UI/UX design refers to the process of designing the user interface and user experience of a product, such as a website or mobile app.

UI (User Interface) Design focuses on the visual layout and appearance of a product. This includes the arrangement of pages, buttons, and other interactive elements. The goal is to create a visually appealing and intuitive interface that is easy for users to navigate and use.

UX (User Experience) Design focuses on the overall feel of the product. It considers the entire user journey, from the initial interaction to the end goal, ensuring the product is easy and enjoyable to use.

Together, UI/UX design creates products that are not only visually appealing but also functional and intuitive. This is a crucial aspect of product development and can significantly impact a product’s success.
