Simple, direct and continuous
An information overload creates clutter and adds to confusion. Prioritize the call for actions and direct only the ones that makes sense from a user’s perspective. Flood of information distracts the user and misdirect them towards an abrupt conclusion. When the users are allowed to make simplified and direct choices, it stimulates enhanced levels of interactions there by creating a better experience.
Lack of continuity in the process of communication creates confusion and forces the user to look for a simplified solution. It is ideal to establish the steps if the procedure is lengthy and to provide understandable way points.

Nudge the Experience
The term “nudging” - describes the theory of gently nudging the user to opt better solutions, by applying subtle behavioural psychology. By allowing users to believe that they are in control, they are subliminally pushed through the process towards the direction the communication intends them to follow while letting them feel empowered and in control. Highlight the better choice, while ensuring to provide the generic bad choices lets the user to feel the empowered about making the choices. This gently nudges the user through an interactive experience towards the final destination.
The conclusion is that the user experience is a narrative and interactive experience. Each action must be meaningful and purposive. More than the visual appeal, the users seek to derive meaning and purpose out of the interactions. This adds value to the user experience.
