5 UI/UX Design Myths You Need To Stop Believing In Today

UI/UX design is a trending buzzword in the digital world today. And it is obvious that it is surrounded by a lot of myths. Myths that are stopping you from leveraging its full potential for your business website. And as we are halfway down 2022, it is high time you stop believing in these UI/UX design myths.

Below I have tried to debunk 5 of the most common UI/UX design myths

1. UI/UX Design is Expensive

It depends on who you hire for the job. If you hire freelance UI/UX designers who keep ditching your project midway, the overall cost will inevitably be higher. Also if you hire UI/UX designers in-house for just 1 project, the overheads are going to look expensive too. But if you hire the right UI/UX design agency you can reliable and result-oriented services at a pretty affordable cost. 

2. More Choice Means Higher Satisfaction

Most designers feel that giving end-users more options on the site is a good practice. However, that may not be always true. Having some options does give users a sense of control which they appreciate. But too many choices can lead to an information overload and prevent quick decision-making. And as the time required to take the decisions increases, users get frustrated and might also leave without converting. The best practice is to have an optimum number of options and highlight recommended options to aid decision-making. 

3. Something That Looks Good Is Always Better

The beauty of the user interface does not always translate to a better user experience. Thus, something that looks good is not always better. It is possible that you create a very beautiful navigational menu for your latest business mobile app. But if users don’t intuitively know how to use the menu, it will become a cause of concern. Thus, usability always matters more than looks in UI/UX design.

4. UI/UX Design Is A One-Time Thing

Business situations, user preferences, market trends, and best practices change with time. If you don’t change your user interface and user experience design to keep up with these changes, you would get behind competitors.

5. Usability Testing Is Not Important

Many business owners feel that if they have invested money in hiring UI/UX designers there is no need to further get the services of quality analysts and testers. But usability testing is very important and should be done. No matter how great the design is unless it is useable it is not worth anything. And you can only find out about the usability of your design by getting the services of QAs.
