We don’t want to look like we’re picking on Google – but this UX Fail is actually costing businesses hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars each month.
Much the way a prosecutor presents evidence to help a jury reach a verdict, we as designers must present the evidence to support our designs recommendations. However, even if you have ample evidence, you still need to present the evidence in a clear, easy-to-understand manner otherwise you may not win your case.
