It’s not always about animations or flashy UI — sometimes, small thoughtful touches make your app feel polished and trustworthy.

Here are 5 things I try to include in every web project (client or personal):

1. Loading States for Everything
Whether it's a button, card, or form — a subtle “loading…” indicator builds trust.
Even a 300ms delay feels better when users know something is happening.

2. Empty State UX
Don't leave blank white spaces.
Show a helpful message like:
"You haven’t added any tasks yet. Click + to get started."
It gives users guidance and makes the UI feel complete.

3. Mobile-First Touch Optimizations
Not just responsive — actually touch-optimized.
✅ Bigger tap areas
✅ Avoid hover-only interactions
✅ Add scroll momentum for sliders and carousels

4. 404 and Error Page Personalization
A witty or friendly 404 page keeps users engaged, even when things break.
Add a “Back to Home” or “Report This” button to recover the user experience.

5. Consistent Microcopy
Use the same wording across the app.
Don’t say “Submit” in one place and “Send” in another — it creates subconscious friction.
