You have a website, which is fantastic! Is it easy to use, though? A beautiful website is useless if users become annoyed trying to use it.
Let’s examine what, in the opinion of a UI/UX designer, truly makes a website user-friendly.
Let’s break down what makes a website actually user-friendly, from a UI/UX designer’s lens.
- Clear Navigation
Users should instantly know where to go. Keep menus simple and avoid overwhelming them with too many options.
- Mobile Responsiveness
Over 60% of traffic now comes from mobile devices. If your website isn’t optimized for smaller screens, you’re losing potential customers.
- Fast Load Time
No one waits more than 3 seconds. Compress images, minimize scripts, and invest in quality hosting.
- Consistent Visuals
Colors, fonts, buttons — consistency builds familiarity and trust. Inconsistency creates confusion.
