Hello world :)
WHAT IS AN UX MYTH?
An UX Myth is a misbelief or a
misconception about different topics in
Experience Design that we keep believing
such as...
β€œNobody will read this! Web
is a fast media!”
β€œThere’s too much white
space on this site.”
β€œI know what my users
want, I don’t need testing.”
Let’s go Debunk some myths!

β€œ66% of users attention is

#5 Icons Enhance Usability
Please, Share!
β€œContrary to intuition, icons
do not necessarily help the
user find a menu item
better than a text label
alone.”
Michael Zuschlag
Icons work when they’re
universally understood
β€œImages tend to stick better
in people’s mind, enhancing
memorability.”
Marina Yalanska
β€œTo Burger or not to Burger?”
