===8. Aesthetic and Minimalist Design===
Every piece of information you put on a page competes with the relevant information, and diminishes the relative visibility (more content makes the UX worse).
So, ask yourself, is everything on the page absolutely needed to help the user achieve their goals? If not consider removing or simplifying things.

Make sure what the user came to see or do is visible and clear, and eliminate anything that may distract them. Ask yourself: is it clear what I am supposed to do and is there anything distracting me from completing my task?
