How often have you found the acronym UI and UX slapped together? Do you think they both are same? If so, then you are wrong. Don’t worry, you have landed on the right page. By the end of reading this article, you’ll have understood the difference between both.

It is common to see recruiters posting a job for UI/UX designers, and prefer those who understand both the areas. However, some people mistake both the terms as being same. That is not the case. Both UX and UI are quite close to each other, still, they can’t be considered the same thing.

What Is UX?

The term UX refers to User Experience design – how a user feel being at your web/app page? Does he find it easy? Is it easy to navigate? Is everything according to human psychology? 

The term UX is used for user experience design. User experience plays a major role in improving the SEO of a website and bringing more traffic. People tend to spend more time on web sites that provide a user-friendl environment.

A User experience designer is the one who takes care of the design of the website. It is the responsibility of user designer to conduct research, create ideas, understand the psychology and requirements of the user and discuss with the development team. In a professional development environment, a UX designer lays out the base of any design that will help in keeping the interest of user.

What Is UI?

Developing a UI is a delicate task and demands creativity and innovation. Developers put a tremendous amount of effort in preparing UI because UI is the first look of any platform.

Be it a traditional website or android app, casually designed UI will spoil all the efforts. If the UI of a website is not well-designed, the bounce rate will increase. User-friendly keeps the user engage in website and increase conversion rate.

So now, to make it short, let us sum up these two highly-confusing terms again.

A UI designer is the one who designs the interface of an app. Whatever we see at the first page of an app – including buttons, animations, etc – are designed by UI designer.

A UX designer conducts research and finds out what kind of design would satisfy its users. 

Then the UX designer evaluates the quality of design and recommends changes to be made – in case if there is any problem with the design. The UI designer then makes changes, and the iteration continues until the UX designer feels that the design is OK.
