An example of a product you are designing could be a site. Let's say you are building an E-commerce site:

  • Enjoyable could be nice UI and a little popup when you buy something
  • Usable could be it has some filters to find the right product
  • Useful could be a clear layout and goal in mind like buying the product
  • Equitable could be a language change setting and text to speech

Making your product like this will definitely encourage them to buy more, come back and have a special bond between the product and the user!
