What that looks like will depend on the industry and product that we\u2019re talking about.<\/p>\n<p>The term was invented by Don Norman, an engineer at <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">App<\/a>le and co-founder of the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nngroup.com\/\">Nielsen Norman Group<\/a>, in the 1990s. Norman <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nngroup.com\/articles\/definition-user-experience\/\">describes<\/a> UX this way:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201c\u2018User experience\u2019 encompasses all aspects of the end-user\u2019s interaction with the company, its services, and its products.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Norman still writes on UX and UX design today, and you can see those articles <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nngroup.com\/articles\/author\/don-norman\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>UX has also been called a \u201chuman-first approach\u201d to product design, whether that product is physical or digital. Knowing this, it\u2019s easy to see how it can be confused with UI and UI design\u2014the interface that someone uses affects their experience, after all.<\/p>\n<p>The definition of UX isn\u2019t constrained to just tech products, although that\u2019s where we see it used the most. It can be applied to any product that people use and interact with, from smart thermostats to traffic lights to a coffee maker. Basically, anything that can be experienced by someone.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Focus_on_the_User_Journey\"><\/span>A Focus on the User Journey<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When a UX designer approaches a product, they think about the entire process that someone will go through when experiencing it. They ask:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">What emotions will they be feeling?<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Will they get hung up on or confused about anything?<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">What problems are people trying to solve by using this product?<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Can the process of solving those problems be improved through design?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The path that someone goes down when using a product, from when they first interact with it to when they\u2019re finished using it, became known as the user journey. And that journey has become the cornerstone of UX design.<\/p>\n<p>John Amir-Abbassi, former UX researcher at <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a> and current UX research manager at Google, describes UX like this in an <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usertesting.com\/blog\/what-is-ux-design-15-user-experience-experts-weigh-in\">interview with User Testing<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cUser Experience Design is an approach to design that takes into account all the aspects of a product or service with the user. That includes not only the beauty and function: (usability and accessibility) of a product or a flow, but also things like delight, and emotion\u2014things that are harder to engineer and achieve.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>UX also takes into account accessibility for people of all types and ideally, attempts to make a product as usable and enjoyable as possible for as many people as possible. People in UX design can come from a wide spectrum of fields, from programming to psychology, because of this core need to understand the user.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"UX_Design_Considerations\"><\/span>UX Design Considerations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When designing the UX of a product, several aspects need to be thought over. Together, they make up the \u201cwhy, what, and how\u201d of a product\u2019s use.<\/p>\n<p>While UI and UX often go hand-in-hand with one another, they aren\u2019t exactly the same thing. One deals much more with the intangible aspects of a product\u2019s use, while the other focuses more heavily on the mechanics.<\/p>\n<p>UX research usually starts with research into the target user, sometimes with the creation of \u201cpersonas,\u201d or fictional personalities that match the target demographic. From there, the designer maps out the journey that the person in question would logically take when interacting with the product.<\/p>\n<p>Putting together good UX systems also involves a lot of research into the way that people already use things day to day. If someone wants to find a restaurant near them, how do they do it? What are they feeling when they decide to do that?<\/p>\n<p>UX is just one part of effective web design.
