UX/UI Design: keys to online success

To achieve success when you decide to build your web project, a host of parameters and requirements must be taken into account: how are you going to present the products? The services? Can we replace the famous “about” with “our story”? Who are our customers? How to seduce them?

These numerous questions that can be explored endlessly have a purpose that answers each of them unilaterally: UX/UI Design.

Today, we no longer create a site e-commerce or Showcase site, we design, write, design and develop an experience, cleverly balanced between simplicity, efficiency, elegance and relevance, which should be a pleasant moment for the user, just like any physical store!

What is the difference between UX Design and UI Design?

Often mixed, or even assimilated to the same definition, UX/UI Design are two disciplines that are however fundamentally different. However, the two go together in that UI Design has a considerable impact on UX Design.

What is UX Design (User Experience Design)?

UX Design refers to the creation of the overall experience of a user when interacting with a product, service, or system. She is deeply interested in understanding the needs, expectations and behaviors of users. The aim of UX Design is to make the user experience as intuitive, pleasant, and effective as possible. This involves user research, information architecture design, creation of wireframes and prototypes, and usability testing. UX design focuses on all aspects of the user experience with a product, including effectiveness, accessibility, usability, and emotional satisfaction.

What is theUI Design (User Interface Design)?

UI Design, on the other hand, is more specifically focused on the visual and interactive aspect of the user interface. It is the design of interfaces that users interact with directly, and includes elements such as page layout, color choices, fonts, fonts, buttons, icons, and animations. UI design aims to create an engaging, coherent, and aesthetically pleasing interface. While UX design focuses on the overall user experience, UI design focuses more specifically on the visual presentation and interactive responsiveness of the elements of an application or a website.

What is UX Writing, the youngest member of the family?

A profession entirely created by Google in 2015, especially for the Google Design division, UX Writing quickly established itself and spread everywhere across the Atlantic and arrived timidly in France. Her role? Guide the user through texts, inform and interact with them through any digital use. This discipline is a fundamental part of UX Design, as it focuses on using language and communication to improve the user experience.

The goal of UX Writing is to reduce confusion, eliminate ambiguities, and provide a smooth and intuitive experience while reading content.

UX Writing involves writing micro-texts such as buttons, error messages, instructions, menus, and even confirmation messages. However, don't think that a UX Writer is yawning when it comes to finding the right message for a button! He spends several hours exploring hundreds of synonyms to find the right word that will challenge the user to tag it.
