White Hat UX

 White Hat UX

Most things in life come with a dark side. For years, the online space has acted as a playground for thieves, bandits and murky types who will use every trick in the book to make you do the opposite of what you set out to do. But there is hope. The next generation in user experience is coming.

Small websites are not the only ones tempted by the dark forces. Many of the world’s largest brands make use of dark patterns — some do so because of ignorance, while others lack the courage to admit their wrong doings. White Hat UX focuses on creating unique user experiences without a dark side. Leave the dark side and read the book. It is filled with inspiration to free yourself from the dark forces and join the next generation in user experience – White Hat UX.

“White Hat UX takes you through the good, the bad and the ugly of deceptive UX design. The interesting thing about deceptive (or “black hat”) UX design, is that you need to know how to recognize it — and maybe even how to do it — before you can avoid it. So the authors gives lots of examples and patterns that you should not do too.”

Author of UX for Beginners
