UX Audit Guidelines

During the UX Audit I’ll be looking for these and other problems for you.
Overcomplicated Navigation

A menu with too many options or nested sub-menus that make it difficult for users to find what they’re looking for.

 

Non-Responsive Design

A website that doesn’t adapt well to different screen sizes, making it hard to use on mobile devices.

 

Inconsistent Design

Different pages or sections of the app have wildly different designs, making it feel disjointed.

 

Lack of Visual Hierarchy

Important content or buttons are not emphasized, making it hard for users to know where to focus their attention.

 

Poor Feedback

When users interact with elements like buttons or forms, there is no visual or audio feedback to confirm their actions.

 

Intrusive Pop-Ups

Constant pop-ups, ads, or prompts that interrupt the user experience, especially if they are difficult to close or appear too frequently.

 

Unclear or Confusing Copy

Text on the website or app that is vague, full of jargon, or poorly written, making it difficult for users to understand what they need to do or what the product offers.

 

Slow Load Times

Pages that take too long to load, causing frustration and leading users to abandon the site.

 

Cluttered Interface

Too much information or too many elements on a single page, overwhelming the user and making it difficult to find the desired content.

 

Complex Forms

Forms that require too much information or have too many fields, leading to user frustration and abandonment.

 

Non-Intuitive Gestures or Interactions

Mobile apps that require users to perform complex gestures or unfamiliar interactions that aren’t immediately obvious.

 

Inaccessible Design

Not considering accessibility standards, such as insufficient contrast for text, making it difficult for visually impaired users to read content.

 

Unclear Call-to-Action (CTA)

Buttons or links that are not clearly labeled, making it unclear what action the user is supposed to take.
