Introduction

I built a task management app in a no-code tool called: Bubble

No sign-up or login is required to try the app at this link:

Here I’m going to explain my choices for 3 examples of the user interface text.

 

Designed and wrote website copy - Feature list

On the landing page, headings and sub-headings convey the level of detail.
 
Clear and direct text explains the main features.

Designed and wrote a pop-up message - Delete list

The message includes static and dynamic text (example: the list's name).
 
The dynamic text also includes quantities of "tasks", "time-logs", and "comments". The app automatically adds the letter "s" to these words, if plural.
 
To improve clarity, the button's text answers the initial question.

Removed error messages - Modified "SAVE" button  

STEP 1

Before a user fills out a form, conventional UX enables the user to click the "SAVE" button. Then the annoying error messages appear on the empty required fields.
 
To improve the user experience, I replaced the "SAVE" button when one or more required fields are empty.
 
The new button is: "HIGHLIGHT REQUIRED FIELDS"

Highlight required fields #1

STEP 2

The user clicks the button.
 
Then the borders of the empty required fields change color, and the button disappears.

Highlight required fields #2

STEP 3

The user fills in the required fields.
 
Then the borders return to the original color, and the "SAVE" button appears.
