The Psychology of Frictionless Experience

The Psychology of Frictionless Experience

Design is not about adding elements until it's finished, but removing them until nothing remains that shouldn't be there. Exploring the ROI of extreme minimalism.

Every pixel on the screen is a tax on your user's attention. Minimalist design is the art of minimizing that tax while maximizing the value of the information provided.

We've found through intensive A/B testing that reducing navigation options by 30% led to a 12% increase in core conversion actions. It's counter-intuitive, but less choice leads to faster decisions.

The premium feel of a brand isn't in what you see, but in the silence between the elements. Whitespace is a structural component, not just an empty layout.

"Strategy is not the consequence of planning, but the opposite: its starting point."
