The phrases UI/UX are increasingly used in today’s environment that calls for creativity and technical know-how in order to be relevant. These are also used to describe all the ideas and specialties, which have been there even before the advent of abbreviated terminology.
The actual fact of User Interface (UI) as well as User Experience (UX) is that both UI/UX are the two sides of the same coin. Both are keeping up the relationship between the users and their products. The User Interface (UI) describes the dealing with the as well as and the products, while another, the user experience (UX) is dealing with the user’s experience and the observation of the products. Moreover, simply saying, the User Interface (UI) deals with technical as well as formal features of a site and the user experience (UX) is dealing with the understanding and response to the user.
When you first see a website, you’re immediately confronted with the look and feel of the design; the overall aesthetic is your first impression, and it’s often what makes a user want to explore further.
As such, it’s an essential element to a good design. But it sometimes starts to overshadow the second and equally important component to a good website: its functionality.
A great user experience is far more dependent on how the site works than how it looks, so take a minute to make sure that your work is up to scratch, and that you’re holding true to the five essential principles of UX design outlined below.
The user experience of websites has improved by leaps and bounds over the years, but there are still sites out there that may leave you asking, “What were they thinking?!”
From a design perspective, it’s easy to get caught up in internal squabbles (“No, no, THIS is the content that has to be front and center”) or distracted by tools or methods (“I say we use lean UX on this project”). When this happens, we often forget that at the end of it all waits a person who wasn’t in on all these decisions, and just wants to get the information they need, buy the product or be entertained for five minutes while waiting for the train.
In the hopes it will help us all avoid these pitfalls, here’s a list of the five worst UX mistakes that people still make in website design.
The key to successful marketing is advertising a solution, and selling the tool that provides it. Put another way, by looking at the jobs people are trying to accomplish, marketers can better interact with their prospects. Now imagine we think about UX in the same way: the key to a successful product is creating a solution (a better way to make a hole), and not just a tool (the drill).
In one of the simplest form possible, UX, is also know as user usability and user experience. This term describes how the most basic user will use an application, a website, a program or anything that can actually “be used”. User Experience is based on how the user behaves. It is different than what gaining feedback is, because UX bases on how will the user reach its final goal or aim – buy the product, input the email address, or even simpler – click a button.
With so many apps being released in such a short period of time, designers need to really create apps that stand out. In this roundup we’re sharing 40 beautifuld mobile app designs with excellent UI experience in mind. Also at the end of the post you’ll find some more resources to follow top mobile app design trends.
Mobile apps are even changing the way we design anything nowadays! Everybody is pushing to higher resolution with new retina displays (ipad3) and I believe whole web will get super beautiful and sleek soon enough!
This is profoundly simple; a great illustration explaining the difference and use of UI and UX.
