Slippy UX

When a product is designed for “glance-ability”, delivering a service or helping to solve a problem by purposefully staying in the background or discreetly out of the way it is referred as Slippy UX. According to Jake Zukowski at Frog Design, the term Slippy UX was used to describe the design of a digital automobile screen. Slippy UX is intended to be invisible enough and non-distracting. As a result, the design attracts only appropriate and safe attention. Slippy Ux design ensures that the user gets only required information that he wants and gets back to the main task. It is nothing but simply minimizing all distractions and giving an undisturbed experience to lead the users to reach their goal quickly.

Simple is the best

Flat design is a design trend that connects mobile design and slippy design. Flat design was a sort of rebellion against skeuomorphic style of Apple and others. It is nothing but keeping the design simple and straight without any embellishments.  Keep it simple and clean visually while keeping it attractive and appealing to the users to understand what is important and what is interactive. A simple and neat design works perfectly both on a desktop as well as on a smart phone.
