UI design stands for User Interface Design while UX design alludes to the term User Experience Design. User Interface Design is the design websites, programming applications and machines with the point of convergence of user’s connection and experience, the point is to make the user interface basic and efficient. User Experience Design is the way toward reinforcing the consumer loyalty and unwaveringness of improving the value, enable ease of use between the user and the product. User Experience encompasses all qualities of end user’s collaborations with the organization, its products, and services.
UX design is a more scientific and specialized field while UI design firmly identified with graphical design, however, the obligations are more muddled. Both are obligatory for the progression of any website. The designer can’t consider UI without UX; it appears as “a painter doing an artwork without any concept”.
UI/UX plays a vital role in building mobile applications for various businesses. The earlier UI design was completely oriented on a particular platform but as technology got improved and to meet ever-growing consumer demand, the business started thinking out-of-the-box. A rich UI/UX plays a significant role in reducing the cost of creating multi-platform applications meaning it not only provides flexibility but design and details ought to but put in its framework.
Although it is clear that both UI and UX are inter-connected with each other, it is also essential to know the difference between the duos.
1. UX is not a UI
The role of a UX designer is to design the user flow, record different steps that a user needs to take while signing-up for your website newsletter, for example. What are the steps and details they need to enter to get a newsletter and how they will get the confirmation for the same?
This process is then passed to the UI designer. He/she will then polish those procedures by adding an element of beautification such as color, style, and emphasize on the original design.
2. UX makes interface useful; UI design makes interface beautiful
As said earlier, the UX designers will design the process and flow of the given product. The main objective of a designer is to bring value to the targeted product, which is then validated through testing. On the contrary, the UI designer makes the same process beautiful.
To make it simpler, let’s put it in this way. Consider yourself as a UX designer and your friend as a UI designer. You decide what steps a visitor/website user should follow the get regular updates of a company through the mail. Once you’re done with the process and it is validated, your friend will come into the picture. He will now make the entire process look beautiful by adding color schematics, animation, and other graphical representations to make it look rich and better.
In the above-explained scenario, a UX designer is a person who builds a house while UI designer is a person who does the interior work, painting work and other beautification to make a house look home.
3. UX prompts website visitor to accomplish goals; UI makes an emotional attachment
Normally, companies build a website where they prompt the user to take certain steps. This process is built by a UX designer or a respective UX design agency. It is similar to developing a core concept of a project.
Once the core concept is ready and tested for validation, a UI developer comes into the picture. He/she will be responsible to build an emotional attachment with a website visitor and compel him to take the process. For instance, let’s take mobile app UI design; although the core concept is built by UX consultant, UI designer is responsible to make a connection between a user and the system interface.
If you have never seen User Experience work in practice, never even used the term at work, it is still difficult to imagine what User Experience Designers actually do. At Pixerio we have UI UX Services that focuses on the process which we will use to illustrate the profession.
Conclusion
In conclusion, we can say that in today’s fast-paced society, it has become mandatory for websites/applications to respond quickly and efficiently as well as attractively. Design and software ought to provide rich user experience because it is what a consumer or a website visitor looks for. If your website fails to provide expected experience, users more likely to stay away from your business thinking you are not genuine and reliable.
