What does empty states mean?
What are empty states? Empty states are moments in a user's experience with a product where there is nothing to display. First use, user cleared, no results, and errors are four of the most common types of empty states.
Why is empty state important?
Empty states present an opportunity to provide contextual help relevant to the user's task. These help messages are sometimes called pull revelations because they show up only when the user interacts with the corresponding UI element and they are not “pushed” in any obtrusive or interruptive way.
How do you write an empty state?
Write in sentence case and don't use punctuation unless it's a question. Use the heading to describe the empty state or as an opportunity to tell people what they can do.
What are zero states?
Empty states (also known as “zero state”) in UX/UI design is a page or a component of a product that has not yet been filled with content. These areas are meant to display content eventually. However, it is contingent on the completion of a certain task(s) or action(s) on the user's end.
