The Difference Between UX and UI Design - A Layman’s Guide
BY EMIL LAMPRECHT, UPDATED ON FEBRUARY 6TH, 2019
Length: 15 Minutes
We’ve all overheard conversations, walking down hip streets of the world’s tech capitals, discussions about the great
‘UX’ of a product, or the poor ‘UI’ of a website. Is it a secret language you will never be privy to? Are these people just
using slang to look cool?
Well, ok probably yes to the latter, but a determinate NO to the rest. Read on to learn what these terms mean, which
jobs are better paid, and how to become a UX designer (https://careerfoundry.com/en/courses/become-a-ux-
designer/) or UI designer (https://careerfoundry.com/en/courses/become-a-ui-designer/).
Scroll to the middle of the post to watch a video of me speaking about this article, and giving you some extra info on
what being a UX or UI Designer really means – and which of the two fields would suit you best.

The Acronyms Unveiled
The people you have eavesdropped on are actually discussing two professions that despite having been around for
decades, and in theory for centuries, have been defined by the tech industry as UX and UI Design.
UX Design (https://careerfoundry.com/en/blog/ux-design/what-is-user-experience-ux-design-everything-you-need-
to-know-to-get-started/) refers to the term User Experience Design, while UI Design stands for User Interface Design.
Both elements are crucial to a product and work closely together. But despite their professional relationship, the roles
themselves are quite different, referring to very different parts of the process and the design discipline. Where UX
Design is a more analytical and technical field, UI Design is closer to what we refer to as graphic design, though the
responsibilities are somewhat more complex.
There is an analogy I like to use in describing the different parts of a (digital) product:
If you imagine a product as the human body, the bones represent the code which give it structure. The organs
represent the UX design: measuring and optimizing against input for supporting life functions. And UI design
represents the cosmetics of the body–its presentation, its senses and reactions.
But don’t worry if you’re still confused! You’re not the only one!
As Rahul Varshney, co-creator of Foster.fm (http://foster.fm/) puts it:
User Experience (UX) and User Interface (UI) are some of the most confused and misused terms in our field. A
UI without UX is like a painter slapping paint onto canvas without thought; while UX without UI is like the frame
of a sculpture with no paper mache on it. A great product experience starts with UX followed by UI. Both are
essential for the product’s success.
Find out if UX is for you with our free 7-day UX Design short course
(https://careerfoundry.com/en/short-courses/become-a-ux-designer/)
Below I break down the history, debate and definition around each term in detail. But if you don’t care for them – jump
to the end of each section for a simplified description. And make sure you don’t miss the professional stats below it.

What is User Experience Design?
User experience design is a human-first way of designing products.
As is found on Wikipedia (http://snip.ly/98d16):
User experience design (UXD or UED) is the process of enhancing customer satisfaction and loyalty by improving
the usability, ease of use, and pleasure provided in the interaction between the customer and the product.
Clear, right? Well you might note immediately that despite what I implied in the introduction, the definition has no
reference to tech, no mention of digital, and is vague at best. But like all professions, it’s impossible to distill the
process from just a few words.
Some confusion in the definition of the term itself is due to its youth. Don Norman, a cognitive scientist and co-founder
of the Nielsen Norman Group Design Consultancy (http://snip.ly/1prrb), is credited with inventing the term in the late
1990’s declaring that “User experience encompasses all aspects of the end-user’s interaction with the company, its
services, and its products.”
This implies that regardless of its medium, UX Design encompasses any and all interactions between a potential or
active customer and a company. As a scientific process it could be applied to anything; street lamps, cars, Ikea
shelving and so on. However, despite being a scientific term, its use since inception has been almost entirely within
digital fields; one arguable reason for this being that the industry started blowing up around the time of the term’s
invention. Another arguable reason being that it was just a fancy way of rewording a practice that has already existed
for hundreds of years known as “Market Research”; and boy do designers love fancy.
But don’t let me confuse you, User Experience Design is not a market research job.
Though it does utilize many of the same techniques to achieve a complex end goal: The structure, analysis and
optimization of a customer’s experience with a company and its products.
If you’ve never seen User Experience work in practice, never even used the term at work, it’s still difficult to imagine
what User Experience Designers actually do (https://careerfoundry.com/en/blog/ux-design/what-does-a-ux-designer-
actually-do/). At CareerFoundry we’ve developed a UX course that focuses on the process which I will use to illustrate
the profession.
Here is a cliffnotes example of a UX Designer’s responsibilities as laid out by our course. It is targeted at the
development of digital products, but the theory and process can be applied to anything:
Strategy and Content:
Competitor Analysis

Product Structure/Strategy
Content Development
Wireframing and Prototyping:
Wireframing
Prototyping
Testing/Iteration
Development Planning
Execution and Analytics
Coordination with UI Designer(s)
Coordination with Developer(s)
Tracking Goals and Integration
Analysis and Iteration
So part-marketer, part-designer, part-project manager; the UX role is complex, challenging and multi-faceted. You see
that iteration of the product, as connected to analysis or testing is indeed mentioned twice, but in reality you would put
it in between every other item on the list. Ultimately, the aim is to connect business goals to user’s needs through a
process of testing and refinement toward that which satisfies both sides of the relationship.
So in conclusion:
User Experience Design is the process of development and improvement of quality interaction between a user
and all facets of a company.
User Experience Design is responsible for being hands on with the process of research, testing, development,
content, and prototyping to test for quality results.
User Experience Design is in theory a non-digital (cognitive science) practice, but used and defined
predominantly by digital industries.
The lesson to be learned here, is that if you’re interested in sociology, in cognitive science, in people and in great
products, User Experience is a good place to be; but if you understand those principles and are more visually inclined,
you might look at its brother-in-arms: User Interface Design.

What is UI Design?
Despite it being an older and more practiced field, the question of “What is user interface design?” is difficult to
answer because of its broad variety of misinterpretations. While User Experience is a conglomeration of tasks focused
on the optimization of a product for effective and enjoyable use, User Interface Design is its complement; the look and
feel, the presentation and interactivity of a product. But like UX, it is easily and often confused by the industries that
employ UI designers – to the extent that different job posts will often refer to the profession as completely different
things.
If you look at job posts for User Interface Design (https://careerfoundry.com/en/blog/ui-design/ui-designer-job-
descriptions-guide/), you will mostly find interpretations of the profession that are akin to graphic design. Sometimes
extending also to branding design, and even front end development.
If you look at expert definitions of User Interface Design, you will mostly find descriptions that are in part identical to
User Experience Design – even referring to the same structural techniques.
So which one is right? The sad answer is: Neither.
But both are close in some ways. Like User Experience Design, User Interface Design is a multi-faceted and
challenging role. It is responsible for the transference of a product’s development, research, content and layout into
an attractive, guiding and responsive experience for users. It is also a field that, unlike UX, is a strictly digital
profession, as per its dictionary definition:
user interface
noun
Computing
The means by which the user and a computer system interact, in particular the use of input devices and software.
We explain in much greater detail what the definition and role of UI Design is and teach you the skills required to
become a UI designer in the CareerFoundry UI Design Course (https://careerfoundry.com/en/courses/become-a-ui-
designer/). This includes its relationship to brand, graphic/visual, and front-end design.
Regardless of whether you choose UX design or UI design, it’s important to understand how the other one works and,
crucially, how to work with them.
Let’s have a quick look at the UI designer’s responsibilities (https://careerfoundry.com/en/blog/ui-design/what-does-
a-ui-designer-actually-do/):

Design Research
Branding and Graphic Development
User Guides/Storyline
Responsiveness and Interactivity:
UI Prototyping
Interactivity and Animation
Adaptation to All Device Screen Sizes
Implementation with Developer
As a visual and interactive designer, the UI role is crucial to any digital interface and for customers a key element to
trusting a brand. While the brand itself is never solely the responsibility of the UI designer, its translation to the
product is.
You’ll also note the final point which states a responsibility for “implementation” of the design with a developer. While
this is generally how UI jobs have worked in the past, you should be aware that the lines are blurring, as the term “Web
Designer” (essentially a UI designer who can code) is being replaced by expertise of User Interface Designers. While
UX has no need for coding, UI is a role that, as time progresses, will rely on it as part of building interactive interfaces.
So in conclusion:
User Interface Design is responsible for the transference of a brand’s strengths and visual assets to a product’s
interface as to best enhance the user’s experience.
User Interface Design is a process of visually guiding the user through a product’s interface via interactive
elements and across all sizes/platforms.
User Interface Design is a digital field, which includes responsibility for cooperation and work with developers or
code.
Or in analogical terms, UI design produces a product’
skin
– a product’s visual/graphic presentation. It’s responsible
for the product’s
senses
– its reactivity and interactivity in response to a user’s input. And its
gestures
– a product’s
guides, hints, and directives that visually leads users through their experience.
Is UI Design More Important Than UX Design?
If you’ve read the above paragraphs you already know the answer. But in case you’re unsure, allow me to quote
designer and expert Helga Moreno, who put it rather eloquently in her article The Gap Between UX And UI Design
(http://snip.ly/mjj7s):
“Something that looks great but is difficult to use is exemplary of great UI and poor UX. While Something very
usable that looks terrible is exemplary of great UX and poor UI.”
So you see, they are both crucial, and while there are millions of examples of great products with one and not the
other, imagine how much more successful they might have been when strong in both fields.
And let’s face it, both roles are still confused, misinterpreted, and falsely sought after. So if you’re looking to get into
these fields, it’s not a matter of which is more important, but, based on the descriptions above, which is more

attractive to you.
Which Profession Is Better Paid?
Salaries are of course dictated by many factors, though primarily:
Location
Experience
Industry
Project/product type
On average you’ll find that UI and UX jobs (https://careerfoundry.com/en/blog/ux-design/ux-designer-job-
descriptions-guide/) have similar salary ranges across startups and minor tech industries. You’ll find however that in
tech industries outside the web and mobile fields (e.g. car companies, medical equipment manufacturers, etc) there
are more and richer opportunities for UI designers, as the field is not only more established but has a more direct,
business-driven application.
Pulling upon averages however, it is possible to find both User Experience and User Interface jobs across the following
range of value in central Europe.
Annual:
Junior Level Salary €28k - €33k
Mid Level Salary €38k - €45k
Senior Level Salary €50k - €80k
Hourly:
Junior Freelancer €30 - €50
Mid Level Freelancer €50 - €75
Senior Level Consultant €75 - €100
*Numbers are based on salary data from Germany and central Europe.
To explore salaries in your area, check out these breakdowns of your earning potential as a UX designer
(https://careerfoundry.com/en/blog/ux-design/how-much-will-i-earn-as-a-ux-designer/)and as a UI designer
(https://careerfoundry.com/en/blog/ui-design/how-much-will-i-earn-as-a-ui-designer/), and I recommend also taking
a look at self-reported salaries on Glassdoor (http://www.glassdoor.com/salaries).

How Do I Learn These Skills?
While there are collegiate institutions who have Interactive Design and Visual Design programs, there are very few
official ways to learn either UI or UX Design skills as applied to working within tech startups, or even larger corporates.
If you live in a major metropolitan area, you may be lucky to have access to a variety of bootcamp or class-style
programs, such as General Assembly, or localized programs hosted by Google and other tech giants.
Online and with flexibility, you’ll find an infinite range of free content and courses for both skills. I highly recommend
checking the outline and content of every course to see if what is being taught matches the definitions laid out in this
article; but if structured correctly the options found on platforms like udacity (https://www.udacity.com/), udemy
(https://www.udemy.com/), tuts+ (http://tutsplus.com/) can serve as a good introduction to the field.
For more specialized and personal education, the options are somewhat limited. In fact, at the time of writing,
CareerFoundry’s mentored UX Design Course (https://careerfoundry.com/en/courses/become-a-ux-designer/) is the
only truly UX dedicated mentor program, bloc.io’s being a mixed UI course.
If your interest is in learning UI design online, we obviously recommend our own mentored UI Design course
(https://careerfoundry.com/en/courses/become-a-ui-designer/), curated by long-time UI designer Eric Bieller.
Why Did I Write This Article?
I would like to quickly articulate the motivations behind this post. Firstly, there is seemingly a clear need for more
articles of this type as I find few experts bothering to publicly define the differences of UX and UI design. As I’ve
mentioned time and time again, the fields are confused, and unnecessarily so. My hope is that, whether beginner or
expert, you can take something away from this article and share it with others who are as confused as the hiring
managers writing the job posts.
Secondly, if you are interested in learning either or both of these disciplines, I hope to have made their definitions clear
enough for you to better decide which to start with, or which may be inherently more attractive to you as a future

Thanks for posting this article...really interesting stuff. However, I would have to disagree with your points about UI
Designers needing to be able to code as time goes on.
This whole paragraph for me is open to discussion...
"You’ll also note the final point which states a responsibility for “implementation” of the design with a developer. While this
is generally how UI jobs have worked in the past, you should be aware that the lines are blurring, as the term “Web
Designer” (essentially a UI designer who can code) is being replaced by expertise of User Interface Designers. While UX
has no need for coding, UI is a role that as time progresses, will rely on it as part of building interactive interfaces."
I'm a visual person and although I'm trying to understand the basics of how coding works, for me my role is to create a
visually impressive experience for the end user and then work with a developer who can take my vision and bring it to life.
I'd rather spend my time using my skills as a designer and create something that answers above and beyond the clients
brief. Then work with a developer to make it happen. So suggesting that a Web Designer is essentially a UI designer who
can code is wrong. I've designed a number of sites and not coded one of them but either collaborated with a developer or
used a web based platform that gives enough flexibility to resolve the clients requirements.
Additionally, the above included paragraph suggests that if someone is interested in UI design, then they must also take
on the role of a coder and that's wrong. The technology particularly in web design is changing constantly and the

it may not be necessary but I feel an understanding of code is essential to be a truly efficient UI designer. How can
one design something when they don't understand how it is built. Surely an architect has to understand what is
possible when they design a building or a bridge. They would not stand up if they didn't.

I would have to agree with Charlotte ... although I think one would need to better define what we mean by
"Code" or "Coding".
I feel that term can easily be confused - Laying down HTML / CSS markup and adding the behavioural and
interactivity using basic jQuery/Javascript ... is not the same as "coding" functionality and logic using
programming skills

This is area I believe is what needs to be better defined in terms of understanding and getting to a better
"separation of concerns" in terms of web design and development, as I see many young Web
designer/development professionals entering job market today trying to position themselves in the "best
marketable" position to be hired , and end up trying to learn an array of skills without really understanding
and specialising in one particular discipline which in the end of the day the Web development industry has
in my opinion has been guilty of blurring those different disciplines for other misaligned(albeit possible valid)
reasons.

Hi Andy,
This is a common point of view, and one that is slowly but surely changing. Many people see UX and UI design as making
things "look" nice. In practice a UX designer could have a job which doesn't involve any visual design at all. And UI design
is much more about information structure, technology dependencies, and consistent patterns, than about pretty colours
and styles.
Think about the last time you used someone else's microwave. It might have been shiny and new with beautiful, sleek
surfaces, but could you quickly figure out how to heat up your soup? Which button do you press first? What does this
knob do? What are the cryptic numbers on the display telling you? People use microwaves every day all over the world,
but we still see so many confusing designs. It might seem simple to redesign a microwave the way that it would make
sense for you. But would the next person also find it intuitive? It doesn't matter how sleek that microwave looks if it's
annoying to use. This is what UX and UI design are really about.
The important things you'll learn as a UX or UI designer are not about how to make things look nice, but rather how to
research human behaviours and needs, understanding how to structure information so that it makes sense, prototyping
and validating if real people find value in your product before you build it.
Companies are starting to realise the value of these skills for their business, no matter the name of the job title.

I've been making games for quite some time now, but I'm currently looking for work and I'm not sure if I've actually done
this and/or am qualified as a UI/UX designer. I just want some clarification - have I been actually doing UI/UX since I've
worked on both coding and art for my games?
Thanks. I could show an example of one of my menu heavy games but I don't wanna spam your comments section.

I'm agree with you when you say that "Something that is difficult to use is not exemplary of great UI." What is said by
Helga Moreno is in contradiction with the Emil's words.

I definitely agree - if its difficult to use, I can't see how the UI could be considered exemplary.

After having read this article, and having actually studied under people who have been involved in these fields for a very
long time (40+ years), all of this, both UX, and UI, fall under the heading of Web Designer, as far as the technical (web)
aspect is concerned. The old style web designers did all of this, and they did it well, when people started to use shortcuts,
like Wordpress for example, they began to try and separate these disciplines, because they no longer took the time to
actually acquire the correct skill bases.
Some of this came from large corporations, and some smaller organizations, who had people on staff, and wanted to do
things in house, thus they put together teams, someone who knew how to code, and build the site, someone who could
design it to look pleasing, and someone who studied their target audience to figure out how to present their product to that
audience. All of these could be done with basic people, who could also function in various other departments, but all of
this was the original purview of a person called a "web designer".
In closing it is rather sad that so many of you really think that these are different "professions", if you cannot do both jobs,
then you really aren't that good, a user interface is useless if it does not draw the user in, and a beautiful, enthralling page
is worthless if the user cannot find their way. "UX", and "UI" are intrinsically linked, you can be a graphic designer, and you
can be a programmer, but a web Designer must be both.

"We’ve all overheard conversations, walking down hip streets of the world’s tech capitals, discussions about the great ‘UX’
of a product, or the poor ‘UI’ of a website."
I wish the world was that nerdy!!! Great article even years later :)

Great post.
I find that "UX Designers" are more like "Product Managers" than designers. Most "UX designers" that I come across are
not very good at "UI Design" related tasks and vise versa. "UI designers" should also have a very solid understanding of
front-end development. I feel the "UX Designer" developed from "UI Designers" not having a relevant seat at the table
when it came to product strategy and decisions, so they started appropriating "Product tasks" into their everyday role.
That's great if you're one of those people that can do all of that and do it well, but I find the art of "UI Design" suffers as a
result. The "UX Design" role is attracting a lot of unskilled "UI designers" and let's face it, most companies EXPECT "UX
designers" to be great "UI designers". I feel like I was shoved into a UX Design role because of my UI design skills, but I
could care less about doing a lot of the (IM0) "product related tasks" that "UX designers" are expected to do these days. I
hope companies really try to figure this out. It's important to put the right people in the right positions.
I personally think the "UX Designer" and "Product Manager" role should merge and the "UI Design" role should stay a "UI
Design" role.

Thanks for this well written article.But i think that the UI design will basically crack the mind of a user as to how a product
is design to function in whatever way it does in terms of energy,input and output.For example;How organs produced
different sounds and tones/cell phones,watches,e.t.c. So you really don't need to code in other to design but need to code
in other to develope or build.Talking about UX, it is basically about the appearance and look of a product in other to attract
user and customers to that product,so it take a bit of hard work in understanding and studying the like and wants of
humans.

For me it is terribly confusing explanation. A lot of garbage. Of course, you can disagree with me, but it is my personal
opinion.

I just want to say that this is one of, if not the most, wonderful explanations of anything that has to do with tech and
proggramming I've ever stumbled upon. It was comprehensive, extremely informative, and easy to understand and read
through. I just felt so compelled to tell you becuase it was THAT great of a post. Thank you for helping me understand
these terms as well as the extra information I read. It was great. Thanks!

Hello Emil
Designing a UI to maximize practically can be a difficult task and one that can always be done better.The above details
are very beneficial for getting some inspiration in banner ui/ux.
Thanks

I understand you meant "the skin represents UI design, the cosmetics of the body, its presentation, its senses and
reactions" instead of "the skin represents UX design, the cosmetics of the body, its presentation, its senses and
reactions".
Other than that I've really appreciated the content. Thank you!
