When most people think of web design, they often picture the visual elements: colours, layouts, and fonts. A good website is not made only with UI and content. Using both User Experience (UX) and User Interface (UI) designs helps people have an improved online experience with your brand.
We believe that a website at Connect in Cloud should be not only good to see but also good to use. We’ll go over how UX and UI are linked to improve the ease, convenience and rapidity of using online services and apps.
What Distinguishes UX from UI?
Although UX and UI are often used interchangeably, they serve different purposes in web design.
User Experience (UX)
UX looks at how users feel when they browse your site. Includes thinking about structure, process, function and meeting what the user expects.
UX seeks to understand the following through questions:
Is it simple to get around on the site?
Do users easily get to the information they are searching for?
Is the story easy to follow and does it make sense?
User Interface (UI)
The part of a system that is used to interact with the user is called UI.
UI deals with how things look on-screen. It involved the visuals and navigation of the webpage, like button forms, types of colours, fonts and dynamic effects.
UI asks:
Does the site have a nice design?
Do the colours and icons fit the context?
Is there the same design on each page of the website?
When UX and UI are in sync, web design moves beyond aesthetics and becomes a seamless, powerful experience.
Why Both UX and UI Matter in Web Design
Even if your site looks stunning, if users struggle with it, they will never stick around. Still, a great user journey could fail if the user interface is fussy or not appealing.
The balance of UX and UI in web design impacts:
How much time the visitors spend on your site
How efficiently they find main pages on the website
If and when users carry out actions (shopping, joining programs, making reservations)
How your brand is seen by your customers
We should look at how these different aspects interact.
Creating a Good UX Foundation
1. Rethink about what online experiences the user will have.
Make a flowchart showing the normal journey a visitor might have. What goals do they have? People should be able to reach the next step on your site or app—whether for a consultation, service check or talking to your team—naturally and logically.
Advice for Creating UX Maps:
Do user research and carry out surveys
Watch user movements and find out on your page
Reorganize the process so that it takes less effort to reach the goal
2. A User Interface That Is Easy to Use
All the menus, links and calls-to-action should make it easier for users to find their way, not cause confusion. People should find it easy and natural to navigate a website.
A UX-led web design ensures people always know where they are—and where they’re going.
Using multiple layers in design for better visual appeal
3. Establishing a Strong and Uniform Brand Appearance
How your site is designed through UI helps people recognize it. Fonts, colours, icons and button designs should match the identity of your brand.
Following these Best Practices for Visual UI:
Ensure that the style is the same everywhere on your website
Ensure that interactive objects (such as buttons) stand out so users can identify them
Select 2–3 relevant colours so that your brand looks consistent
At Connect in Cloud, we build web design systems where the UI supports the UX—not distracts from it.
4. The website responds and adapts to the size of the screen used.
The UI and the UX experience should work well no matter what device is being used. So, mobile users have the same good and clean experience as those on their computers.
Responsive web design ensures:
No scrolling is required left to right
Clickable items are large enough to be touched easily
What you see on your screen will change depending on how big it is
The Role of UX and UI
Both security and privacy are important when used practically.
Scenario one is when a Contact Form is used.
UX means the form can be accessed quickly and completed with just a handful of clicks
The form looks neat because of clear labels and a clear button to press
In this case, we are looking at a Product Page.
The page is built so that the main things are presented up top, with additional info available with tabs
UI shows the images clearly and makes sure all the product information, including pricing, sizes and reviews, is shown in a uniform way
Working together, UX and UI change a regular site into something that people want to explore.
Companies Can’t Overlook UX and UI
In modern web design, users expect more. People tend to have short attention spans and digital businesses are very competitive.
Businesses that focus on UX and UI:
Fewer people leaving the site quickly
Enhance how satisfied customers are
Increase conversions
Get a positive online presence
Bad website design might make people hesitant to visit or trust you. By doing design well, businesses earn the loyalty of their customers.
