Understand the niche audience- The pillar task of Mobile App Development
Chalk out the exact information your target audience looks for on your site putting on the shoes of your visitor’s persona. As a visitor, when you are landing on a furniture website, you must be expecting to view some images focusing on the real-time furniture which you can buy. Based on the exact requirements of your niche audience, this process works well in building a better user interface design with creative elements, useful images, and effective layouts.
Simple Interface: Keep in mind how visitors will use the Interface
People use apps and any website in two ways, the first, which directly interact with the product’s interface elements and the second, which indirectly interact with the external UI elements of the product. Examples are
- Swiping a card
- Tapping a button
- Drag and drop an item with a touch
With more touch-based devices taking hold of the market every day, you need to think about how your target audience generally uses your interface. If your audience has limited manual dexterity, then you should avoid implementing the swiping option.
You never want to use alien icons that people will avoid clicking on. The design of mobile apps must be easy to understand and evoke a clear purpose. It is better to stick to certain common icons like the hamburger icon for the menu, bell icons that indicate notification, and cart icons for shopping. The customer, even if he is a layman must understand the meaning of all the elements you have used and feel comfortable navigating through the App.
