feedback - What will be the Best notifications and error messages?


As a UI architect, I am always wondering about the best format to display errors and notifications to users.


Which of the following examples is the best format?



  • Name is required

  • Name cannot be empty

  • Please enter name



Answer




There is a very simple rule that I use for myself: Error messages must not display error messages, they must display a solution message.


The user does not care what is wrong and why, he simply wants the issue solved.
