  • Users should never have to think about what content is clickable
  • Website design should be intuitive and understandable at a glance

    • Company-specific terminology
    • Technical jargon
    • Unclear clickable links and buttons
  • Design decisions should minimize ambiguity and ensure the design is self-evident
