UI Design, UX Design Services are Different
By Tory Darling, ​Codal Inc
______________________________________________________
When it comes to​ ​discussing UI and UX design services, many assume that those
terms are the same and can be used interchangeably. That common notion is one that
is incorrect and knowing the difference between the two is key.
UX design agencies and UI design services are in existence because their processes
are completely different. Below is a review of the difference between the two on areas of
commonality, but processes and goals are vastly different.
Design
A full process is needed for both UX designers and UI designers, but the way they go
about it is different. For UX, the main purpose is to develop a seamless and easy
interactive design for the user. But for UI, the process is to create a visual design, in
which focuses on the aesthetics.
The Makeup of the Design
When it comes to building the makeup of the design, user experience designers utilize
wireframes and prototypes in order to build the interactive design. UI designers focus on
those specific elements that contribute to creating a beautiful interface, such an element
can include the use of color.
The Basic Design
This is the aspect of design of a website in which the UX and UI designers really need
to work well together. To start, the UX team creates the information architecture of the
site or mobile app. Then it is up to the UI team to create a graphic design that follows
the information architecture in a way that is aesthetically pleasing to the user.
The Heavy Work
Both UX and UI have elements of its process that require substantial effort. For UX it
would be focusing on its user experience research ​aspect​. This is a process that needs
continuous refinement as issues arise. In this process, the UX designers review various
scenarios that arise for the user. Whereas the UI designers focus on creating the
layouts for the website or mobile app. In the creation of the layouts, they also focus on
specific areas such as typography.
Conclusion
When it comes to understanding the difference between UX and UI it is easy to relate it
to the difference between the sides of brain. The left, which is more analytical and data
driven is the UX designer. The right, which is more creative is the UI designer.
