Whether you know what UX is and the fundamentals of it, or just like any other person confused between UI and UX, we will get it all covered here. Most of us have heard the terms UI/UX together only, and it’s pretty obvious to get confused between the two. Here we will cover all fundamental information to get clear insights into UX.  

What is UX? 

Defining UX, “User Experience” refers to how people interact with any product. 

UX design is the process of creating products (digital or physical) that are practical and usable. Creating an enhanced experience for the user and making the product accessible is all about user experience. 

Key Principles of UX 

There are various UX principles we need to keep in mind while delivering any product, but you can internalize a handful of key ideas and apply them to your designs. Below are key principles that may help in your product user experience. 

Empathy

First and foremost is creating empathic designs. With empathy, designers can put themselves into users’ shoes, what problems they are facing and in need of solutions to that in their routine.  

Accessibility

The other most crucial element is accessibility. Since we design products for people, Our product must be capable of being used by as many people as possible. Designing with accessibility in mind enables people to perceive, comprehend, interact with, and contribute to the web. 

Usability 

No matter how aesthetically pleasing your design looks, it won’t help users get a magnifying experience till it’s easy to understand and use. A big part of UX design is to make services and products that are simple to use for people of all ages, abilities, and groups.  

Consistency 

Users expect products to share some similarities with other products they have used in the past; this makes it easy for them to get familiar with the new product without any additional learning costs.   

Validation and confirmation 

Validation is an important part of the UX process. Preventing errors should be the key goal of any designer. Any inputs that the website is taking from users such as form fields or OTP in payment gateways, captcha needs to be validated and confirmed.
