What is UI? User Interface Design
To help you start a good UI design career path, people at Designveloper has carried out a concise fundamental guide to understand what this job is all about! In this blog post, we will cover these 3 points:
- What is UI design?
- Why is UI design important?
- What are the UI designer’s tasks?
UI is the User Interface
In short, UI design or user interface design is a combo of tasks needed completing to make interfaces of a web app or a mobile app. If you have read our previous articles about UX design, then you might already know that UX is all about making the process of using a digital product smooth, effective and pleasant-to-use by creating a fast, seamless, and easy-to-use experience. It’s funny when UI works the same, however, this process mainly focuses on how the product looks, not how it feels like (that’s what UX does!). In other words, UI relates to the visual of the produce.
Why is UI design important?
Firstly, good design means good business. The way you create interfaces for your product will tell how serious and professional your business is through every element such as color scheme, layout, tab, button, typography, etc. As a consequence, the website or app is able to gain a user’s trust. Furthermore, businesses should execute this properly as no one notices a good visual but everybody will find out and criticize you if there is a tiny awful designed button!
UI designer’s tasks
When working in a small company, UI designers sometimes have to take on the responsibilities of UX designers even though they are 2 very different roles with distinct skill sets. This happens due to the fact that many businesses would like to cut down the expense or perhaps, they assume these tasks could be nicely done by only one person.
Therefore, people at Designveloper has conducted this part to clarify what a UI designer actually does so that businesses can understand the job and establish a great team of web designers themselves.
