Book description
It’s the tiny details that delight customers. Creating an
exceptional interface, whether it’s for a web page, an app,
or even products like bank ATMs, leads to loyal customers and word
of mouth recommendations. This guide by UX design leader, Giles
Colborne, focuses on how to create extraordinarily simple
interfaces by paying attention to the details. Complementing his
book Simple and Usable Web, Mobile, and Interaction Design, Giles
offers practical advice on how to create better web and mobile
interactions.

efficient, and satisfying
• Learn from abundant examples of successful designs
• Get concrete time limits for specific website tasks

efficiency, is advantageous for users
• Gain insight into measuring customer satisfaction
• Find out why it’s important to understand your users
and how to go about it
• Learn to balance avoiding errors with streamlined
communication (in other words, how not to treat users like
idiots)
• Anticipate users’ needs without bogging them
down
• Get tips on working with different types of users,
including those who are error prone
