Design for Real Life

You can't plan for every circumstance, but you can deliberate over design decisions that consider the needs of the greatest number of people. Join Sara Wachter-Boettcher and Eric Meyer as they examine examples from more than a dozen sites and services to distil a set of principles you can apply right now. Whether you're a designer, developer, content strategist, or anyone who creates user experiences, you'll gain the practical knowledge to test where your designs might fail (before you ship!), vet new features or interactions against more realistic scenarios, and build a business case for making decisions through a lens of kindness. You can't know every user, but you can develop inclusive practices that support an array of people. This book will show you how.
