Dev Diaries: Day 9- Setting a good base!

Dev Diaries, Masterlist

June 5, 2023

Okie dokie!

Today, my goal is to finish up the UX Prototyping course. It's a bit boring because I'm not planning on using these programs myself. I want a good understanding of the basics of most programs though. It's probably a ✨sparkle worry ✨ issue, but hey. I did see a lot of posts and content by UX designers saying that they wish they knew more programs. It makes sense to me, but I love learning. 😋

I'll probably get in a HMTL and/or CSS course today. I did the math...it's about 40+ hours of video time between the two courses. That's a lot. I want to make sure I really absorb it so I'm gonna take a bit longer. I don't plan on finishing them this week, that is for sure. I'm going for balance this month, no cramming! 😅😂

I am going to start my first portfolio project today!!! I don't know which one I'm gonna do yet, but I'm gonna do it! I'll probably find a challenge somewhere first, maybe. Even if it doesn't make it to my portfolio, it will be good practice. I have a project of sorts that I was working on, but I'm not sure it would work for this. It will take awhile to get done though, so I'll be doing it along with the other projects.

The AI got to me!

So, you know how I said I was gonna get seduced by the AI dev classes... They found me, and I think I'm a goner. 😋😁 I wanna take courses that discuss it but don't cover any coding yet. Like I said yesterday, I need to know what it's gonna do before I learn how.

I'm also looking at Learning Experience Design. This is something I've always been interested. Might as well take a course on it while it's available. Try it on for size, if you will...

P.S. I'm not sure I like having a list of things I'm "supposed" to do each day. I have tried it a couple times and it feels like a demand (no bueno) and I have more fun when it's just written about instead...😊

I have a list of things I wanna get done eventually and that tend to work better. Making a daily list just adds too much to do. Little lists tend to turn into big lists no matter what I do. If I make something bite size, I just take bigger bites...

Here's to code snacking! 😂🥰

My name is Danielle, and I was a tumblr user back in college (more than ten years ago…) and am honestly kinda psyched to be back here. I love tumblrites (tumblrinos? tumblees? tumblrz?) passion for art and fanart. I’m in my mid thirties so I’m very aware how uncool I am.

By day I work in UX (visual design & accessibility), by night I paint stuff from things I like. I went to art school and drew and painted my whole life, but once I graduated college and began working as a creative in Real Life™ I lost a lot of my passion and energy for creating stuff.

I got an iPad a couple years ago and have been painting consistently since summer 2021. I initially was hesitant about doing fanart, but that was just my own “people won’t take me seriously if I do it” insecurities. And I’ve come to find I love doing fanart and I love how excited people get for it.

How to Create User Personas for Effective UX Design

User personas are a useful tool in UX design. A user persona is a fictional representation of a target user group that assists designers in understanding their users' needs, motivations, and behaviours.

We will look at how to create user personas for effective UX design in this article.

Step 1: Conducting Research and Gathering Data

Conducting research and collecting data is the first step in creating user personas. This can be accomplished through a variety of methods, including surveys, interviews, and usability testing.

The goal is to collect data on the target user group, such as demographics, needs, motivations, and pain points.

Some common data collection methods for user personas include:

Surveys: Surveys are useful for gathering quantitative information about user demographics, behaviours, and preferences.

Interviews can be used to collect qualitative data on user motivations, goals, and pain points.

Usability testing is a technique for observing user behaviour and identifying areas of difficulty or frustration in the user experience.

Step 2: Look for Patterns and Insights

After gathering data, the next step is to look for patterns and insights. This entails analysing data to identify similarities and differences among the target user group. Some common areas to investigate are:

Demographic information includes age, gender, education, income, and location.

Behaviors: This information includes how users interact with technology, how frequently they use specific features or functions, and what tasks they perform.

Needs and Goals: This section contains information about what users are attempting to accomplish and what they require to achieve those objectives.

Pain points are details about areas of difficulty or frustration in the user experience.

Step 3: Develop User Personas

After identifying patterns and insights, the next step is to create user personas. A user persona is a fictional depiction of a specific user group that summarises their needs, motivations, behaviours, and pain points. User personas are typically presented in the form of a document or a series of slides that include the following information:

Name and Photo: To make user personas more memorable and relatable, they are given a name and a photo.

Demographic information includes age, gender, education, income, and location.

Behaviors: This information includes how users interact with technology, how frequently they use specific features or functions, and what tasks they perform.

Needs and Goals: This section contains information about what users are attempting to accomplish and what they require to achieve those objectives.

Pain points are details about areas of difficulty or frustration in the user experience.

Step 4: In UX Design, Use User Personas

After creating user personas, the next step is to incorporate them into UX design. User personas can be used in a variety of contexts, such as:

Design Ideation: Using user personas, you can generate design ideas that are tailored to the needs and goals of your target user group.

User personas can be used to evaluate designs to ensure that they meet the needs and goals of the target user group.

Communication: User personas can be used to communicate to stakeholders and team members the needs and goals of the target user group.

User Personas Can Be Used To Recruit Participants For User Testing: User personas can be used to recruit participants for user testing and ensure that the testing reflects the target user group.

Conclusion:

User personas are a useful tool in UX design. They assist designers in understanding their users' needs, motivations, and behaviours in order to create user-centered designs that meet those needs.

Designers can create effective user personas that improve the user experience by following the steps of research and data collection, identifying patterns and insights, creating user personas, and using them in UX design.

TechMeetup Koncerence Ostrava 2022

Poté, co kolega Dan vyhrál vstup na konferenci TechMeetup v Ostravě, jsem ani já nezahálela a přidala se k čtyřčlenné výpravě.

Přesvědčil mě samostatný panel UX, Agile & Business. Jestli mám vybrat dvě přednášky, které mě nejvíce zaujaly, tak vyberu tři:

- “Loading… Co udělá rychlejší eshop s vaším businessem?” Petra Mandíka,,

- “Creating a Design System from Scratch: Lessons learned” Tomáše Litery a

- “Proč má smysl udělat z product discovery týmový sport a jak na to?” Romany Trusinové a Jaroslava Jakouběho.

Zejména mě nadchla zmíněná poslední přednáška, kde bylo z obou přednášejících cítit opravdové nadšení z práce, kdy zbořili hranice mezi uživateli, designéry a vývojáři a spolupracovali od začátku společně.

Všechny přednášky by se snad měly ukázat světu zde👇

Speed and SEO: The Technical Advantages of Minimalist Websites

Ever feel like your website is drowning in content?  Maybe beautiful images are slowing things down, or complex menus are confusing visitors.  In today's lightning-fast digital world, a cluttered website can be a death knell for your SEO.  We all know the frustration of a slow-loading website.  You click, you wait, you click away.  But did you know this impatience isn't just about user experience?  Search engines like Google value websites that load in a flash. 

This blog examines how going minimalist can make your website faster than ever, outperforming the competition and improving your SEO like never before.

The Power of Minimalism: Less is More

Minimalism, in the context of web design, refers to an approach that focuses on clean layouts, essential elements, and clear navigation. This doesn't equate to a bare-bones website; it's about prioritizing user experience by removing clutter and distractions. By following minimalist principles, web designers can create websites that are:

Faster Loading: With fewer images, videos, and complex scripts, minimalist websites have a smaller overall file size. This translates to faster loading times, which is a crucial factor for SEO. Search engines like Google prioritize websites that offer a fast and efficient browsing experience.

Mobile-Friendly: Minimalist design principles naturally lend themselves to mobile responsiveness. The focus on clean layouts and clear hierarchy translates seamlessly across different screen sizes, ensuring a positive user experience for mobile visitors. As mobile browsing continues to dominate, this is an essential aspect for SEO success.

Easier to Maintain: Simpler websites are easier to maintain and update. This is especially beneficial for businesses with limited resources or those who require frequent content changes. A well-maintained website not only reflects professionalism but also signals to search engines that the site is active and relevant.

Technical Considerations for Speed Optimization

While minimalism provides a strong foundation for website speed, additional technical considerations come into play:

Image Optimization: Large, unoptimized images are a major culprit for slow loading times. Web developers should utilize image compression techniques and consider using next-generation image formats like WebP to reduce file sizes without sacrificing quality.

Code Optimization: Clean and efficient code is essential for fast loading times. Web developers should strive to write concise and well-structured code, minimizing the amount of data that needs to be downloaded and rendered by the browser. Tools like minifiers can help reduce the size of code files.

Caching: Caching is a process that stores frequently accessed website elements on a user's device. This can significantly improve website speed for returning visitors by reducing the amount of data that needs to be downloaded again.

Content Delivery Networks (CDNs): A CDN is a geographically distributed network of servers that can deliver website content to users from the nearest location. This reduces latency and improves website speed, especially for users located far away from the main server.

The SEO Benefits of a Minimalist Website

Beyond the technical advantages, minimalism offers a number of SEO benefits:

Improved User Experience: A fast-loading, clutter-free website provides a positive user experience. Users are more likely to stay engaged, explore further, and convert into leads or customers. Search engines consider user experience as a ranking factor, so a website that keeps visitors happy is likely to rank higher.

Better Crawlability and Indexing: Search engines use bots to crawl and index websites. A minimalist website with clean code structure is easier for search engine bots to navigate and understand. This ensures that all your website content is properly indexed and has the potential to rank in search results.

 Mobile-First Indexing: Google now uses mobile-first indexing, which means the mobile version of your website is considered the primary version for ranking purposes. A minimalist website that is inherently mobile-friendly is more likely to perform well in search results.

Creating a successful minimalist website requires a collaborative effort. Here are the key professionals you might consider involving:

Web Designer: A skilled web designer can translate your brand identity and desired user experience into a minimalist design that is both visually appealing and functionally superior. Look for a designer with experience in creating user-centered websites that prioritize clarity and ease of use.

Web Developer: A web developer with a strong understanding of SEO best practices can ensure your minimalist website is built with clean code, optimized for speed, and mobile-friendly. Their expertise will be crucial in translating the designer's vision into a technically sound website that search engines love.

UX Expert: A User Experience (UX) expert can provide valuable insights into user behavior and how to optimize your website for user engagement. By understanding how users interact with minimalist websites, you can ensure your design is not only aesthetically pleasing but also intuitive and easy to navigate.

SEO Specialist: An SEO specialist can help you develop a comprehensive SEO strategy that leverages the technical advantages of your minimalist website. They can conduct keyword research, optimize your website content, and build a backlink profile to further improve your search engine ranking.

Minimalist website design is a powerful tool for web designers and developers to create websites that are not only visually appealing but also technically optimized for SEO success. By focusing on website speed, mobile responsiveness, clear content, and a user-centric approach, minimalism offers a strategic advantage in today's competitive digital landscape. By collaborating with the right professionals, you can leverage the power of minimalism to build a website that ranks higher in search results, engages users effectively, and ultimately drives business growth.

----------------------------------

How does a minimalist design affect website speed?

Fewer elements mean faster loading times, improving overall website speed.

How does user experience impact SEO?

Good user experience can lead to longer visits and lower bounce rates, boosting SEO.

Can minimalist websites be mobile-friendly?

Absolutely, minimalist designs are often easier to optimize for mobile devices.

Does a minimalist design mean fewer images?

Not necessarily, but it means using images more strategically to avoid clutter.

Can minimalist websites improve page indexing?

Yes, simpler structures can make it easier for search engines to crawl and index pages.

How does clean code affect website speed?

It improves performance by reducing unnecessary processing and load times.
