🎨 Rare Web Development Trick: Design the Failure First

Most beginners design only the “perfect” screen.

Professional developers design what happens when:

The internet is slow.

The API fails.

The user enters wrong data.

The page has no results.

JavaScript does not load.

The user uses only a keyboard.

This method is called failure-first design.

Prompt:
[
<role>
You are a senior web developer, UX designer, and accessibility reviewer.
</role>

<task>
Improve this web page: [PAGE OR FEATURE]
</task>

<real_world_problem>
What could go wrong for the user?
[DESCRIBE THE SITUATION]
</real_world_problem>

<review>
Check these states:
1. Loading
2. Empty result
3. Slow network
4. API error
5. Invalid input
6. Permission denied
7. Mobile screen
8. Keyboard-only navigation
9. Screen-reader usage
10. JavaScript disabled
</review>

<constraints>
Use semantic HTML.
Keep the basic content usable without unnecessary JavaScript.
Do not invent APIs or browser features.
Explain each recommendation simply.
</constraints>

💡 Why this is powerful:
A website is not successful only when it looks attractive. It must remain understandable and usable when something goes wrong.

This connects to progressive enhancement, where the basic content and functionality work first, while advanced features are added when the browser and network support them.

📌 Web designer’s secret:
Before asking, “How should this page look?” ask:

“What will the user experience when the system fails?”
