Abstract	Model driven engineering provides solutions to create user interfaces (UI), especially in the case of complex UIs such as adaptable UIs. However, they suffer from the poor quality of the generated UIs. This paper addresses this drawback by integrating aesthetics and usability study steps in a model driven development process, based in the M2Flex metamodel. M2Flex was used to define a "flexibilized" version of the UsiXML methodology, which is dedicated to the development of adaptable UIs. Adjustments to the "flexibilized" version of the UsiXML are submitted to be consistent with the findings of an experiment which shows that shows that 1) perceived aesthetics improves the user's evaluation only at the mere exposure stage; 2) usability improves the users' evaluation only after some use experience.
