Difference between UI and UX

Developing a product that people love often requires both good UI and good UX. For example, you could have a banking app that looks great and has intuitive navigation (UI). But if the app loads slowly or makes you click through numerous screens to transfer money (UX), it doesn’t matter how good it looks.  You’re probably not going to want to use it.

On the other hand, a website could be loaded with unique, helpful content organized in a logical and intuitive way. But if it looks dated or you can’t easily figure out how to move between screens or scroll through options, you’re likely to click away from the site.

Tasks and responsibilities: What do they do?

Both UI and UX designers play key roles in the product development lifecycle. Let’s take a closer look at each.

UX designers focus their work on the experience a user has with a product. The goal is to make products that are functional, accessible, and enjoyable to use. While the term UX often applies to digital products, it can also be applied to non-digital products and services (like a coffee pot or a transportation system). Common tasks for a UX designer might include:

• Conducting user research to identify any goals, needs, behaviors, and pain points involved with a product interaction

• Developing user personas based on target customers

• Creating user journey maps to analyze how a customer interacts with a product

• Building wireframes and prototypes to hone in on what the final product will look like

• Performing user testing to validate design decisions and identify problems

• Collaborating with stakeholders, UI designers, and developers
