Truly exceptional experiences are crafted when complexity is removed whilst the level of power and control is maintained.Not an easy challenge and requires, dare I say it, planning. But sometimes the best planning isn't enough. You need to assess design all along the development process. Not always easiest on the developers but the best way to ensure adoption and user's preference for your product.
