Product UX

There are many philosophies around how to evaluate a good product design.

I like to quote 2 sources of inspiration:

  • The UX Pyramid:
  • 8 Steps of an Intuitive Design from Everett McKay book that in my mind fits in the Conveniency/Pleasurable steps above.

The way I think about user experience and design is in 3 folds (in priority order):

  1. It has to be functional by solving the customer problem in a reliable way
  2. The experience is intuitive by being able to complete the task without reasoning, experimenting, documentation, training or memorization, and
  3. It is a delight to use it.
