What is UX?

Summary: "User experience" (UX) covers every aspect of how a user interacts with a company, including its services and products.

UX vs. UI

It's important to distinguish between the overall user experience (UX) and the user interface (UI). For instance, a movie review website may have a flawless UI for finding films. Still, if the database only includes major studio releases, the UX will suffer for users seeking information on independent films.

Do you want to be a UX or a UI Designer?

Watch the following video to better understand the difference between UX and UI.

Usability

We should also differentiate between UX and usability. Usability is a quality attribute of the user interface that focuses on how easy, efficient, and enjoyable the system is to use. While this is crucial, the overall user experience is broader.

Usability is a quality attribute that evaluates how easy user interfaces are to use. The term "usability" also encompasses techniques for enhancing ease of use during the design process.
