5 Common Ux Design Myths You Need To Know
                     5 Common UX
Design Myths You
Need To Know
Introduction
UX services are consistently in high demand when building websites or 
applications. This is because of its focus on enhancing the way users 
experience a new product. Through interface, design, and interactions, 
good UX ensures the product is accessible to users. Each feature 
implemented also adds further value to the user. For the better user 
engagement, it is essential to align proper UX principles with your 
business goals. 
Here, I am going to share common UX Design Myths you need 
to know
1. UX is only about users
2. UX benefits from fewer clicks
3. UX rewards quantity over quality
4. When it doubt, always animate
5. UX lengthens Project Timeline
UX is only about users
UX designers conduct research and analysis to understand the users’ 
needs, pains, and goals. This is to provide them with an optimal 
experience by meeting their expectations and giving them a 
satisfying experience when interacting with the product. UX 
designers understand that trying to focus too narrowly on optimising 
the user experience may fail to achieve a company’s business goals.
UX benefits from fewer 
clicks
Getting users to the content they are looking for with as few 
clicks as possible is a generalisation that is impossible to apply 
to all websites. Recent studies have shown no correlation 
between the number of user clicks and their success in finding 
the content they are looking for Users are found to interact 
differently on various sites (e.g., compare an e-commerce site 
like Amazon.com to a search engine like Google).
UX rewards quantity over 
quality
From the UX perspective, having numerous choices may confuse 
users and even trigger decision paralysis. Decision paralysis is a 
phenomenon where the user overthinks their decisions and ends 
up not interacting with the site. As a result, users may leave 
your website and try to find one that is more user-friendly.
When it doubt, always 
animate
Common mistakes include adding animations that serve no 
purpose and setting durations that are too long or too quick. Not 
using the right type of animation also could have a more 
damaging impact than you think. UX designers refrain from 
applying unnecessary animations so as to not hinder the 
ultimate goal of good UX.  
UX lengthens Project 
Timeline
Another misconception about UX is that it lengthens your project 
timeline and increases the cost of creating the website. As 
illustrated in the image below, it is evident that the UX project 
flow has a longer timeline compared to a typical project flow. 
Solutions can be created, tested, and validated immediately 
instead of following the usual process of building then fixing a 
product.
