User flow

  • Visual representation of the steps a user takes to achieve a goal on a website or app.
  • It maps out how users navigate through a product, helping you understand their journey from start to finish.
  • Provides a bird’s-eye view of the user’s experience.

  • Helps designers anticipate user needs.

  • Ensures that the interface supports a seamless experience.

  • Identifies potential pain points and areas of friction in the user's journey.

  • What the user is trying to do???

User flow

  • Where the user begins (e.g., homepage, login screen).

  • Decision Points: Choices the user must make (e.g., "Login" or "Sign Up").

  • Actions/Tasks: What the user is trying to do (e.g., filling out a form).

  • End Point: The final goal (e.g., completing a purchase, submitting a form).
     

  • User flows are a crucial foundation for building wireframes and prototypes.

  • They help ensure your design is user-centered and goal-oriented.

  • Keep it simple and focused on the main task.

  • Think like the user—what steps do they want to take?

  • Don’t include solutions e.g. “clicks on the filter dropdown”.

  • Big picture
