A personal pick of the finest digital products for accessibility, user experience and intuitive design.

Google Search Engine

Google’s homepage exemplifies minimalist design, prioritizing user focus with a clean layout that immediately directs attention to the search bar, offering instant accessibility and intuitive options like voice and image search.

Cred

CRED’s credit card bill payment interface stands out for its seamless, gamified experience.

The super quick payments, combined with auditory feedback and engaging visual illustrations, make for an enjoyable process catering to a differently abled audience. The app’s focus on creating delightful moments is echoed in every little interaction like clicking a button or moving a slider, which are all aesthetically crafted and work like magic without a glitch.

Myntra

The check-out experience on the online shopping platform Myntra is quite user-friendly as it reduces the cognitive load by including progress bars that show the users where they are in the check-out process (comparing parallel experience on Amazon).

AirBnB

How cool is this! Sometimes you just don’t have a place in mind. All you want is a place with an amazing view, or maybe with a pool or in the countryside. Well, AirBnB for the win! You can quickly explore places around you, maybe scan the map view and book a place in seconds. The interface is so intuitive and minimal.

Spotify

Spotify’s design ensures seamless user interaction with a sticky play button for easy access while browsing, transitioning to a full-screen music experience with a focused, distraction-free interface that highlights the current track and playlist continuity.

Below you can see the playlist name “Chills” is present on all the screens, and the big green play button sticks to the top.

Spotify User Interface

Hope you enjoyed this article. Also, special mention to Medium which is such a simple, minimal and user-friendly product. I’ll keep updating this one for more digital products I love using. Until then, keep reading, and keep learning!
