In this article, we will talk about the most important element of programming websites and programs, which are the "user interface" or "user experience", the so-called "UX" or "UI". The “user interface” or "user experience" is what determines whether a program or website is good or bad.
Well, what is the user interface or user experience, we will explain in this article the meaning of the two terms, the differences between them, and the skills that must be in the designer of interfaces and user experience.
A user interface (UI) is anything a user might interact with when using a program or website.
UI design focuses on appearance: the look of every element of the program, including buttons, text, images, check boxes, and any elements within the visual interface that the user interacts with.
User experience (UX) reflects the way a user interacts with the company's products and services. Taking into account the provision of effective solutions to the needs and expectations of the user, by delving into the study of user behavior to know what he wants and what he does not want.
We can say that the focus in the user interface (UI) is on form and design, which includes:
What does the product look like?
What style is used in its design (Classic - Modern)
While the focus in UX is on how the product works and how it is used, this includes:
What, when, where, how, and why does the user want / need to use this product?
User understanding of the product while using it.
What users can / cannot do with the product.
To be a successful UI / UX designer, you have to have it.
Which is called (the eye of a designer), and it is meant: that the designer has knowledge of printing patterns and colors that are difficult for the user to read, and a distinct vision of colors compatible with each other.
An additional feature that is very important to UI / UX designers is programming knowledge (or the basics). Because by doing this, you will be able to communicate with web developers on how to better implement your designs in HTML and CSS.
In conclusion, we hope this article has served you.
