Small websites are not the only ones tempted by the dark forces. Many of the world’s largest brands make use of dark patterns - some do so because of ignorance, while others lack the courage to admit their wrong doings. White Hat UX focuses on creating unique user experiences without a dark side. Leave the dark side and read the book. It is filled with inspiration to free yourself from the dark forces and join the next generation in user experience – White Hat UX.

136 pages. Written by Trine Falbe, Kim Andersen, Martin Michael Frederiksen. eBook. Late 2017.
