Does UX encompass UI?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 10:15 pm

UX is the process of designing an interface that is intuitive, efficient, and effective. UI, on the other hand, is the design of the physical appearance of a product or system.

Often, the two are considered together as “UX/UI design.”.

While UX and UI are definitely related, they are not the same thing. UX is about designing the experience of using a product or system, while UI is about the look and feel of the product or system.

PRO TIP: No, UX does not encompass UI. UI is a subset of UX.

They may work together to create an effective and intuitive user experience, but they are not the same thing.

UX and UI are important aspects of product design, and they should be considered together when designing a product or system.
