Problems in Digital:

3.1 Orders are sent unintentionally

Avoid accidental orders & purchases by making the user aware of his choice by redirecting to the shopping cart page and a dialogue showing the successful action.

3.2 Windows are unintentionally closed

Use a confirmation dialogue. Communicate as clearly a possible to the user before closing a form causing data loss.

3.3 Destructive buttons are not highlighted

✓ NOT this:

✓ Use this:
Simple drawing illustrating a unclear dialogue text box with text "Information to your account. We want to inform you, that this interaction will cause deleting your account and all the corresponding data like profile, messages, and photos."
  • Make the dialogue as clearly and short as possible.
  • Use a button font colour you are not using for regular action buttons in your layout, like red
  • Flip the arrangement of the buttons (right/left) to be different from previous dialogues. This avoids impulsive multiple clicks.
  • Use descriptive language for the buttons instead of “Yes” or “No”
