After the development of a perfect website or application with all the functionalities, wonder what could be the next thing to be improved? When a user opens your website or application, the first concern comes to their mind if they can access all the features of your application, website, or digital product. In that case, UI Design plays a very crucial part in the best User experience. This article will explain what UI is and how you can improve your user interface for better use. Let us have a little bit of an introduction first.
UI Introduction
UI as you must know stands for “User Interface”. So basically, User interface (UI) design is the process to build interfaces for your digital product focusing on looks or style. Most designers aim to create interfaces that are easy to use and understandable. User interfaces are the face of your product or you can say the access points for user interactions.
There are 3 formats in which you can create a UI:
Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs)
User interactions are through visual representations on digital control panels. For example, a computer’s desktop is a GUI.
Voice-Controlled Interfaces (VUIs)
User interactions are through their voices. Most smart assistants— For example., Siri on iPhone and Alexa on Amazon devices—are VUIs.
Gesture-Based Interfaces
Users interact with 3D design spaces through bodily motions: For example, in Virtual Reality(VR)
Ideas to design an impactful UI
To create impressive GUIs, you need to make them as comfortable and easy to understand as possible.
