The 8 Golden Rules of Design

Strive for consistency
Enable frequent users to use shortcuts
Offer informative feedback
Design dialog to yield closure
Offer simple error handling
Permit easy reversal of actions

Support internal locus of control
Reduce short-term memory load

These principles are obviously not the only ones, but they do help designers make decisions during a design process. 

The core of these principles is ‘always keep users in mind’.
