Potential users (and future buyers) claim their decision has been well thought out, balancing the pros and cons of every aspect of a product or service. And that is partially true.<\/p>\n<p>In reality, they do make a balanced evaluation, but the process doesn\u2019t start for a few seconds. Depending on a person\u2019s background, expertise and mindset, it can take several minutes (or never start at all \u2013 in which case, we are talking about very impulsive users\/buyers). So, what happens in this small time window that is so important for the cognitive evaluation that follows? Whether they want to or not, users form a hypothesis of likelihood). They decide within seconds whether the product or service could be a brilliant match for them. They believe their eyes: to see is already to know (until disproven). Then they touch, smell, hear\u2026to confirm their hypothesis.<\/p>\n<p>Oh yes, when it comes to design, love at first sight definitely exists.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not certain of the origins of this remarkable process, but it must surely be connected with our animal behaviour in ancient times. In dangerous situations,\u00a0quick decisions were vital. What and who can I trust? Should I stay or should I run away? There is nothing wrong with speedy judgements. It is, of course, hard to know what\u2019s behind the snap judgement that leads to a purchase.<\/p>\n<p>As a designer, you have to recognise and understand this intuitive process. The more likeable your design, the bigger your window of opportunity to win over potential users.\u00a0If they love your design, they will make more effort to match the specifications of your product to their own criteria.<\/p>\n<p>What happens when you have the choice between several products, with equal specifications but a difference in visual design quality?\u00a0Better design means better communication. Better communication means more opportunity to outweigh possible disadvantages. That\u2019s why communicating the right message through styling is key in designing products and services.<\/p>\n<div class=\"slate-resizable-image-embed slate-image-embed__resize-right\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/media.licdn.com\/dms\/image\/C4D12AQFwE2yMPcaVag\/article-inline_image-shrink_1000_1488\/0?e=2129500800&amp;v=beta&amp;t=jx3lVPgXwXOcfjJHQil1QxhaQHXIoca3JD9kcGXbJHc\" width=\"304\" height=\"275\" \/><\/div>\n<p>So, is styling more important than all other aspects\u00a0of good product\/service design (ergonomics, interface, quality, functionality\u2026)?<\/p>\n<p>No, of course not. But when you get your visual approach right, you have a bigger and more patient audience who will take the time to explore your design fully.<\/p>\n<p>So, take advantage of the five-second hypothesis. Design the best solution: simple and clear, elegant and poetic, so the product looks as it should always have looked and the observer asks him- or herself: \u201cWhy doesn\u2019t this exist already?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":154797293,"featured_media":11866,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_wpcom_ai_launchpad_first_post":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"{title}\n\n{excerpt}\n\n{url}","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[20244],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11863","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-product-design-en"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>How design works: how powerful is the five-second hypothesis?
