You don’t need a full redesign to make your website work better.

In many cases, it’s the little things — what we call Micro-UX (short for micro user experience). These are small details that make your website easier, smoother, and more pleasant to use.

They may seem minor, but they can make a big difference in how many visitors turn into customers.

Here are 6 quick fixes you can implement this week:

1. Make Buttons Feel Clickable

A lot of websites hide buttons in plain sight. If it looks like plain text or a generic box, most people won’t click it.

Fix this by adding small visual effects like:

• Color changes when you hover over the button

• A slight “press” animation when clicked

• Clear shapes and labels

These help users immediately know: “This is something I can click.”

2. Stop Layout Shifts While Loading

Ever open a website and things move around while the page loads? That’s called a layout shift — and it’s annoying.

You can fix this by using “loading placeholders” — simple visual blocks that hold the space while images or content load in. It keeps the layout stable and makes your site feel more polished.

3. Confirm When an Action Happens

If someone clicks “submit” or “buy,” don’t leave them hanging. Show a clear message like:

• “Thank you! We’ve received your message.”

• “Order confirmed.”

This is called feedback, and it reassures people that their action worked. No feedback = confusion.

4. Remove Dead Clicks

Sometimes elements look clickable (like icons or images), but nothing happens when you click them. These are called dead zones — and they frustrate users.

Solution: if something looks like a button or link, make sure it actually does something. If not, change the design so it doesn’t look clickable in the first place.

5. Don’t Override Normal Scrolling

Some websites change how scrolling works — for example, they lock the scroll, animate every section, or control the scroll speed. This is called scroll hijacking.

It might look cool, but it often annoys users. Stick with normal, smooth scrolling unless you have a really good reason not to.

6. Make Tap Targets Easy on Mobile

On mobile devices, people use their thumbs — not a mouse. That means buttons and links need to:

• Be big enough to tap easily

• Have enough space between them

If someone accidentally taps the wrong thing, they might leave your site. Make it effortless to navigate on a phone.

Good UX isn’t just about design — it’s about how your website feels to use.

These small details don’t take long to fix, but they can significantly improve how visitors interact with your site — and how many convert into leads or sales.
