⚑️ UI design tip

I’ve been doing buttons wrong! 😱 Have you? πŸ€”

After nearly 2 decades looking at buttons, I've noticed that most of them have usability and accessibility issues.

Here are some quick and practical tips to avoid common mistakes πŸ‘‡

#design #uidesign #uxdesign Image
βœ… Define 3 buttons styles (primary, secondary and tertiary) to display actions of varying importance.

βœ… Ensure buttons have a clear visual hierarchy that isn't reliant on colour alone.
βœ… Ensure contrast ratio of the button shape is at least 3:1 to meet WCAG 2.1 level AA accessibility requirements.

βœ… Ensure button text contrast ratio is at least 4.5:1.

βœ… Use a large target area (at least 48pt by 48pt) to ensure people can easily select buttons.

πŸ“ Product/UX design methods mindmap

A handy guide to help you decide when to use what UX methods.

1️⃣ Understand
2️⃣ Define
3️⃣ Ideate
4️⃣ Execute
5️⃣ Validate

🧡 A thread

via @Mei_big_eyes #design #uxdesign #uxui #productdesign
1️⃣ Understand

In the understand phase, we put ourselves in the users’ shoes and understand their likes & dislikes, context, needs, pain points, etc.

Meanwhile, we learn about the business: What is the money-making model? What are the metrics to measure business success?
2️⃣ Define

In the Define phase, we work with the team, especially the product manager to discover problems and opportunities.

The ability to gather insights, synthesize data, and abstract input to a problem is very important.
