User Experience

User experience design is the process of designing how a user interacts with a website, application, or piece of software. It involves goal setting, user analysis, information architecture design, prototyping, usability testing, and graphic interface design — all focused on the goal of making the user’s interaction as simple, enjoyable, and efficient as possible. The usability and appeal of a system is critical to its success.

When we approach user experience design we not only consider how someone will interact with a system, but how we want them to interact with it. This is why websites and applications are such powerful communication tools — user experience design allows us as designers to incorporate business goals into the system and guide users towards pre-determined actions.

Furthermore, by positively impacting the overall experience a person has with a system, we can influence how they feel about that system’s provider. That’s right — user experience design is still very much a factor in branding a company. If a user has a poor experience interacting with a company’s website or product, they will naturally transfer that feeling to the company itself.
