Have you ever stopped to think about the concepts UX & UI? Do you know what they really mean, or do you think these concepts don’t suit you? In this article we will detail these two acronyms because sometimes we tend to think that UX (User Experience) and UI (User Interface) are the same thing but they are not! Both work together and are essential to create a good user experience but they are very different parts of the process.
Relying on a UX & UI agency means not only improving user satisfaction but also knowing in detail the profile of your potential customer. Improved usability and a positive user experience translates into an increase in conversions which means an increase in sales.
But what does each one mean?
UX (User Experience) refers to the experience that any user has when interacting with a digital platform, device, application, etc. We could say that it is the result of what they do, what they think and fundamentally what they feel. The combination of these actions is what is understood as the user experience.
UI (User Interface) refers to the means through which the user communicates with a system. In other words, the user interface design is responsible for translating the UX into an attractive experience through the product interface by means of the Look&Feel, personality, interactions, color, etc. This user interface puts into practice all the decisions taken in the phases of information architecture, visual design and interaction design that have been previously defined in the UX Design process.
What are the main differences?
Both designs take into account the thoughts and emotions of users while they visit the website to achieve the best user experience and usability. The conjunction of UX & UI design is what makes the user feel comfortable on a website and make use of it. For this reason, these two concepts must be perfectly integrated, maintaining a fluid communication at all times.
At the end of the day, we can say that while UX design is in charge of transforming the web so that the user can easily find what he/she is looking for, UI design is in charge of making this path attractive and pleasant.
Why count on a UX & UI Agency for a digital strategy?
On many occasions companies make the mistake of allocating most of the resources of their digital strategy in actions focused on acquisition and loyalty, without taking into account that conversion is the key factor for other digital strategies to make sense.
