Feedback

Provide clear and immediate feedback for user actions, such as successful completion of a task, error notifications, and loading indicators.

  • Provide confirmation of completion for actions such as saving, adding uploading, etc. 
  • Let users know when they need to take action and what that action is 
  • Let users know when the system is processing an action and they need to wait – for example use a progress bar to show processing time 
  • Ensure assistive technology is able to keep users informed of dynamic content changes in the page (e.g. an error message) by using Aria live regions. 
  • User colour to reinforce messaging (e.g. red for errors, green for success)
