User experience (UX) refers to any interaction which a user has with a product or service online. User Experience Design considers each element that shapes this interaction, how it makes the user feel, and how easy it is for the user to accomplish their desired tasks. This could be anything from how a physical product feels in your hand, to how straightforward the checkout process is when buying something online. The objective of UX design is to create simple, efficient, relevant, and all-round pleasant experiences for the user.
While User Experience is a collection of tasks focused on the optimisation of a product for its effective and enjoyable use, User Interface (UI) Design is its complement; the look and feel, the over-all presentation and interaction of a product. A UI without UX is like a painter slapping paint onto canvas without a thought, while UX without UI is like the frame of a sculpture with no paper mache on it. An impressive product experience starts with UX followed by UI. Both are essential for the productâs success.
