Deutsche Post's postage stamp machine vs. humans
6 UX flaws to avoid if you want to design stories with happy endings Last week I was standing in line to get a post stamp at the German post office. A task that can be done at the counter but also at annoying machines that give out 1 cent stamps (instead of change) if...
UX research methods - In which cases are user interviews actually appropriate?
In the design process, you can use various methods or a mix of methods to make the product, website or app "better" in the sense of "user-centred" - in other words, you gain valuable insights into the world of the user. In UX design, we use...
