It’s a known concept that UI and UX are two different things but many of the times people tend to confuse the both and use them according to their own convenience.
To put it up, UI or User Interface is the medium through which the customer gets in touch with the digital commodity or service. Whereas, UX or User Experience is the whole
experience of the end product received by the customer. UX is basically how a customer might perceive a digital service.
UX design prototypes are the building blocks of a mansion (company) while the UI design prototype lay the work of painting, framing and making the gardens of the
mansion presentable.
If UI and UX don’t work hand in hand, the digital service or commodity, in this rapidly progressing 21st century, would lag behind.
If the medium of interaction isn’t visually attractive or aesthetic to the user/customer, the service wouldn’t be desirable to a certain extent. Similarly, if the user is not
satisfied with how the commodity functions, the aesthetics of it wouldn’t even be considered. Therefore it is very important that users get hold of something that pleases
both their eyes and their brains.
With this pace, the new generation wants something new, catchy or innovative every other day. Catering to the user’s needs can only be done when the UI and UX designs
are being updated from time to time. Without their mutual updates, the crowd might get bored of them. The main aim or the end goal is to satisfy the customer.
Over the years UX and UI designs have changed drastically. From the simplest templates to fancy prototypes. It is what the need of the hour is.
The efficiency back in 1970’s was very low, you had to use the command line interface if you wanted to use a programme. Commercially, graphical interfaces were not yet
available. To complete a simple task, users had to communicate with a computer using a programming language, which involved nearly infinite lines of code.
Computer scientists at Xerox PARC developed the first graphical user interface (GUI) in the 1980s. Users could now communicate with their computers by visually
submitting commands through icons, buttons, menus, and checkboxes, thanks to this revolutionary breakthrough.
Assuming that you already know, that UI is a subset of UX. UX is a bigger picture which consists of the UI. Their relationship might seem complicated in today’s world with all
the the new technology and the higher demands of people all around the globe, but at the end it’s the foundation of the digital transformation.
It is the end consumer which validates the success of this UI and UX relationship. The consumer doesn’t ask for an out of the world experience but rather something which
makes it easy for them digitally consume a particular service. With this fast life, all everyone want is something easy and pleasing to deal with. That is where the UI and UX
come in. These not only make the customer feel like they are the ones in control but also gives them a sense of contentment.
If these tasks are not accomplished by the existing UI and UX relationship, there is an immediate need to review the customer bases that the digital service is being
provided to. Different customers with wide ranging needs want to experience comfort that can only be offered when UI and UX work in coordination.
