Hello
Before software can be developed, it must first be planned and designed. Regardless of whether it's an app, a company homepage, or an intranet, if users can't find their way around quickly and easily, they're highly unlikely to use the service they're using or recommend it to others. In addition to a balanced design, good user-friendliness, also known as usability, is therefore crucial for the success of the application. User experience designers, or UX designers for short, are responsible for this important requirement. The emergence of entire UX teams or UX departments makes it clear that companies have now recognized the importance of this position. The steadily increasing number of different end devices such as wearables or smart speakers and digital offerings make UX design an exciting and promising career field.
In addition to the job title UX designer, the assignment UX engineer, conceptual designer or information architect is also frequently used. Before the actual design, the UX designer first analyzes the requirements of the product from the perspective of later users. Methods such as user stories, user journeys or user flows are often used for this purpose. For the initial visualization of the developed concept, knowledge of common prototyping tools such as Axure, Balasmiq or Sketch is required. The UX designer uses these tools to create wireframes and mockups, which are then developed into a screen design. To ensure the positive user experience as comprehensively as possible, UX designers should finally evaluate the designed products with the help of usability tests. UX designers are also often expected to have knowledge of front-end technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. UX designers should also have a basic technical understanding with regard to the subsequent programming of the product.
