But how does an application finally pass the test for the end user. Unless it is user friendly or easy to understand the competition is ready to take over. Here comes the importance of a Good UI/UX interface that would help your application make a cut above the rest.
- User Interface UX :
UX design refers to the term “user experience design”, while UI stands for “user interface design”. Both seems to be related isn’t it?
By UX we mean USER EX-PERIENCE, this term is not limited to the digital world but encompasses any product that one uses. It includes every interaction that the end-user has with the product. Not only does this term include simple usability, but includes many aspects like efficiency, comfort, whether it meets certain special requirements that the end user may be interested in or in other words how valuable the user experience is.
According to Jennifer Derome “There are many facets of your experience, none of which can stand on their own. For example, it’s a common mistake to equate usability to user experience. Usability addresses whether or not you’re able to achieve a task or goals with a product or service. But simply being able to achieve your task of picking up some carrots and paper towels at the grocery store doesn’t give us the whole picture of how you felt about your shopping trip.”
The field of user experience represents an expansion and extension of the field of usability, to include the holistic perspective of how a person feels about using a system. The focus is on pleasure and value as well as on performance. The exact definition, framework, and elements of user experience are still evolving.

- Difference between User Experience and User Interface:
User Interface refers to the simple usability of the product. In digital applications it refers to how easy to understand and accessible the various options provided are. It is one aspect of user experience. User interface is the space where interaction between humans and machines occurs.
Generally, the goal of user interface design is to produce a user interface that makes it easy, efficient, and enjoyable (user-friendly) to operate a machine in the way which produces the desired result (i.e., maximum usability). This generally means that the operator needs to provide minimal input to achieve the desired output, and also that the machine minimizes undesired outputs to the user.
- User Experience and User Interface in the Digital world:
User Experience and User Interface Design combines market research, client strategy and design to create a seamless user experience for process, services and products.
As a UX designer, one would also develop products, build strategy and customer service models.The idea is to create an entire experience for customers meshing together as a whole (Reference : A 10 Step Guide on How to Become a UX Designer in 2022 (millo.co)

Master the tools of the trade:
The tools that UX designers use include Adobe Photoshop, InDesign and prototyping options. However, one would also want to master:
- Researching buyer behavior through platforms such as Google Analytics
- Testing users through A/B platforms and figuring out multivariate testing methods
- Studying data and putting it into easy-to-understand charts and visual models
- Collaborating with other team members through online platforms and prototyping
- UI/UX Design: Career Prospects:
There are four phases in design
- User research
- Design

One has to have the necessary skills to manage all these phases.
It is important to build a portfolio with credible work. Initially one can take freelancing jobs and slowly move on to making it a career option.
