The cost-benefit principle in UX Design

The quality of every design aspect can be measured using the cost-benefit principle

If the costs associated with interacting with a design outweigh the benefits, the design is poor. If the benefits outweigh the costs, the design is good.

For example: How long is too long for a person to wait for a web-page to load? The answer to this question is that it depends on the benefit of the interaction.

I invented the term (UX Architect) because I thought human interface and usability were too narrow. I wanted to cover all aspects of the person’s experience with a system, including industrial design, graphics, the interface, the physical interaction, and the manual.
