Why Cancel Buttons Should Never Have a Color

What does the Cancel button exactly do? It dismisses the user’s current screen and brings them back to their previous one. Users rely on this dismissive button as a safeguard to prevent them from making unwanted changes to the system.

To make your users feel safe, the Cancel button should signify a fallback to safety, not a call to action. This is why Cancel buttons should never have a color.

SALES FUNNEL - DO OR DIE!

Everyone who has an online business needs to create a sales funnel in order to convert his website visitors into paying customers.

If you fail to do that, you will hardly make any money.

Your primary goal with your sales funnel is to move people from one stage to another until they are ready to purchase.

48% of mobile users in the U.S. are comfortable researching, planning, and booking an entire trip to a new travel destination using only their smartphone.
•
This presents an enormous opportunity for travel brands to deliver better experiences on mobile devices, beginning with the first page a user sees. As marketers, you can lead the charge in making your mobile site the assistive and delightful experience customers are looking for.

Milliseconds earn millions. Why mobile
speed can slow or grow your business.
>>
According to Mary Ellen Coe, president of Google Customer Solutions, mobile speed isn’t a one-and-done fix. For brands serious about growth, mobile speed should be an ongoing priority.

Technology + Psychology = User Experience
UX designers must understand both technology and psychology and that machines should be designed with the assumption that people will make errors and behave imperfectly.

Downplaying Empty States in Design
Empty states are commonly known as first use states, user cleared fields and panes, 404s, and error messages. Typically, they do not carry a lot of meaning through what they showcase visually, but they serve as shells for the meaning behind those states.

Downplayed empty states are wasted opportunities.

There is some ingrained sense of guilt connected with that. You can just go and say “whoopsies, page not found” like it is, or turn it into an engaging little interaction.

If there is no core functionality revealed on the first encounter, we have to make the encounter alone an event.

BOTTOM is the new TOP!
There has been long going debate on top vs bottom navigation, we will finally sway towards the latter in 2019. Widespread adoption of these two UX elements across iOS and Android will define this transition.

It’s a known fact that users prefer using one thumb to get things done on mobile phones. Ubiquity of large screen devices and one handed usage makes bottom of the screen a prime real estate and appropriate for placing important buttons within reach.

Evolution of the TV Experience and Targeting.
In the future, no two people will have the same TV experience, says YouTube’s chief product officer, Neal Mohan. Your TV viewing adventure will completely be your own, with a mix of traditional TV and digital video content tailored specifically to you. That’s good news for marketers. As TV becomes more personalized, advertisers will unlock better reach, targeting, and measurement.

As designers, we work, at the simplest level, with an essential “grammar” of elements — points, lines, and planes. These elements, which were defined at the influential Bauhaus school at the beginning of the twentieth century, remain at the heart of what we do today, and yet, often aren’t incorporated. hello@xblu.com

Make way for mobile micro-moments.
Google defines micro-moments as any moment that drives a customer to use their mobile device on the fly, whether they want to learn something, go somewhere, do something, or buy something.
In 2018, the brands that spend the most time trying to learn, understand, and capitalize on these micro-moments are going to have the highest possibilities of success. It requires deeper demographic research and a mobile-intensive strategy, but with the new tools I think we’ll see develop, it’s going to be easier to approach for modern brands.

Searches becoming more specific according to Google.

People are being more specific than ever, and they still expect to get useful, relevant information. For example, people didn’t just search “how to make slime.” They searched “how to make fluffy slime,” “how to make butter slime,” and “how to make slime without Borax.” #slimetutorial #profitable #websitedesign #profits #webdesign #websitedesigner #webdesigner #webdeveloper #webshop #webzine #website #webpage #webmaster #websites #websitedevelopment #ecommerce #ecom #ecommercewebsite #ecommercebusiness #onlinesales #chicagobusinessowner #depauluniversity #artinstituteofchicago #southloop #google #seo #entrepreneurlife #snails #chamberofcommerce

No decision or item is too small with mobile search.

Consumers are searching for items like toothbrushes, shower curtains, salt and so forth. They’re using mobile devices to inform every purchase, regardless of category or price.

A few examples of growth in searches:
115% growth in “best” mobile searches for face lotion and moisturizers in the past two years.
165% growth in “best” mobile searches for water bottles in the past two years.
375% growth in “best” mobile searches for salt in the past two years.

3. Am-I-getting-the-best-value moments
4. I-want-to-buy-it moments
In addition, Smartphone searches related to furniture “near me” have grown 85% year over year.

Video is changing how people shop.
People are drawn to the richness of video to help them experience a product in ways that words can’t convey. As one viewer we spoke to explained about purchasing makeup, “I like being able to watch a video featuring the product rather than reading a blog post, because when reading you can’t see the actual colors.” #marketing #ecommerce #videoproduction #youtube #branding #testimonimyazaria #canonphotography #setlife #videographer #youtuber #onlinemarketing #myazariamakasar #videoshoot #socialmedia #videocamera #videography #cinematography #filmmaking #moviemaking #myazariajakarta #myazariasurabaya #myazariahongkong #camerarig #filmmaker #business #filming #filmlife #mci #peluangusaha #nesia

The Best Mentors Think Like Michelangelo. Michelangelo approached the craft of sculpting with the humble conviction that a unique and beautiful piece of art already existed within the stone, and his job was only to release it.

“What should I get for lunch?” is something a person once would have asked a friend or coworker. Now it’s something they also ask of search. And we’re seeing this search data across categories. People are looking for advice about a range of things from personal hygiene (“How often should I wash my hair”) to fairly substantial health and financial decisions like “should I go vegan” and “what kind of credit card should I get.” #mobileapp #chicagoart #restaurantweek #kendallcollege #seo #marketingtips #cheflife #google #strategy #xblu #veganrecipes
