Jakob Nielsen's 10 Rules of User Interface Design

Haayany 2020. 9. 23. 14:04

1. Visibility of system status

Let users know what's going on.
i.e. the app is working!

2. Match between system and the real world

Use words and form the user already understands
i.e. don't make the user learn a whole new "language"

3. User control and freedom

We all make mistakes. Give the user undos and redos

4. Consistency and standards

Use repetition, consistency, similarity to help foster speed and intuition
i.e. only learn things once

5. Error prevention

Don't create situations where mistakes can happen! And if the user makes a mistake, give them an easy out

6. Recognition rather than recall

Make interactions visible and immediate 
i.e. don't make the interface hard work

7. Flexibility and efficiency of use

Think of your interface like a car. some users want to drive fast, some want to go slow

8. Aesthetic and minimalist design

Unnecessary information distracts from the necessary information

9. Help users recognize, diagnose, and recover from errors.

If there is a problem, provide the best solution, quickly and easily

10. Help and documentation

Provide help when needed, but keep it hidden until it's needed
