Social Dinning Platform

Goal of the Screen

The primary goal is to guide users through booking a dinner with minimal friction while allowing customization (budget, add-ons, and discounts).

UX Decisions & Design Choices

Visual Hierarchy & Layout

• Clear Sectioning: Information is structured in small, digestible chunks to avoid cognitive overload.
• Progressive Disclosure:
• The date selection is clear and easily accessible.
• Budget selection is emphasized.
• Add-ons and discounts appear only after choosing the budget, keeping the interface clutter-free.
• Typography:
• Headings use bold fonts for immediate scannability.
• Descriptions use a lighter weight to guide focus.
• White Space:
• Enhances readability by reducing unnecessary elements.
• Allows the most crucial elements (buttons, toggles) to stand out.

Psychological & Behavioral Design Principles

• Hick’s Law (Minimizing Choices)
• Users only focus on the essentials (date, budget, add-ons), reducing decision fatigue.
• Fitts’s Law (Touch Target Optimization)
• All interactive elements (budget buttons, toggles, CTA) are large enough for easy tap interaction.
• Cognitive Load Reduction
• Minimal distractions and progressive disclosure ensure a smooth decision-making process.
• Social Proof & Value Perception
• The emoji-based microcopy (💖, 🥂, 🛒) makes the experience friendly and approachable.

This design is well-structured, minimal, and intuitive. It balances usability with delight, ensuring users feel in control while making choices. Minor enhancements can further improve conversion rates and engagement. 🚀
