UX/UI with Learning Tech Labs

UI is the functional, visual structure that helps you interact with your devices. An interface takes the form of pages, icons, and buttons, each representing a specific way users can engage with a site. Generally speaking, all fixed design elements, like headers and footers, fall under the category of UI. They're what holds the roof up and keeps the lights on.

The term ‘UX design’ is used to refer to the approaches and methods employed to make sure that a website is entirely tailored and customized for its target market. If an online platform does not appeal to a certain type of audience, it is likely to be quickly forgotten.

The importance of UX is huge for early-stage startups because they often lack a robust reputation to fall back on. In fact, their chance at future success is generally pinned on the quality of their online platforms, as they provide potential customers with an enduring first impression.
