Several key laws that ensure success in website design and development.

Bill of Rights, Ten Commandments, Laws of UX; three varying code of ethics that unveil their moral, just, and logical platitudes in groups of 10. Happenstance? Formulated plan? While there�s clearly an eerie resemblance between the three, the Laws of UX, specifically, were devised to simplify the intricate stipulations that accompany web design and development.

The first law, Fitt�s Law, touches on targets i.e. the object a mouse pointer wishes to land on. The law gently suggests that if a target wants to be acquired, it should be simple to spot and placed within a reasonable distance. Hick�s Law focuses on the adage �less is more.� If you burden someone with an onslaught of decisions, it impedes their interaction while sullying their image of the platform. Less stimuli equates to more engagement.

Meanwhile, Jakob�s Law mentions the standard of the Internet. Users have a specific notion on how the Internet should operate, and as a web owner you shouldn�t do anything to dispel this image. Law of Pr�gnanz discusses our innate ability to simplify complex imagery, while the Law of Proximity discusses objects and their relation to one another.

Miller's Law brings attention to our mental capacity, stating that humans can only remember roughly seven pieces of information at a time. Keep this tidbit in mind if you don�t wish to bombard an audience. Parkinson�s Law stresses the importance of time. Until the designated amount of time has been sent, a task will inevitably �inflate.�

The eighth law, christened the Serial Position Effect, brings insight to �recall accuracy.� In essence, this law suggests that sequential patterns have a profound affect on memory. Tesler�s Law, much like many of the aforementioned laws, brings simplicity to the forefront. Tesler subscribes to the notion that simplicity is a crucial component of any developer creation; �when an application is simplified, users begin attempting more complex tasks.�

Finally, the Von Restorff effect proposes that while ordinary objects don�t go unnoticed, they certainly go unremembered. Giving your development a discernible edge can reap a number of benefits.
