AI takes on synthesizing research, heatmap and session analysis and prototype generation.

What is UI and UX design?

UI and UX design shapes how a digital product works and feels, from the flow of each task to the details of every screen, based on research with the people who use it. Good UX means users complete what they came to do without needing help.

Also known as UX design, user experience design, product design, UX audit and usability testing

Who needs UI and UX design?

Product teams whose users drop out of key flows, companies launching a new app or portal, and those whose support volume points to confusing design.

A good fit when: users drop out of a flow and nobody can say where or why.

How UI and UX design works

  1. Research

    Interviews and analytics show where and why people struggle.

  2. Design

    Flows and interfaces are redesigned, with prototypes generated quickly for testing.

  3. Test

    Real users try the prototypes before anything is built.

  4. Improve

    After launch, behavior data guides ongoing improvements.

Common questions about UI and UX design

What is the difference between UI and UX?

UX is how a product works: the flows, structure and ease of completing tasks. UI is how it looks: the visual design of each screen. Both are needed for a product people like using.

What is a UX audit?

A UX audit reviews a product against usability principles and real behavior data to find where users struggle, with prioritized recommendations.

How many users do you need for usability testing?

Small rounds of around five users per round usually reveal most major problems, especially when repeated after each round of changes.
