Psychology in Web Design: Exploring Hidden Influences on Users’ Decision-Making
by Pedro G. Desentupimentos LisboaGood design is something obvious. Great design is something almost transparent. Great web design can help build trust with users and motivate them to take your preferred course of actions and create profitable conversions. It’s not something about the influence on somebody’s will, it’s just about design that doesn’t make people overloaded, but rather engages them and helps them decide. From layouts and typeface to colors and CTAs – each detail matters and plays an important role in user engagement.
The digital landscape is getting more crowded. To create a website design which stands out on top of others is definitely a challenge. At the same time, it has become more difficult to impact the user decision-making process, since people are already used to filter external factors influencing their decisions on the web. However, there are things that aren’t subject to change.
Without further ado, we share with you the results of our web design research and experience of a few UI/UX design and web development companies. Find here 5 handy tips on web design psychology that will help you improve user experience and start a quality interaction with prospective customers.
Use emotion psychology principlesIn psychology, emotion is often defined as a complex state of feeling that results in physical and psychological changes that influence thought and behavior. Therefore, when your design evokes user emotions, it consequently influences user actions and decisions too.
People try to take control of their emotions, to make the right decisions driven by the voice of common sense. However… sometimes we let emotions impact our decisions. Just think of the situation when you’ve made a spontaneous purchase driven by emotions evoked by a nice product design or a desire to follow the mainstream. It’s a simple algorithm, however, it still works.
