  1. Craigslist’s Unconventional User Experience

    Evolution of XD Principles

    Challenging XD conventions

    A column by Dashiel Neimark
    June 19, 2017

    I’m going to open my new column Evolution of XD Principles with a quotation that actually contradicts my position:

    “If you do it right, it will last forever.”—Massimo Vignelli

    He’s wrong. Massimo is a very well-known, well-respected Italian designer who has impressed the world by successfully innovating products in a variety of disparate product spaces. But he’s wrong.

    Design should always accomplish one key thing: demonstrate a thorough understanding of the people who will engage with a solution. A design should accommodate the well-defined mental model of those engaging with an experience. However, a challenge for UX designers is this: mental models represent collections of knowledge—and knowledge is never static. Forever is a fallacy.

    With this premise in mind, my goal for this column is to write a series of articles that challenge traditional experience-design principles in a way that explores next-generation—and forgotten, last-generation—experience-design strategies.

    Join me, as I explore such topics as why ugly products sometimes succeed, how some companies can dictate rather than accommodate usability patterns, and the hidden value of a user experience with a tinge of dishonesty. I’ll be leading you on a journey that will take us off the beaten path—one on which the only constant is change. Read More

  2. Harnessing the Power of User-Generated Content in eCommerce

    March 4, 2024

    In the world of ecommerce, creating a seamless, highly engaging user experience is paramount. One thing that can significantly enhance the user experience is user-generated content (UGC). UGC encompasses a wide range of content, including customer reviews, photos, videos, and social-media interactions, all of which can transform the way users interact with an online store. In this article, I’ll explore how ecommerce companies can harness UGC to create more captivating and trustworthy ecommerce experiences.

    The Trust Factor

    In the world of ecommerce, trust is the foundation of every successful transaction, and user-generated content is the linchpin of trust-building. This is particularly true of customer reviews, which offer unfiltered, authentic insights that come directly from customers and serve as invaluable social proof that instills confidence in potential buyers.

  3. Using Data Analytics to Optimize the In-Store and Online Retail Experience

    July 22, 2024

    To retain their customers, retail companies are now interacting with them in new ways that speed up their operations and, ultimately, increase their profits. While businesses have designed their technology and data analytics primarily for use outside the store, they’re also making them work on the inside.

    By using this technology, retailers can now process and analyze data both inside the store and online. People are no longer the only subjects of data analytics. The applications that customers use to interact with retail stores also leverage data analytics to better understand the business. As a result, retailers can now seriously reconsider their consumer experience through data analytics—for example, through the use of optimal inventory management and recommendations. Read More
