Comments on: Don’t design for everyone. It’s impossible. http://www.inspireux.com/2009/01/09/dont-design-for-everyone-its-impossible/ User Experience quotes and articles to inspire and connect the UX community Wed, 08 Feb 2012 10:47:32 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Dan Evans http://www.inspireux.com/2009/01/09/dont-design-for-everyone-its-impossible/comment-page-1/#comment-2589 Dan Evans Thu, 29 Jan 2009 06:42:06 +0000 http://www.inspireux.com/?p=477#comment-2589 It's really interesting to me how this quote contrasts sharply with the previous entry (http://www.inspireux.com/2009/01/07/why-should-we-all-suffer-an-interface-that-is-unusable/): "If you want to reach the greatest number of users possible, it’s best to write clearly and simply and design your interfaces to be consistent from page to page." Really great design manages to embrace both of these things at the same time. It makes the greatest number of people happy because it is simple because it is not designed for everyone. A bit ironic that to reach the most people through design it helps to focus on satisfying fewer people. I like it.

I like it.
