Here’s a couple more…

Provide consistent and more salient call to action options – the design is a complete mess and users couldn’t be bothered to carry on their journeys

provide safeguards and reassurance to security conscious users – no-one trusted your site because it looks like it was designed by a 5 year old

The usability of many UX documents is patchy; style guides that are vague and hard to translate into code. Usability requirements ditto. Lack of prioritisation. etc.

“We’ll need to begin with a fresh information architecture”
– This is such a mess, your users cannot find anything!

“I don’t think my organisation is quite capable of handing this job but I know one that would be well suited”
– This is going to be a nightmare job so I’m gonna pass it to a competitor and watch them crash and burn!

Sometimes brutal honesty is needed, sometimes it’s not.

The opposite doesn’t always work well too. I guess the right way to say things is in the middle.

You believe saying “The page is a cluttered mess.” is the best way to go?
