As a designer it is considerably easy to evaluate your own designing work. But in many cases, web designers fail to convey the same information to the end user. And for that reason, it is necessary to implement some practices in order to keep your design unambiguous. People often end up getting away from websites that are unclear with information they provide. However, just by developing some healthy approaches, one can come up with a clear-cut and unified design.
What Is An Ambiguous Design?
Well, there can be a number of answers to this questions as we relate it to the different elements of design. Think of the following situations that you might have encountered while browsing a website.
You visit a website of a software development company to look for the services offered by them. But instead of highlighting on what services they specialize in, they exaggerate about the clients they have worked for.
You are looking for a specific information on a website and find it difficult to navigate through the categories and you are confused that in which category does it lie?
This is what we actually call an ambiguous design. Some of us might fail to figure out the causes of ambiguity. But, in most of the cases, this term relates to the web-accessibility as unambiguous design focuses on accessibility of the information at the same time taking into the account its clarity.
