Navigating the UX Ocean: Spotting bad UX Design.

User Experience (UX) is the heartbeat of any application or website. It can make or break a user's interaction and ultimately determine whether they'll come back for more. In this blog post, we will delve into the realm of UX, focusing on a subtle UX error in Hashnode's signup process UI and providing suggested fixes to enhance the user experience. Without further ado, let's get started.

Hashnode Sign-up process

The Bad UX

One significant issue with Hashnode's signup process is the lack of text visibility on the button. This lack of visibility can confuse inexperienced users, making it harder for them to understand the purpose of the button and take the necessary action to create an account. Another flaw is that the outline of the button does not adhere to best practices for what an inactive button should look like.

The Fix

To address these issues, it's crucial to enhance the visibility of the text on the button and use appropriate colors for both the inactive and active states. By doing so, users will be able to clearly perceive the button's purpose and make informed decisions based on their choices.

Wrapping Up

While this error may seem harmless to a layman, we must consider that user experience is a pivotal aspect of any application or website. A well-designed and thoughtful user interface can create a positive lasting impression, while poor UX can drive users away. Understanding the strengths and weaknesses of Hashnode's sign-up process in terms of UX helps us appreciate what works and what needs improvement. Ultimately, a commitment to enhancing the user experience ensures a thriving and loyal user base.

Thanks.
