Simplexity
Simplexity
Dispersing the obvious and welcoming the meaningful

When ‘Simple’ blends with ‘Complex’ as system elements diversify piece together specific challenges.
Simple interfaces tend to improve the usability of complex systems
In the canny words of any scientist, designer, manager, or developer, complexity is a slippery idea; one that defies almost every endeavor to tame it within a confinement. Simply put; things which seem intricate can be preposterously unambiguous whilst things which come across as simple can be bewilderingly complex.
Every designer and product manager hankers after achieving product simplicity in the exigent digital era. Creating or developing a simple design or product which is not too onerous yet lucrative at the same time is what every enterprise thrives for.
Designing for Product Simplicity
Simplicity is also the root cause of the competition of products between technology companies. Go ahead and ask someone why their eyes are constantly transfixed out of love on their Apple iPhone or Apple MacBook screens. I bet they’ll say, “Because it’s simple!” If you probe further, most fans or users of the products will find themselves unable to express in words how and why it’s simple. Simplicity in design is to get to the ethos of a core experience when a product speaks directly with consumers about solving their real problems in an elegant way.
An incessant scuffle has been spiraling around in an attempt to sprinkle just the right amount of simplicity and complexity in any product development lifecycle. It may comprise feature, design, or how it functions in the hands of the user. The right balance is marked where users perceive the product and decide whether to purchase or dismiss it. There is always a shift between both sides where we find a common, acceptable point where there is enough simplicity with apt complexity to make it work. This constant shift aids product managers and designers to experiment, brainstorm ideas, find products value points, and comprehending what is required. Initially, in the early phase of product development, frequency is high but phrases, as we know of the product, are dependent on user needs.
It’s such a simple product!
This is most likely one of the best compliments you could get on the product you created. Building a digital product is all about encapsulating complexity behind an elegant user interface.
“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.”
Leonardo Da Vinci
Everyone yearns to use, design, and develop simple products, which are easy to use. What it means and how to get to a simple well-designed product with good enough features and functionality and still retain its simplicity is indeed an artist’s work.
