Has anyone statistics for the number of users completing a registration for a service?
I have a client and their website has a registration form the user needs to complete before they can use a service. The registration has 3 steps.
The percent of users completing this process once they complete the first step…

One gif shows changes in minutes affecting hour and in another gif, that does not happen. Please help me to figure out this.
Select from option list and apply action
I have several labels that are associated with text, e.g.
Default : Text
Label1 : 123
Label2 : 456
Label3 : 789
The UI for this is currently structured as follows:
[Default ▾] [Save] [Save as] [Delete]
[ Text
]
where [Default ▾] is a list of all labels and will populate the text field with the associated text on change.
[Save] will save the text currently in the field with the current selected label.
[Save as] allows the user the save the text with a different label (through a javascript prompt) that will then appear in the drop down.
[Delete] allows the user to delete the current text and label.
The question: What is the best way to structure the UI? Is it fine to have these actions as separate buttons, or would it be possible to include them in another dropdown, e.g.
[Default ▾][Actions ▾]
where [Actions ▾] contains, Save, Save as and Delete.

User Experience Design vs Design Thinking: What’s really the difference?
I’ve been hearing a lot of talk about “Design Thinking” as a “thing” but every time I look up information on it, it seems to be exactly what we do in UX design but just in other areas.
A definition floating out there is “De…
What are your top 20 books in HCI and UX Design?
Thanks for A2A
As I am a keen reader, books on UX design, usability and HCI are now the integral part of my life and work. I always find them a highly helpful source for everyone who deals with UX/HCI. So, my top 20 books list looks as follows (it’s just a list, in random order, no any rating here):
- Steve Krug “Don’t make me think“
- Don Norman “The Design of Everyday Things“
- Alan Cooper “About Face 3: The Essentials of Interaction Design“
- Russ Unger, Carolyn Chandler “A Project Guide to UX Design“
- William Lidwell, Kritina Holden, Jill Butler “Universal Principles of Design“
- Cennydd Bowles, James Box “Undercover User Experience Design“
- Rex Hartson, Pardha Pyla “The UX Book“
- Jesmond Allen, James Chudley “Smashing UX Design”
- Susan Weinschenk “100 Things Every Designer Needs to Know About People” and “100 MORE Things Every Designer Needs to Know About People“
- Jesse James Garrett “The Elements of User Experience: User-Centered Design for the Web and Beyond“
- UX-Pin team “UX Design Process Best Practices“; “Timeless UX Design Trends”, “The User Experience Guide Book For Product Managers”, “User Testing and Design”, “Interaction Design Best Practices“
- Bill Moggridge “Designing Interactions“
- Jenny Preece, Yvonne Rogers, Helen Sharp “Interaction Design: Beyond Human-Computer Interaction“
- Bill Buxton “Sketching User Experiences: Getting the Design Right and the Right Design (Interactive Technologies)“
- Jakob Nielsen “Designing Web Usability“
- Thomas Tullis, William Albert “Measuring the User Experience: Collecting, Analyzing, and Presenting Usability Metrics (Interactive Technologies)“
Here I have to stop as the number mentioned in the question is over, although, of course, there are lots of more books helpful and useful for UX design process.
My particular personal love are e-books from UX-Pin team (UXPin). I came across one of their books accidentally, surfing the Net, and since then I have been the one who doesn’t miss the free resources on UX/UI which they kindly and regularly share.
I also deeply believe that not only designers but also project managers and sales managers dealing with design tasks have to take their time on reading those books as they will get deeper understanding of the process and will be able to influence it more efficiently. That is actually what we do in Tubik Studio : here we have the studio library of books on UX/UI design, which we read and discuss regularly to absorb the experience of well-known experts and combine it with the latest trends in design sphere.
