Improve UX success by measuring, managing, and prioritizing design debt. We love Joana Cerejo’s article (by way of Juan Fernando Pacheco) as a practical guide to measuring and managing design debt, focusing on transforming businesses into user-centered successes. Design debt is akin to technical debt, reflecting the accumulated effects of past design and development decisions that negatively impact user experience. Check out her post: https://lnkd.in/gFXCCQqa Types of design debt: UX design debt ↳Directly affects business goals by impacting adoption rates, learnability, and user satisfaction. Operational design debt ↳Results from inefficient processes and poor organizational structures supporting design and development teams. Visual design debt ↳UI inconsistencies that undermine the product’s credibility. Testing and research debt ↳Lack of UX research and testing leads to poor user experiences and lower product adoption. Understanding and addressing design debt is necessary for enhancing user satisfaction and achieving business success. Joana emphasizes the importance of a strategic approach to managing design debt, aligning design improvements with business objectives for optimal results. We agree! Using iterative design and continuous research with Helio is an amazing way to reduce your design debt and create a business lift. #uxresearch #productdiscovery #marketresearch #productdesign

As I said in my previous post, I wanted to share the video with the talk on accessibility in digital products given by Isaura Fontcuberta at the last Friends of Figma Barcelona for those of you who couldn't attend. When we read the word ‘disability’, probably the first thing that comes to mind is a blind person or a person in a wheelchair. That was the first thing that came to my mind when Isaura asked us that question during her talk. Actually, the word ‘disability’ refers to the situation of a person who, due to long-term physical, sensory, intellectual or mental conditions, has difficulties in participating or being included in society. We have probably all found ourselves in a situation of disability at some point in our lives, perhaps due to temporary injuries, etc. 👉 More than 15% of the world's population lives with some kind of disability. In Spain it is 10% of the population. Ensuring that our products are accessible to all not only extends our reach, but also promotes inclusion and equality. 👉 From 2025, A11y laws will start to apply in the EU and all our products will have to be able to ensure accessibility. Beyond the fact that a law will impose that on us, we cannot think about usability without talking about accessibility. In this talk you will find a lot of keys to start designing with an accessibility type of mind. Once again thanks Isaura Fontcuberta and Friends of Figma Barcelona for organizing this kind of talks. A small step for a more inclusive world. 🙏 🌎

5 key UX secrets startups should know to build successful apps: ✏️ Prioritise user research and testing Startups often rush to get an MVP out the door, but investing time upfront in user research and iterative testing is crucial. Understanding your target users’ needs, pain points, and behaviours will allow you to design an intuitive, user-centered app. ✏️ Focus on simplicity and ease-of-use Startup apps need to provide value quickly. Avoid feature bloat and prioritize a clean, minimalist UI that guides users intuitively through core tasks. Eliminate any unnecessary complexity or clutter. ✏️ Optimise for mobile-first experiences Since many startup app users will be on-the-go, it’s essential to design for mobile devices first. Ensure your app’s layout, navigation, and functionality are seamless on smaller screens. ✏️ Leverage behavioural psychology Incorporate psychology-backed design principles that encourage user engagement and retention. This could include elements like progress indicators, reward systems, or responsive feedback. ✏️ Continuously iterate and improve UX/UI is an ongoing process, not a one-time project. Regularly collect user feedback, track analytics, and make data-driven refinements to your app’s design. Stay adaptable to changing user needs.

Vitaly Friedman explores how to simplify the complexity of decision trees for users, especially from a user experience (UX) perspective. He talks about the “breadcrumbs” approach, where each question becomes a visual clue that guides users through the decision-making process. In addition, he also talks about design and interactivity, factors that help us to improve the user experience.
