UX Myths: Knowing them, Avoiding them

Claudio Ferrara- Digital Marketing Specialist- Master of Endless Blog Scrolling

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...

“Nobody will read this! Web is a fast media!”

“There’s too much white space on this site.”

“I know what my users want, I don’t need testing.”

Let’s go Debunk some myths!

#1 People don’t scroll

“66% of users attention is spent below the fold.”Test results - Chartbeat-com

“90% of Mobile Users start scrolling within 14 seconds.”Stats from MOVR

#2 UX=UI

#3 UX is about Usability

“The aim here is to create happiness. You want people to feel happy before, during and after they have used your product.”Thomas Baekdal

“iPhone makes even failures more enjoyable than succeeding on a Blackberry.”

#4 Mobile Users are easily distracted

72% of Americans use it in bathroom.

#5 Icons Enhance Usability

Please, Share!

“Contrary 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

“Images tend to stick better in people’s mind, enhancing memorability.”Marina Yalanska

“To Burger or not to Burger?”
