The humble design proposal is, perhaps, the most crucial text a UX/UI designer will ever write.

In other words, when you design a page that shows visitors the wonderful ways the product or service helped other customers, they’re more likely to believe that it can help them too. “Above the fold” is the part of

You’ve heard about human-centered design. It’s one of the most omnipresent design philosophies in UX/UI. But what about user-centered design (UCD)? These two terms sound similar, but there are differences between them, and you should consider both principles when designing future prototypes. In short: Human-centered design (HCD) considers the psychological/emotional preferences of users that engage
