How to Build a Useful and Functional Design: 6 Vital Elements for a Better User Experience

Modern User Experience Design is an entire journey of the intearaction of the product and a multidisiplinary system that combines accessibility, psychology, physics, functionality and desirability.

In order to build an effective and a practical design, we have to be sure that we made a good User Research, we have a smartly built content, the tool/the product to be served is usable, accessible, functional and desirable.

Lets see what we mean by those 6 elements for a functional and a useful design…

1 – User Research

User Experience Research is mainly understanding the behaviors and the needs of the user and involving the user attitudes. Be it a website, mobile app, device interface or any other digital screen; the requirements of the users have to be investigated in order to make them love, respect and recommend your end-product.

A design without a user research is a work of art which is not a subject matter of User Experience Design. User Experience Design blends art and creativity with a comprehensive research and as well as users’ behaiviours.

2 – Smart Content

Content is a great brand identifier for it shapes the whole body of your product or service. The style, the presence and the language becomes the declaration of the brand in order to create an awareness.

The UX Designer needs a neatly organized content before starting the Design process and therefore s/he can be more productive and creative while designing the end-product.

3 – Accessibility

Regardless of the users’ abilities and/or limitations. The content and the design of a product should be easily accessible and predictible.

It is something different from usability and defines the users ability to use the piece of work. And it is not only something for people with diasbilities, it is considering everyone in terms of physical, social, cultural, economical and cognitive conditions.

4 – Usability

It is globally known that people love your product as long as it is easy-to-use. Why should you have another complexity in your life while things are already complicated at work, at home or with friends?

A good designer fullfills the need of usability and knows the worth of the user’s time and energy. No usability means no time for your product.

5 –Functionality

Functionality in UX Design is forming meaningful experiences for a product or service. It defines the things people can do with a product and determines the features of the subject-matter.

A product should be designed for the requirements of the user and then it becomes functional, but at the same time it should lack all of the unnecessary elements. Products which are simply designed get greater results.

6 – Desirability

A designer’s responsibility is making the product desirable and making it a lovemark. The design, just by itself, should compel the user to deeply want, to deeply feel s/he needs the product. It is something beyond usability and functionality for it brings  pleasure and bondness.
