobile apps 2010

1. “new’ Twitter website design – love the new user experience, design is kept simple and easier to discover for new users, finding content is super easy now.

2. Love the new iPhone 4 user experience – talking about Apple guys another favorite app is Flipboard app designed for high-end user design experience, glossy – both the presentation and functionality are really cool.

3. Twitters ipad App is a perfect example of reshaping the web design – i think the iPad is actually changing the way websites are designed – it is not anything but the truth that growing number of companies have found that their iPad apps offer better usability than their websites, and so the websites are updated to match the apps. o match the former.

4. GetGlue and Cooltwist websites have cool design experience

5. Quora website has very user friendly interactions, easily navigatable and keeps user engaging.

6. Clearleft website is clean and neat

Not so much favorites:

1. Nandos website is very slow and hanging
