What is UI & UX design?
User Interface (UI) design is the visual aspect of how your software’s interface looks and feels.
User Experience (UX) design is a holistic approach to how a user interacts with and experiences your system.
Optimised UI and UX design are both vital for high-performing digital services. Ask yourself:
- Is your software, app or website’s interface out of date? Or just plain horrible?
- Have you tested your user experience for better ways to serve your users?
- Would your revenues increase if your user’s experience was optimised?
If you answered yes to any of the above, you might want to consider updating your UX & UI designs.
Why are UX and UI design important?
“If you think good design is expensive, you should look at the cost of bad design.” — Ralf Speth
Bad design isn’t hard to find. From overly complex accounting software, to outdated interfaces, to ‘Help’ functions which are anything but helpful.
Bad UI and UX design can:
- Reduce competitiveness – for revenue and user satisfaction
- Create stress and confusion – information overload and long-winded user journeys
- Be inefficient – manual/repetitive processes and unnecessary steps.
- Be unattractive – outdated, ugly or dull
- Fail to do its job – not convert customers, users can’t easily achieve what they want
Good UI and UX design can:
- Delight – services become simple, useful and compelling.
- Empower users – more focus, intuition and autonomy.
- Improve efficiency – get the job done faster and more effectively.
- Spark innovations – free-up time to be creative and add value.
- Reduce risk – comprehensive user testing reduces risk of failure.
