What is a "psuedoschizo" decision?
A conflicting decision. Please ignore the word, my brain made it up.

Every pricing page should have GIFs

Re: Every pricing page should have GIFs
#172There's a UX problem on mobile. I have to click on something to make the GIF appear. What do I click? A link. Expected behavior of a link is to link me elsewhere, not to show a pop-up GIF, so I'm immediately confused when that happens. I also can't figure out how to make the link actually link. Does it link anywhere? Is it even a link or just Jscript onClick thingy? Do I have to click on the GIF to make it link, beca…
It should be an accordion that opens a detail view.

Point taken about making it clearer it's a popup rather than a link but... > You need drill down pages for these links. If I click one, I expect a page with detailed information, a drill down, not a pop-up summary GIF. I disagree here and much prefer browsing the summary information with a gif to having to click through every single feature into a new page.
Yes, I am rather stuck on the use of that link as a link-button. I argued furiously against them back in the day and, obviously, lost.

I like it more when items stay opened, instead of closing again when another item opens (like with an accordion).

It's a feature comparison page, so that's the fundamental design issue. The GIFs add pop, but the intent is to clarify. How does showing this info. on onHover or onClick in any UX achieve that result? It doesn't. As designed, it's an ad. It is. Look at it. If I'm comparing a product with a full page of features, I'm going to be scrolling up and down. The one thing I absolutely won't do is hover over 16 onHover inform…
Yep, you said it, the pricing page is, in fact, an advertisement of the product. It's not like you can easily compare the prices between two different products in the same segment. It's an ad. Embrace it. Leaving out the GIFs doesn't make it less of an ad. It just makes it… a worse ad? Also, does your boss not have a computer?
He does. He just likes the printer more. He also surfs the web on a Texas Instruments TI-85 graphing calculator, so go figure.
I'm not referring to the page as an ad, but fair enough. I see him applying a pop-up advertisement using the wrong UX element to a grid of information that doesn't benefit from it.
Wrong is the wrong word, as apparently a dotted link is and isn't a link. Indicates multiuse? That's clear as mud.
Re: Every pricing page should have GIFs
#176Not a bad idea in and of itself, but screw hover effects . I've come to really hate everything involving hover. On all sorts of websites there's some menu bar at the top or the side where it's way too easy for me to accidentally move my cursor over it and suddenly 1/5 of the page is blocked. I really wish that these things could just be replaced with a click. If I want to view a dropdown or something with dense detai…
> Not a bad idea in and of itself, but screw hover effects.
Article title implies inline images as a 'preview' but delivers tooltips.
Thumbnails would be better still.
Let me double down by saying: if your selection page has so many entries that thumbnails make the design unworkable, then you have too goddamned many options for people to choose from.
Go re-read The Paradox of Choice, come back and start bundling some of your options up.

#178Am I the only one who thinks the actual essence of the article is not the technical detail of using GIFs on hover, but the fact that you see a quick visual demo of yhe thing you are paying for on a pricing page?
On that matter, great idea sir! Will have it in mind

I'm chuckling at this because, every time I've launched a broadside against onHover, a crafty developer replies with an accordion.
You sly dogs.

>Expected behavior of a link is to link me elsewhere That may be true, but I certainly wasn't confused when I tapped it and saw the popup. On mobile, you could make the popup take up the whole screen with an easy X button and perhaps it would solve that issue (Minor as it may be)
