How Much Time Does it Take to Create Personas?
What’s hot in UX this week
How Much Time Does It Take to Create Personas? →
Personas are representations of a cluster of users with similar behaviors, goals, and motivations. As such, personas are fictional, yet still realistic because they embody the characteristics and behaviors of actual people. In product development, personas are used to communicate information about users and create a common ground among different team members by unifying their views and understanding of target users. Many design and development teams create personas early on in a project to ground their product decisions in user data and achieve user-centered design.
Personas are a familiar, but often underutilized tool in the field of user experience. Many organizations perceive persona efforts as time consuming or too complex to undertake in a design project. To understand more about the “typical” persona project, we surveyed 216 user-experience professionals who shared their approaches to creating personas and the time it took their teams to conduct or review research, analyze data, and craft the personas.

Ensure High Contrast for Text Over Images →
A well-chosen visual adds interest and can set the tone of a website, in addition to (hopefully) conveying some meaning. Eyetracking research has shown that people are attracted to information-carrying photos, when the images are related to the user’s current task.
