User experience design helps users achieve their goals by making products clear, easy to use, and delightful to interact with. Navigating successfully to achieve goals gives users a sense of achievement and positive reinforcement.
Good user experience design builds trust between you and your users, especially when it comes to issues like security and accessibility.
User frustration with an application or website can lead to them abandoning it altogether. UI/UX identifies pain points and reduces friction, creating a seamless user experience.
UX or User Experience stands for the overall experience a user has with a product or service. The emphasis is on usability when it comes to design. Assessing how easy or difficult it may be to complete specific tasks in order to achieve an end goal helps identify pain points that take away from a users complete experience. UX determines methods for improving the ease-of-use by leveraging and building on different features of the design such as efficiency, memorability, likelihood of error and discoverability.
User Interface or UI focuses on the ocular look and feel of the interface being designed. UI designers concentrate on the visual design of each element and general aesthetic of the application including buttons, fonts, images, colour palettes, and more. To ensure the overall design is cohesive, directional, and follows a hierarchy of information to aid the user along their journey, UI design makes certain that the interface is as intuitive as possible. This allows users to know where they can click or tap and where they should not with visual indicators and responses to help guide them towards their end goal.
UI and UX work together. UX defines the requirements and best approach to take to get users to their end goal and UI supplies both the visual cues for user direction and also the aesthetic visuals and indicators that support a brand’s look and feel.
