In UX design, mistakenly equating Dribbble visual designs with actual UX is common; functionality and usability are what truly matter. Skipping user research can lead to flawed assumptions, as real data is essential for validation. An MVP (Minimal Viable Product) approach is recommended to save resources, allowing for user feedback early on. Users often prefer simpler versions over comprehensive features, highlighting the importance of focusing on what truly serves their needs, rather than building excessive options.
When I was new to UX, I constantly compared my work to what I saw on Dribbble. Everything there looked so beautiful... But here's the thing: Dribbble isn't UX.
The best thing you (and your team) can do - even as a junior - is validate those assumptions. Interviews, surveys, Instagram stories - anything that gets real data is more valuable than guessing.
If you want to save months of effort and thousands of dollars - start with an MVP. That can be a sketch, a wireframe, or a basic prototype held together with duct tape.
Often, users love the simplest version - and 80% of the features you thought were 'must-haves' aren't even missed. This mindset saves money, time, and sanity.
