Designing for conversion, often viewed negatively, is crucial for demonstrating design value in businesses. Many designers fear using metrics due to concerns about losing creative control or creating dark patterns that manipulate users. These dark patterns can include deceptive free trials and emotionally manipulative design options that prioritize revenue at the expense of user experience. However, understanding metrics can transform this perspective; they can guide designers to make informed, creative choices that benefit both the user and the business without resorting to deception.
Designing for conversion is often misunderstood; it can reveal the value of design while communicating effectively with businesses, but many designers fear its implications.
A fear of losing creative control stops designers from using metrics, they worry it could lead to predictable designs and the use of deceptive dark patterns.
Dark patterns, like frustrating free trials, are feared outcomes of âdesigning for conversionâ that prioritize revenue over user trust and experience.
Metrics should not be seen as restraints, but as tools that can enhance creative designs and improve overall business communication.
