So far, we’ve discussed minimizing complexity by killing or hiding features. But minimizing “perceived” complexity is also important. The amount of visual noise in an interface has a great deal of impact on the perceived complexity of the interface. Keeping visual noise to a bare minimum will make an interface seem easier to use. The...
If you can’t kill a complex feature, the next best thing is to hide it. Too often, rarely used yet complex features take up more screen real estate than frequently used yet simple features. This shouldn’t be. A good user interface should make the most common tasks the most prominent and then hide rare tasks...
The first weapon for fighting the villain of complexity is a hatchet. Studies have found that 80% of users use only 20% of software features. Not only are all those unused features a waste of development time, but they frequently detract rather than add value by making the application more difficult to use.
Degrama is the real deal. They are fast and do a very good job. Rates are better than competitive and the experience has been top notch.
