What we have learnt

  • User Experience (UX) encompasses all interactions a user has with a product, influencing their overall satisfaction.
  • User Interface (UI) is the visual part of a product that users interact with, significantly affecting usability and user interaction.
  • Accessibility ensures that digital products cater to people with disabilities, making them usable for everyone.

Key Concepts

-- User Experience (UX)
The totality of a person's experience with a product, encompassing all interactions and their feelings about it.
-- User Interface (UI)
The point where users interact with a digital product, made up of visual elements and interactive components.
-- Usability
A measure of how effectively and efficiently users can interact with a user interface.
-- Information Architecture (IA)
The organization and structure of information within a digital product to help users find content easily.
-- Prototyping
Creating an early model of a product to test ideas and gather user feedback.
