These personas are not always obvious, as they may be associated with the product through indirect connections. With Customer-Centric, you can identify the vast web of people your product impacts and explore the complex butterfly effect; doing so reveals which stakeholders are most important and what your product requirements are.

- 18. Ergonomics of User Interface
- 19. Ergonomics guideline Consistency Principle of Least Astonishment. Consistent icons, terms, etc. Simplicity Break complex tasks into simpler tasks. Human Memory Limitation Organize information into small chunks.
- 20. Ergonomics guideline Cognitive Directness Reduce abstraction and reuse real world metaphors. Feedback Provide actionable feedback. Not just an error message. User Centered “There was a problem copying files to your disk” rather than “Error 309”.
- 21. Ergonomics guideline Anthropomor phization Avoid “Have a nice day” messages from your computer. Modality Force users to complete one task before moving to another. Allow escape routes. Attention Nudge user attention, rather than trying to force them. Gentle animations.

- 24. Influence of Design on UX
- 28. Which is nicer?
- 32. Visual cues, such as the arrow on a pop-up menu, help people recognize familiar elements. People learn to associate certain behaviors with specific elements based on their appearance. For example, people recognize push buttons by their rounded shape… — OSX Human Interface Guidelines
- 33. Professor Nänni, author of the exemplary Visual Perception, a book detailing our best-to-date scientific understanding of the processes involved in visual cognition, is saying that rounded rectangles are literally easier on the eye. Put another way, compared to square- edged rectangles, rounded rectangles are more computationally efficient for the human brain.
- 35. To accomplish simplification, user experience designers employ a variety of design exercises to make the UI more efficient. We limit the amount of choices available to a user, reduce the size of content and site copy, progressively disclose UI options, and synthesize unruly navigation elements. Essentially though, these are just exercises in numerical reduction.
- 36. Ask Who? What? Why? & When? to simplify User Interactions.
- 37. Who is your new website for? Who are your users, and how many user personas can they be categorized into? What sets (or will set) your brand(s) and your website apart? What is your user looking for on your site? What problems do you solve for them? Why are users visiting your site? Why are they choosing you over the competition? When is the right time for you to redesign your UX, or to include UX design in your next project?
