Key takeaways
- 01Quality depends on predictable behaviour throughout a journey.
- 02Use real copy, imagery and data when reviewing screens.
- 03Turn each observation into a specific acceptance criterion.
Match the promise with the experience
A polished opening screen sets expectations. An unresponsive button, clipped text or lost form data breaks them. Walk through the complete route: find the service, understand it, inspect evidence and contact the team.
Visual appeal cannot replace a clear offer or a visible next step.
Stress-test typography
Try long project names, numbers and both languages. Review wrapping, contrast, captions and spacing. A consistent type scale matters more than numerous expressive fonts.
Do not shrink body copy simply to preserve a composition. Revisit hierarchy and check text resizing and touch targets on a phone.
Review the difficult states
Show empty results, slow loading, connection errors and successful submission. Explain what happened and what the user can do next. Preserve input after a recoverable error and define safe behaviour for repeated clicks.
- Provide clear action feedback.
- Place errors near the affected field.
- Make keyboard focus visible.
- Keep the journey understandable without motion.
Make the review actionable
Replace vague criticism with context, observed behaviour, consequences and an acceptance condition. Prioritise broken journeys, comprehension issues and visual polish separately.
Repeat the same task after the fix. Do not infer a conversion improvement from appearance alone; that requires comparable outcome data.
