The Pro Element Guide on UI/UX Design
UI/UX Design is often mistaken for one. Did you also think this way? Then we are breaking it down here. Though UI/UX is a totally different concept, they both simultaneously deliver the best websites for a brand. Exactly the pro element that keeps a website interactive and live.
Understanding UI/UX Design
UI and UX, in terms of design, are simple to understand. In actuality, a UI design is a subset of UX. User experience is referred to as UX design. The user's experience is decided by how your website is created to make them feel. In other words, how effectively a user can engage with it.
On the other hand, UI design refers to the graphical design of an application or website. It includes all of the elements that users interact with, including the buttons they click on, the graphics they utilise, the material they read, sliders within, text entry areas, and more.
And is the job easy?
To create an interactive interface that delivers a good user experience for your targeted customers. Well, not a simple task, but definitely a possible task that the pros can achieve.
At Pro Element Creatives, we are a team of seasoned UI/UX Design-based website developers who carry a clear idea of the concepts and experience on how to deliver a perfectly designed user-friendly website that works seamlessly on all screens. Now, let’s see who on our team does the job?
Is UI/UX Design restricted to websites and Apps?
The answer is a big NO!
It isn’t just a virtual experience. Anytime you interact with a brand’s product or service, there’s a user experience (UX). The experience that a user feels while using the mobile app, browsing a website, or interacting with a physical product is crucial for a brand to bring its customers close and develop an emotional connection with the brand. And UI/UX Design is what makes this easy for interaction online, so no further explanation is needed on why this is important.
Who Does User Experience Design or UX Design?
A UX designer works to make a brand's goods and services user-friendly, efficient, and fulfilling. The success or failure of a product or service can be determined by the UX design of your brand's websites. The word "user experience" (UX) encompasses all facets of the aforementioned user interaction.
The Designer and User Perspective
How well do the designer and user perspectives align for UX Design? Let’s see. For this, we have some questions for the users.
1. As a user, what runs through your mind when you think about the last time you used a new product?
2. Browsing through the App or website, were you able to complete your intended task?
3. May it be purchasing a product or service, or adding something to your cart. How easy was the process?
Now you have an answer.
Whether you had an easy time saving a fast experience or the clear opposite. And that easiness and toughness are determined by how well the UX designer has imparted the design concept that seeks to make products and services easy, effective, and delightful for their users.
An experienced UX designer always thinks as a user and goes through each step of how a user would interact with a product or service to make it simple, effective, and satisfying. At the same time, a challenging and rewarding role. But each time our team does it with passion and a new opportunity to learn.

This can help a designer make a product or service successful by identifying areas for improvement.
Who Does User Interface Design or UI Design?
The one who designs better interfaces is a UI Designer. The one who exactly decides on what the application is going to look like. They are graphic designers who design the aesthetics of a website or application.
It starts right from choosing the colour schemes and button shapes to the width of lines and the fonts used for text. This way, the complete look and feel of an application’s user interface is created. And it doesn’t end in creating aesthetics, it should match perfectly with the brand theme, purpose of the website, while keeping it visually appealing.
Components in UI Design
UI elements are the foundation blocks of any apps and websites. Simply, what users interact with when they are inside the platform. UI elements are what allow for a good user experience and well-designed functionalities.
The interactive components that make a user's activities easier, such as buttons, menus, breadcrumbs, progress bars, and accordions, are made and optimized by a UI designer in UI Design.
The design patterns are crucial, as if the design breaks a design pattern that the users are familiar with, then the users may get lost or confused, leading to abandoning the platform and losing interest in the brand’s product or service.
