Micro-interactions- The path to great Design

Simply put, a micro-interaction is an individual task based engagement with any device. We all switch-off the morning alarm, put it on snooze, skip to our favourite song while listening to music and like a post on our preferred social media platform. All these small and seemingly unimportant actions are micro-interactions and as users of devices, we engage in them throughout our day. From a designer’s perspective, these micro-interactions are created to have a human touch and with the sole intention of making the user’s life easy.

We are a prominent provider of web designing services in Mumbai and have been at the top of our game for a long time. Micro-interactions are happening all around us and exist in the devices that we use, all our home appliances and every app on our phones and tablets. Here are a few examples of micro-interactions:
Setting a status
Changing a setting
Liking a post
Logging on to an email account

Micro-interactions are ideal for the following range of tasks:
Connecting devices
Controlling a current process like increasing volume
Creating a status message
Turning a function off or altering it
Commenting on a digital medium
Viewing notifications or text message

Designing a micro-interaction is considered to be tricky so designers need to be aware of every minor bit of the elements and incorporate them in the design. As a top notch web designing services in Mumbai, we keep the following things in mind:
Make sure there are no gimmicks that the users may quickly get bored with or may even find them annoying
Ensure the design is as simple as the action itself
A bit of animation is fine but do not go overboard
Detailing is important as micro-interactions are well, micro.
