User Experience is how the user interacts with your product through usability, accessibility, and desirability. But sometimes your design can be a total waste because there are laws of UX design that you didn’t follow. So here are the laws you need to follow for an efficient product.

Von Restorff Effect

Also known as the Isolation Effect, predicts that when multiple similar objects are present, the one that differs from the rest is most likely remembered. In design, you can make that important information or key actions more distinctive than others.

Hick’s Law

This is where how long to make a decision depends on how many and how complex the choices are. For example, too many choices might take the user a long time to choose. So try to simplify these things. Try not to make overwhelming users by highlighting the recommended options.

Fitts’s Law

Similar to Hick’s Law, Fitt’s Law measures how long the target will take to acquire based on the distance and size of the target. You can shorten the time by making it huge enough and placed on the bottom to make it easy to reach.

Zeigarnik Effect

The Zeigarnik effect states that incomplete or interrupted tasks are most likely to be remembered. You could help the users remember certain uncompleted tasks by adding a simple progress bar.

Serial Position Effect

This effect states that the first and the last terms are most likely remembered. Placing the least important items in the middle of the list and the key information on the first and last series is a good rule of thumb.

Law of Common Region

Elements can be grouped together, right? Well, the Law of Common Region expresses that elements are grouped together when they share an area with a clear boundary between them. Consider adding a border to an element or defining a background behind an element to create a common region.

Law of Proximity
