The Role of Micro-Interactions in Boosting Time on Page

The digital landscape today is brimming with competing websites and apps, meaning minor details can make a major difference to your success. Micro-interactions are small details that can boost user experience (UX), helping you stand out and reducing bounce rates.

On their own micro-interactions are insignificant, but when implemented strategically, they can elevate your product or service, boosting engagement, and create a memorable experience.

Understanding Micro-Interactions

Micro-interactions are small feedback mechanisms that provide a specific purpose. They include four important parts:

  • Triggers – can be a click of a button or when certain conditions are met
  • Rules – this determines what happens when a trigger occurs, such as the toggle switch changing colour
  • Feedback – communicates to the user through visual, auditory, or haptic cues
  • Loops and Modes – these govern the temporal behaviour or response of the micro-interaction under different conditions. Loops determine repetition and changes in uses, modes are different states based on the conditions
