TLDRvia the TL;DR App

Object-Oriented User Experience helps with the defining of the object that imitates the real model of your users, providing an arena for team communication.

OOUX is all about defining certain objects in the problem domain you are solving for, before any sort of sketching, wireframing and most importantly and definitely before interaction design. Giving you a shared language, and with team cohesion, designing object-oriented can also be a help with

- Matching your user’s natural model, giving a better experience

- Ensuring simplicity, reducing any accidental complexity because of irrelevant design elements.

- The growth and maintenance of your product: Objects can be iterated on with no interference or effects on the rest of the system. New objects can be folded gracefully.

- Build better APIs with portable, independent objects.

- Get positive remarks with SEO from a structured content and appropriate

valuable cross-linkings.

It helps you get a clear understanding and a clear vision of how things need to design, to release the product into the world.

How does the process work?

- Mapping is the first step that the developers start with. Mapping the objects, consisting of the problem and then interpreting the objects by reverse engineering the design, it happens after examining the wireframes or prototypes.

- Keeping in mind about each object communicating with the other, will one object be able to develop similar ones.

- But talking about web designing, there comes a slight difference. The design process is procedure oriented because it starts with the drill-down pyramid or maybe taking a linear task flow approach.

Ways of connecting content modelling and objects

Content is not really the part where designers play the role in, but the involvement of the same lies right there. implementation of templates and modules can be reused, but they become of no use until the users real-time model is not matched.
