UX tip graphic titled 'Display examples of valid input formats.' The left panel marked with a red X shows a form with a Phone field placeholder 'Your phone' and the hint 'Add your country code,' a Company size field showing '0' with the hint 'Write a number or range,' and a Website field placeholder 'URL' with the hint 'Include https' — all vague. The right panel marked with a green checkmark shows the same fields formatted for the user: a Phone number field with a US flag country-code selector and the example '+1 (555) 356-7832,' a Company size dropdown pre-set to '0 - 50,' and a Website field with a fixed 'http://' prefix and 'www.brixagency.com.'

Forms & inputs

Jul 14, 2026

A field that just says 'Your phone' leaves users guessing at the format you'll accept

Vague fields make users guess the format and trip validation. Show the expected format inline — a sample value, a prefix, a picker — so they get it right first.

UX tip graphic titled 'Design completion screens to feel rewarding.' The left panel marked with a red X shows a plain workout-completed screen: a grey badge icon, the text 'Workout completed — Your data has been saved,' and a single 'Go back' button. The right panel marked with a green checkmark shows a celebratory screen with confetti and a gold medal, the headline 'Nice work, Steven — You crushed today's workout,' stat chips for 'Duration: 32 min' and 'Burned: 287 kcal,' a weekly streak of checked-off days (Mon, Thu, Wed, Tue done; Fri, Sat pending), and a 'Share my progress' button.

The screen a user sees after finishing is the one they remember — most apps waste it on 'data saved'

A flat 'completed, go back' ends a task on a shrug. Design completion screens that celebrate the win to shape how users remember the app and return.

Forms & inputs

Jul 12, 2026

People hesitate to hand over an email when they can't tell what you'll do with it

Data-usage worry quietly kills signups. Add short privacy promises next to the form — no spam, easy unsubscribe, never shared — to lift completions.

UX tip graphic titled 'Add edit links on form confirmation pages.' The left panel marked with a red X shows a review screen listing Full name, Email address, and Address as read-only text, with a red error box reading 'There is missing or incorrect information — Invalid email address' and only a single 'Go back' button. The right panel marked with a green checkmark shows the same summary where each field — Full name, Email address, Address — has its own small 'Edit' link with a pencil icon; the email field is highlighted in red with inline guidance 'Use a valid email like name@company.com' and a 'Submit' button below.

Sending users 'back' to fix one field makes them re-navigate a form they thought they'd finished

A single 'Go back' button forces users to re-find one field. Add per-field edit links on the confirmation step so they fix and submit in place.

UX tip graphic titled 'Display relevant upsells on the thank-you page.' The left panel marked with a red X shows a bare 'Thank you! Your order has been completed!' message with only a 'Continue shopping' button and nothing else on the page. The right panel marked with a green checkmark shows a 'Thank you, your order has been placed' confirmation with a 'Review or edit your order' link, followed by two relevant post-purchase recommendations — a 64GB SD Card and Headphones XM6 — each with a star rating, review count, and a discounted price.

The moment right after purchase is the most receptive one you get — most thank-you pages waste it

Buyers are most receptive right after purchase. Add relevant recommendations to the thank-you page to lift revenue without needing new traffic.

You can't fix a conversion problem you can't see — and broken tracking is why you can't see it

Hard-coded, scattered tracking tags break silently and hide conversion problems. Manage them in one container so tracking stays reliable and easy to update.

UX tip graphic titled 'Display progress toward rewards or goals.' Both panels show a shopping cart listing the same items — Running Shoes and a DSLR Camera. The left panel marked with a red X shows only the line items and a $355 total with a Checkout button, giving the shopper no sense of any reward within reach. The right panel marked with a green checkmark adds a progress bar reading '$12 away from free shipping' with a partly filled meter above the shipping cost and total, nudging the shopper toward the threshold.

A bar that shows how close a reward is turns 'good enough' into 'just a little more'

A visible progress bar toward a reward — like '$12 from free shipping' — pulls users to complete the goal and often lifts average order value.

UX tip graphic titled 'Use real deadlines, not fake timers.' The top panel marked with a red X shows a 'Flash sale — Claim your discount!' banner with a generic one-hour countdown reading 01:00:00, the kind of fake timer that simply resets on reload. The bottom panel marked with a green checkmark shows a 'Hurry! Offer ends on April 26, 2026' banner with a genuine countdown to that fixed date — 24 days, 18 hours, 59 minutes, 13 seconds — and a line reading 'Don't miss your discount, complete your purchase today before it expires.'

Urgency only works while it's believed — a timer that resets on reload stops being believed fast

Fake countdown timers that reset on reload erode trust. Tie urgency to a real, fixed deadline so it drives action without costing credibility.
