Website design research --- UI & UX

The first step, I research the meaning of  UI(user interface) and UX(user experience), it is the basic knowledge of the website design. The user means the viewer interacting with the content, and the interface is the way that the user accesses that content. Marshall McLuhan pointed out famously that the medium is the message. But with interface design, it is believed more like the medium affects the message.

Furthermore, I want to find the relationship between UI and UX. UI is usually the term of talking about how it looks. It's about visual design and how we access digital content. UX is about the feeling of digital content with the user.

UI & UX
UI designer pays more attention to form, aesthetics and look&feel or organization of the information. UX designer more focuses on how the interface feels and on the navigation and the story and the structure of the whole website.




Mostly the UI designer is looking at the visual identity, that often has more graphic design or visual skills and the UI designer is focus on how to get the user engaged with the content of the website, and this is often improved by the user's feedback and experience.



Final, the website's visual look will be the first thing of user sight before they check the content of the site, but the designer will be given a large number of material like text, images and etc... to create a form. and they should be organized and presented in a way that makes sense for the user.
