What is Affordance?

In the world of design, affordance is a crucial concept. It refers to the way an object or interface suggests its own use—like a door handle inviting you to pull or a button on a website signaling that it’s clickable. In the digital space, affordances shape user experiences, ensuring that interfaces are intuitive, functional, and delightful.

That’s exactly what this blog is about: making design more intuitive, accessible, and meaningful. Whether you’re a budding UX designer, a seasoned web developer, or a graphic artist looking to sharpen your skills, Affordance is here to guide you through the ever-evolving world of design.
