No system can work without errors. It can be user’s errors or system’s fails. In both cases, it’s very important to handle errors in a right way as they are crucial for a good user experience. Each error message is a tiny roadblock that gets in the way of what we were trying to do. Depending on the context, an unhelpful message can be the difference between continuing or giving up. Therefore, it is important to maintain a balance. It can be done by following the 3 vital parts of a good error message:

Clear text message.
Right placement.
Good visual design

I feel that the hardest challenge is to maintain the balance of functionality and visual appeal in a display design as it must be attractive enough to captivate the customers, simple and minimalistic so that users have a easy and great experience and the menu functions and the buttons must be well placed to improve functionality. Although it is hard to maintain it, successfully completing this will ensure a good rating from the customers and users.
