A word on e-commerce sites
• Resultsarequantifiable.
• Designs tend to be results-oriented.
• There is less motivation to innovate.
• It is easy to fall into the trap of focusing only on numbers.
• Traditionally, metrics like page views, bounce rates, and conversion rates are not enough to measure user experience.

DO NOT FOCUS ON EXECUTING AN IDEA...

A SHIFT IN PERSPECTIVE
Let’s think about...
thinking.
28
Theory of “mindtime”how it works
We have thoughts that address the past, present, and future:
PAST: A record of successes and failures, the standard establishedtodefinetruth
PRESENT: Trends, assets, resources. Involves monitoring the environment to make plans to move forward
FUTURE: New possibilities, exploration, adaptation, scanning ahead
29
our application of “mindtime”
• People come to a site with a purpose, rooted in a particular mindset.
• Understanding how the user’s thoughts are oriented (past, present, or future) can help you engage them with a meaningful experience.
• Understanding the user’s mindset is critical to user-centered design.

Chapter 5: interaction design
36
introduction
AsdefinedbytheInteractionDesignAssociation:
“Interaction Design (IxD) defines the structure and behavior of interactive systems. Interaction Designers strive to create meaningful relationships between people and the products and services that they use, from computers to mobile devices to appliances and beyond. Our practices are evolving with the world; join the conversation.”
37
The main question

•The branches offer various navigation possibilities
•Logical structure (hierarchical structure)
42
Single frame structure

wireframes
• Show the layout of an interface screen.
• Describe each element and behavior.
• Focus on layout, labels, and interactions.
• Avoidfinisheddesignelementssuch as color and photos, instead use placeholders for copy and images.
47
interaction design: Prototypes
• Mimic the functionality of a website
• Iterative
• Getting buy-in
• Can be used to evaluate with users
• It is part of a process, not an artifact
48
The tools
• Microsoft Visio
• Balsamiq
• Axure
• OmniGraffle
• Adobe InDesign
• Adobe Illustrator
• Keynote or PowerPoint

navigation
Users should always know where they are, where they came from, how to get back, and where to go next.
50
Important questions for navigation
What is the purpose of the site?
What actions can the user perform on the site?
Do they understand how to get there?
Will the user’s goals be met?
51
Navigation design: 10 principles
Let users know where they are
Let users know where they were

buttons•Buttons serve the purpose of getting the user to perform an action.
•An effective call to action:
• Draws the user’s attention by being a larger size in comparison to surrounding elements.
• Is positioned prominently on the page.
• Is set apart with ample whitespace.
• Is usually a contrasting color.
• Offers a secondary, alternative action (Sign Up Now or Take A Tour.)
53

54
tabs
•Buttons that are usually aligned side-by-side horizontally
•Distinguished by the fact that they are connected to a larger container
•Websites started using tabs for navigation purposes (Amazon, 1998)
•Excellentmetaphorsofreal-lifefiletabs
•Improve content organization
•Visually pleasing
55
WHEN TO USE TABS
•Grouping related information
•Information that does not need to be compared or accessed simultaneously
•Terse content
56
TAB GUideLineS
•Tabs must look and behave like tabs.
•Place navigation at the top of the page.
•Only have one row of tabs.
•Always have one of the tabs pre-selected.
•Clearly indicate which tab is currently active
and which tabs are currently inactive.
•The active tab should appear connected to
the content area.
57
TAB GUideLineS
•Consider grouping related tabs.
•Arrange tab labels in an order that makes
sense for your users.
•Use title style capitalization.
•Tab labels should be only one-to-two words
and written in plain language.
•Ensure fast response time.
•Do not use tabs to replace breadcrumbs.
58
forms
•Forms have undergone a similar evolution to shopping carts.
•Originally,eachfieldwasfilledoutmanually.
•Now,thereauto-fillpullsyourinformationfromothersitesand
browser history.
59
a successful form
•Indicates the user’s progress when multiple pages are involved.
•Asks only for information that is necessary (no marketing questions.)
•Keepsthefieldssimple,direct,andeasytoread.
•Confirmsthesubmissionoftheform.
60
errors•Traditionally, errors were pointed out using red text or a dialog box.
•Today, the best error recovery indicators use alternatives to text.
•Consider human-to-human interactions and other types of language that a user
can understand beyond text alone.
61
mobile
• People use their mobile devices to enhance productivity, comfort, and pleasure, everywhere and at anytime
• Mobile applications need to focus on a core utility; content must be relevant in the context that it is being used (on the go.)
• They need to be fast and reliable in order to be valuable in those environments.

PERSUASIVE design
There are seven main methods in the persuasive design “arsenal”:
1 Reciprocation - “I like to return favors.”
2 Commitment - “I like to do what I say.”
3 Social Proof - “I go with the flow.”
4 Authority - “I’m more likely to act on information if it’s told by an expert.”
5 Scarcity - “If it’s running out, I want it.”
6 Framing - “I’m influenced by the way prices are framed.”
7 Salience - “I care about what’s relevant to me right now.”

The evolution of the shoppinG cart
