🏅Nielsen Norman's ten usability heuristics in working order
Jakob Nielsen's ten interface heuristics, kept under their published names as a review checklist rather than a scoring system
Never miss an update
This list changes over time — get a short email when it does.
At most one short email a week — unfollow in one click.
1
Show acknowledgement after a click; if work is slow, add progress and an honest expectation instead of a frozen screen.
2
Match between the system and the real world
Use the customer’s nouns and natural task order, not database labels or the organization chart.
3
User control and freedom
Provide undo, cancel and a visible exit; confirmation dialogs are a poor substitute for reversibility.
4
Consistency and standards
5
Error prevention
Prevent high-cost mistakes with constraints, sensible defaults and confirmation that names the consequence.
6
Recognition rather than recall
Keep choices, formats and prior values visible so the user need not remember information from another screen.
7
Flexibility and efficiency of use
8
Aesthetic and minimalist design
9
Help users recognize, diagnose, and recover from errors
10
Help and documentation
