Usability is so 2012...
MAKE THE USER SMILE Emotional Design
About me
Remy Blaettler
Spent 8 years across the ocean Then back with my own translation
agency Supertext Chief of the System
User's hierarchy of needs
Functional
Usable
Reliable
Pleasurable
Missing
Why?
Only bad usability leaves a lasting impression
Good usability is taken for granted
We are looking for the «Have you seen this» effect
Skeuomorphismus
Isn’t flat design bad for emotions?
Lets do it
R.I.P. Clippy 1997 - 2007
Be context sensitive
Time Weather Place Etc.
Feathers
Greetings and goodbye
Boring Hello Remy
In the morning Good morning Remy Almost time for lunch?
Afternoon We hope you’re on the way home soon?
Greetings and goodbye
Evening Wow, still at work, Remy?
Before a holiday, instead of «Regards» Happy Easter! Enjoy your long weekend!
Use humor
Give automation a personality
Emails are signed with «Boxed Ice Robot Llama» at Boxed Ice
Don’t do the noreply thing
Or be personal
Sign automated emails a name Address the customer with his name Use the appropriate greeting
(Du/Sie) Hey Paul Dear Mister Smith
Make sure this is stored appropriately in your CRM
But then people might write back?!

Emotions make the difference
Humans are not rational beings.
A human is a walking bag of squishy meat and liquids, awash in chemicals.
Bad emotions are the worst
Music Flash intro Full screen New windows Lost passwords during sign-up
Errors
Team Pages
Good place to play around a little
Ideas Handwritten signature Automatic daily horoscope Mouse-over pic with something funny
behind it
Avoid: Information that is too personal
Personal not personalized
Be personal in e-mails, newsletters and on your webpage.
Personalization is often just another feature that clutters the interface
Du / Sie in German. Track it in your CRM
«Hi Remy» sounds so much better than «Dear Mister Blättler»

Risks
Emotions are emotions!
Some will hate them. Some will love them.
Be careful where you use them. If used properly, they can be a very powerful way to create an identity and a connection to your brand.
