Design Tenants
-
We design with personas in mind. Mom Dad, Child 1, Ect. "Alexa, switch to my favorites!"
-
Magic is possible. We like to make people say Wow!
-
We infuse hope and excitement by including customers in on innovative Partnership programs with cool new foods companies!
-
Feedback is our friend. Both good and bad. We fail fast and get back on track!
-
Integration with other Brands and Services should work and instills confidence (API integrations)
-
Cause our members to post their accomplishments and creations with family and friends!
-
Security is a paramount, especially with kids in the home. Demonstrate we care about their privacy data within the UI.
-
Feedback is our friend.
-
Latency = Trust. Strive to be fast! Users should never wait for data requests. Latency erodes trust. (Search)
-
Minimalism is our friend. Less is best. If the user didn’t ask for it. Remove it or think thoughtfully.
-
Visual Scanning must to be easy on the eyes, high contrast, mature, and sophisticated.
-
Design for prolonged use and long pauses. This will allow users to use the product longer, be more efficient, and learn new skills.
-
Strive to be intuitive and answer questions before they are asked.
