Task Framing
Task Framing is a method in behavioral design where designers shape how a user sees a task by choosing what information to show first and how to group steps. When a task is broken into smaller, clear actions, people feel more confident and are more likely to finish it. Designers can use visual cues, like progress bars or checklists, to help users see what to do next. Changing the order of steps or highlighting certain choices can guide people to better decisions without extra effort. This approach helps people focus on what matters most in the moment and makes the whole experience feel easier.
