I wish to understand what elements or aspects of the design of modern websites the end users are annoyed from. Though you are free to express your personal opinions, it would be even more insightful if you could provide objective criticism and suggestions for alternative implementations so that I may incorporate the same in my current and future projects to make them as user friendly as possible.
Some criticisms I have encountered a while back include:
- Switches being basically checkboxes with more ambiguous active state
- Scrolling animations that prohibit user from linearly scrolling through the page
Make sure that the opinion is not
- Related to business/legal matters e.g. Cookie consent notices, ad banners etc.
- Too vague e.g. Poor website layout
- Highlighting objectively bad practices e.g. Lack of accessibility features
I recognise I could have followed a design system for this question, but I want to understand the situation from the perspective of the end users to see if they have a differing view on what a convenient user experience should be like.
Hey that’s a great idea for the euros with actual consumer protection - as a next step to the consent popups, you should limit how many things you can consent to at once. For example, if users had yet another pop up for the next ten “necessary partners” they would quickly abandon sites that made them do that
Arguably, that’s already covered. Informed consent is required.
If the consent popover leads you to accept all in an unbalanced way, the consent to share to 150 partners is neither informed nor given (no knowledge of it).
A conforming popup would ask: Can we share your personal data with 150 partners? [Yes] [No]. I don’t think many people would press [Yes].
