Design rant

  • April 11
    Why do so many clients still believe stuff like “no one scrolls” or “users must find everything in 3 clicks”? It’s 2025 and we’re still fighting myths from 2005. Just had a meeting where someone asked if having a homepage longer than one screen would “scare people away.” I get it, not everyone lives in Figma or watches UX videos all day, but man, it’s wild how these old beliefs stick around. Anyone have a good resource I can share that explains this stuff without sounding preachy?

    YES. Been there too many times. This article absolutely saved me last week when I had to politely bust some of these old-school ideas: website myths https://clay.global/blog/ux-guide/ux-myths . It walks through all the big ones: scrolling, clicks, homepage real estate, even the “users don’t read” trope: and backs everything up with actual logic and examples. The tone is perfect: super clear, not condescending, and super shareable with non-design folks. I sent it to a client after they insisted we “hide the nav to keep it clean”
