Title: Why most UX is shite
Context: “Shite” means “shit” for my American readers…
Synopsis: We all love the clearly delineated lists of UX best practices (and I have certainly shared in excess of my fair share of them). They are always so compact and neat and structured and well, let’s be honest, bullshit. If good user experience was as simple as following a short list of instructions, everyone would being doing it right? No, we need something more. Like a list of what NOT to do when designing user experiences! Am I right? So stop doing what people are telling you to do and start stopping doing what people are telling you not to do. Or something to that effect.
Best Bit: “If you want better UX, stop looking at your design team and whichever new sexy UI you’ve seen this week, take a long hard look at your organisation and whether it (sic) caring about UX is part of its cultural make up and what evidence there is, beneath the interface, of this being true.”
