The OG User Experience Ancient markets nailed UX before it was cool. Think about it:

• Clear pathways (like your website's homepage)

• Natural product grouping (hello, intuitive navigation!)

• Eye-level displays (we call that the hero section now)

• Busy stalls creating FOMO (aka social proof)

What's This Got To Do With Digital Design? At Kooka Studio, we're basically digital market architects. Here's how we apply these time-tested principles:

1. Flow That Feels Natural Just like market visitors naturally follow the widest paths, we design interfaces that guide users without them even noticing. No "You are here" signs needed!

2. Information That Unfolds Remember how market vendors show their best stuff at eye level, with more details for those who get closer? That's exactly how we structure websites – hook them with the good stuff, then reveal more as they explore.

3. Adaptive By Design Market vendors adjust their displays based on crowds and time of day. We do the same with responsive designs that look perfect on any device.

The Secret Sauce Here's what makes both ancient markets and modern websites work:

• Clear pathways to what you want

• Information that reveals itself naturally

• Social proof that builds trust

• Flexibility to adapt to different needs

Why This Matters For Your Business Whether you're selling spices in Pike Place or services online, the principles haven't changed – people want experiences that feel natural, engaging, and trustworthy.
