10 Tips to quickly improve your UI designs

  1. You should know your users
    Above all else, you have to know who your users are—inside and out. Don't stop at knowing what your users want. Dig deeper and find out what they need.

  2. Define how people use your interface
    Before you design your interface, you need to define how people will use it.

  3. Set expectations
    Make sure users have an idea of what will happen before they do it, for example, what will happen after clicking a certain button.

  4. Predict mistakes
    People make mistakes, but they shouldn’t always have to suffer the consequences. There are two ways to help lessen the impact of human error:

        -Prevent mistakes before they happen
        -Provide ways to fix them after they happen
    
  5. Give feedback—fast
    Just make sure your things work quick or in others, word respond quickly

  6. Think carefully about element placement and size
    This is a crucial thing in design, you must choose what shows users clearly like if it's the menu button, it should well aligned and seenable.

  7. Don’t ignore standards
    Being highly creative types, designers tend to love to reinvent things—but it’s not always the best idea. You must follow the standards of design.

  8. Make your interfaces easy to learn
    Simplicity in design is the best practice, so you have to make your design easy to understand.

  9. Make decision-making simple

  10. Listen to the data

I think it is useless to read the articles if you lack of experience. To create a good UX/UI design considering all the points mentioned in the article, it is better to hire the external agency. The one I would recommend is Eleken eleken.co/blog-posts/ux-strategy-w.... The Eleken team will create a perfect UX/UI strategy for your business. Having the experience working with variable customers and different niches, the Eleken team has a solid experience in creating and implementing all UX/UI design ideas into practice.
