Checklist for a Good Interface

The following checklist summarizes the information described previously. Use it to help you confirm that your interface is designed to provide the best user experience:

• Tasks are easily accessed and started in a minimum number of steps.
• Users do not have to read instructions before using your interface.
• Interface does not use jargon in its user interface task and folder text.
• Use industry-specific or technical terms only if they are clearly understood by the user.
• Color is used sparingly to enhance the experience
• Shape and layout provide guidance and direction to guide the user’s tasks
