When mockups and reality collide

I had a client request a complete redesign last week, only to end up asking for the original layout with a different color scheme. It’s like they think changing the color will magically fix all their usability issues! Anyone else experience this kind of client logic?

It’s like asking a chef to fix a burnt meal by just changing the plate — i’ve learned to push back a bit when that happens; maybe a quick usability test could help them see the bigger picture. Ever tried that?

I totally get it! Sometimes clients think it’s all about the color, forgetting about the actual user experience. Have you tried showing them a before-and-after with usability feedback?

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‌⁠‌‍‌⁠‌‍‌​‌‍‍‍​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠‍​​⁠‌⁠​⁠‍‌​⁠‌⁠​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠‌‌​⁠​​​⁠​⁠​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‌​‍‌‍‍‍‌⁠‌​​⁠‍‌‌‌​​‌⁠‍‌‌‍⁠‍‌‍‍⁠​⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌​‍​‌‌‍​‌​​⁠‌‌​‌‌⁠‌‍‌‍⁠‌​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌

That’s so true! It’s like they think the magic is just in the hue. Have you ever tried mockups with usability tweaks to show them the impact?

I had a similar situation recently when a client insisted on changing just the colors on a landing page. I suggested we run a quick A/B test with different designs to illustrate how a complete approach could boost conversions. It’s amazing what hard data can do to shift their mindset. Have you thought about presenting any user research to back up your perspective?
