- 4. If UX web design is all about helping users accomplish meaningful tasks on a website, then UI design is the next stage in the process that makes compelling and aesthetically pleasing interfaces that connect emotionally with humans. In layman’s terms: How the product or service is “laid out”
- 5. UI designers are responsible for the transference of a brands strengths and visual assets to a product’s interface – in this case, a website – to optimise the user's experience.
- 6. They visually guide a website user through each stage via interactive elements, which are consistent and accessible across all platforms. Primary Navigation menu accross all pages
- 7. UI is the more technical side of design and may be responsible for creating a defined style guide and ensuring a cohesive design language is applied across the product or service.
- 8. An example of UI design could involve using analytics via heat mapping technology to decide whether a slider function or control spinning knob makes more intuitive sense when adjusting a graph on a web page or when deciding where to put call-to-action buttons on an email newsletter.
