So, let us understand in simple terms UI / UX that can make
these conversations meaningful for us. UX Design refers to the term User
Experience Design, while UI Design stands for User Interface Design. Both
elements are key to a product and are closely interrelated. But even though
they are interrelated, the roles themselves are different, referring to very
different parts of the process and the design discipline. A simplification of
the definition would be where UX Design is a more analytical and technical
field, while UI Design is closer to what we refer to as graphic design. This
perhaps oversimplify the difference, but we will complement the explanation in
a minute.
• User experience design (UXD or UED) is the process of
enhancing customer satisfaction and loyalty by improving the usability, ease of
use, and pleasure provided in the interaction between the customer and the
product.
This implies that regardless of its medium, UX Design
encompasses any and all interactions between a potential or active customer and
a company. As a scientific process it could be applied to anything, street
lamps, cars, etc., but, it is a term more used in the digital industry for web
and mobile applications
UI or User Interface design, on the other hand, is the look
and feel, design, presentation and interactivity of a product. In other words,
UI is the complement of the UX design, and the process to use the research,
testing, development, content and test results into an easy to use, attractive
and responsive design for customers. In general Terms, UI is responsible for
transforming products strength into a great visual appeal to boost user
experience.I strongly suggest you to
So in conclusion:
• User Interface Design is responsible for creating and best
enhancing the user's experience.
• User Interface Design is a process of visually guiding the
user through a product's interface in an attractive, guiding and responsive way
for users.
Is One More Important Than The Other?
I am sure you already know the answer based on the previous
lines.
"Something that looks great but is difficult to use is
exemplary of great UI and poor UX. While Something very usable that looks
terrible is exemplary of great UX and poor UI."
So, they are both crucial, and complement each other. They
involve different professional profiles and the capacity to work together
targeting a single objective: The best experience for the user, the most
appealing way possible.
