As designers, we often need inspiration for better creative thinking. Design patterns could help us get the ideas that we need to make our creative juices flow and to design something unique and amazing. Additionally, the established design patterns even provide solutions to some of the common usability problems.UI design patterns, for instance, provide solutions for recurring user interface problems. This post is intended to help you learn about the 3 best approaches to selecting the right UI design patterns for your site.

Lazy Sign-up Design Pattern.

Keep in mind that the majority of users want to try out your site first – to see if it meets their expectations – without having to become a registered member. Simply put, users prefer browsing the site prior to completing a formal account registration.

The above mentioned UI design pattern will enable a user to access your site, whilst leaving the need to submit information for account registration for later time. One great example of a website that utilizes the lazy registration UI pattern. After allowing users to conduct a couple of keyword searches, the site asks them to sign-up to continue with their search process.

Allow Users To Login Through Their Existing Social Accounts.

Despite providing your visitors with immediate immersion using the lazy sign-up design pattern, you still might fail to encourage visitors to create an account. One possible reason could be that your registration process requires filling in more form fields than necessary.

Basically, users want the sign-up or login process to be easier and don’t want to be forced to create a new account. One possible way to deal with such an issue is to integrate sign-up methods in your website that give your users the ability to sign-up using their existing accounts.

Allow Users to Quickly Jump to Specific Website Sections

Nowadays, almost every user wants quick access to some specific piece of content or a particular section of a website. In fact, users want to directly access the content or functionality they’re seeking in a website.

Chances are that your website lets your visitors hit a tab or scroll up and down the page regardless of their location on your page. You may be using the infinite scroll pattern to add the scrolling effect. However, adding such an effect can result in making the page too long to load. And returning back to a certain page after scrolling down to several pages can give your users a hard time. This might frustrate your users causing them to abandon your site.
