Empty State Design: LinguaSphere
The design choices for the empty states of LinguaSphere are both strategic and user-centric, aiming to optimize the user experience:
- Brand Presence: The masthead logo, featured in color, anchors each page visually, drawing immediate attention and reinforcing the app's identity, even in empty states.
- Minimalist Approach: An uncluttered interface with high-contrast text enhances readability and focuses user attention on the core messages, reducing cognitive load and ensuring accessibility.
- Clear Communication: Direct messaging tailored to specific user situations—whether beginning lessons, completing lessons, or facing connectivity issues—provides clarity and guides users to the next step.
- Engaging Calls to Action: Prominent buttons like "Start Learning," "Review Lessons," and "Refresh Page" serve as clear directives, making navigation intuitive and encouraging progress through the app.
- Consistent Experience: A uniform layout across different states ensures familiarity and ease of use, providing seamless interaction with the app.
- Positive Engagement: Encouraging language fosters a positive interaction, effectively transforming potential user frustration into opportunities for engagement and more profound connection with the platform.
This design strategy balances aesthetics, functionality, and user encouragement, ensuring that each empty state is not merely a placeholder but a continuation of the app's educational journey.

Good and clean UI.
But it could be confusing for the user to have the same illustration for all your empty states. Also the type of illustration chosen and the layout of the page doesn't give the feel of empty state.
My suggestion will be to chose an illustration that describe better each state, have a concise but clear in the message, and also a better layout to give that sensation of empty state page.
With those improvements, the work should be perfect !
Great job on crafting the messages for your empty pages! Those are great messages for an educational platform.
One area for improvement is the illustrations. While they are beautiful, they could be more tailored to each empty page to better convey the message.
Additionally, consider refining the copy. Removing the dots in buttons can enhance clarity, as dots are not typically used in button microcopy. The use of "Oops" to inform users of a mistake or a page not found may feel outdated and could potentially annoy users.
Similarly, "0 lessons completed" might sound a bit discouraging to users. Consider whether these messages are necessary, as the rest of the copy is straightforward and clear.
Overall, keep up the great work!
Your effort on the empty state design is apparent and it's clear you've put thought into it. However, tweaking the copy to be more encouraging could give users a little nudge to get started — think positive reinforcement over stating "0 lessons completed." Also, simplifying CTAs by ditching the period punctuation (.) can make it more inviting and action-inspiring. And try illustrations that speak directly to the context — it might resonate more with users. Keep up the great work, a few adjustments and it'll be even better!
Your empty state designs for LinguaSphere show a clear focus on consistency, readability, and guiding users with strong CTAs — that’s a real strength in making the app feel intuitive. One area you could refine is tailoring the illustrations and copy a bit more to each scenario, since context-specific visuals and lighter phrasing (e.g., avoiding “0 lessons completed”) can make the experience feel more encouraging. Overall, you’re definitely on the right track — a few small adjustments will make these empty states even more engaging and supportive for learners 🚀.
