User Interface (UI)
User experience (UX)
It is the experience that the user perceives while he interact with the website. It encompasses all the aspects related to the interaction between the user and a the web or with a product/service that form the user’s perceptions. If the elements that make up the design of the experience (text, sounds, the brand, among others) are useful and desirable for the user, he will have a good experience and therefore he will feel satisfied.

The importance of UX
To analyze that the operation of the website is the correct, the user must
- Know how to use the web and have accessibility: Everyone should have access to the product/service you offer, since if they do not know how to reach the destination, they will not be able to use what you are offering them.
- Satisfy the needs: They must find the information that are looking for. Therefore, web design should help solve the need, it should not cost to find what they need; Items such as the intuitive navigation menu or the search bar layout are factors that influence this process.
- Have credibility and validity: The website must convey confidence to users to generate the purchase repeat action on them, or by the simple fact that they provide, with total security, personal information such as the credit card number.
How to create a good user experience?
- Create for the user: Design and build the web thinking about the users, with the objective to be useful to them and can meet their needs.
- Know your users: Discover the profile of your users, what their objectives are and classify them according to their behavior on the web. For example, leads that have long been on the page or leads that have clicked on several pages of the web.
- Archetype the web: Design the skeleton and establish how all the web pages will be connected between them. Keep in mind the design of the different versions in which users can view the web, whether from mobile, computer or tablet.
- Optimize and Implement: The optimization starts from the first moment that the web is launched to solve problems and identify which approach is the correct. When you launch a web page, the new functionalities are introduced progressively and then its operation is analyzed. It is important to try different design models through the A/B test or multivariate tests to know exactly where the problems may come from and see with what design they solve it.
