Reflect the User's Mental Model
- Familiarity
- Simplicity: thinking about the typical streamline of a task.
- Availability: avoid hiding key features and settings too deeply in submenus or making them accessible only from a contextual menu (which is not always able to be triggered)
- Discoverability: Encourage users to discover functionality by providing cues. If an element is clickable, for example, it must appear that way. Avoid making controls invisible to inexperienced users.
