UX Myths is a free online resource that collects and debunks common misconceptions in user experience design. As a blog-based educational tool, it addresses widespread beliefs about UX practices that lack empirical grounding, helping designers understand which principles are rooted in reality and which are unfounded assumptions. The resource serves as a reference for practitioners seeking to separate evidence-based design practices from industry dogma.
Designers and teams can use UX Myths to validate or reconsider their current design practices. When facing pushback from stakeholders who cite common UX "rules," practitioners can reference the resource to ground discussions in evidence. The blog is particularly useful during project planning phases, when teams are defining design approaches, or when onboarding new team members who may have absorbed industry myths. It also serves as a learning tool for developers, product managers, and other cross-functional roles who need to understand UX principles more deeply.
UX Myths is designed for UX and UI designers, product managers, developers, and design leaders who want to strengthen their decision-making with evidence-based practices. It is especially valuable for professionals working in environments where design decisions are often challenged or where UX myths are treated as dogma. The resource also benefits educators, design teams, and organizations seeking to foster a culture of critical thinking about design practices. Visit UX Myths
