The Ultimate Trade-Off: Simplicity vs. Complexity in New Product Design

Description

When building new software or products, the most critical challenge is simplicity. You need to design something so intuitive that even a four-year-old could use it—because if it’s too complex, very few people will. You risk wasting time and money on a product that fails to resonate. Simplicity isn't just an aesthetic choice; it’s at the heart of whether your product will succeed or fail. Balancing the need for innovation with making your product simple enough for people to actually use is the ultimate trade-off every creator faces.
