Neuro Web Design

One methodology of UI UX psychology is called “Neuro Web Design”. This methodology applied the concepts of neuroscience, motivation, and instinct into how to design a good website by using and applying web design psychology. Neuro Web Design explains how emotions affect our decisions, as well as how to apply persuasion and emotion in design to best attract customers to increase user engagement.

Emotion in Design

A great web design involves using psychological aspects that provide a user to act on the products and/or services that you are prompting them to buy. While making sure your website flows properly with all the proper web design techniques and principles, you should also apply emotion in design and consequently in your websites. A well designed website comes from not only the technical nature and functionality of the website, but also how it influences and persuades, sparks emotions, and gains the trust of its users. Your brand is an entity that needs to create a connection with your customers and community. An engaging website is not just an effective marketing tool to boost your competitive advantage against competition, but it is also a medium that reflects the personality, persona, and values of your brand.
