We can find the terms ‘user experiences’ and ‘UX’ all over the Internet. Just a decade ago this subject wasn’t widely known within our industry and now it seems to be the starting point for anyone interested in design or development. With all this talk, you’d think we’d be able to easily answer the question, “What is a user experience?” Turns out, it’s a pretty complicated question.
You may have seen attempts that try to explain UX, each more complicated than the last. For instance, this picture has been floating around the Internet for years and people generally agree (incorrectly) that it demonstrates a user experience pretty well.

What we now consider key-concepts, such as User Experience (UX) and User Interface (UI), were yet a mirage and all websites looked like a multiplayer version of Notepad.
Fortunately, technology evolved and so did web-design. Visually speaking, everyone wants to lead the race, providing top-notch websites with astonishing interfaces. However, concerning user experience, there's still a lot of room for improvement.
We’ve seen before how good UX can – and will – be determinant in some markets, but here I’ll look at it from the other side. What exactly does bad UX look like and how are we affected by it?

Well, I think it’s important to start by saying there’s no commonly accepted definition.
User experience design is a concept that has many dimensions, and it includes a bunch of different disciplines—such as interaction design, information architecture, visual design, usability, and human-computer interaction.
But let’s try to get a clearer picture of what that really means.

User Experience Design (UXD or UX) in web design is the process of enhancing user satisfaction by improving the usability, accessibility, and efficiency of user interaction with websites.

When your reviewing your company’s user experience and the role it plays in your organization, it’s easy to note what needs to change. Poor design, outdated content, poor engagement. But what are things you should look for or look into improving?
In our experience helping companies improve their UX design, we have noticed common threads in what a great user experience should look like.

In many aspects of technology delivery, something-"as-a-Service" is considered the ultimate end game. In user experience, however, it may only represent a step on the journey.
That's one of the many takeaways of a recent talk by Jared Spool, a writer, researcher, speaker, educator, and an expert on usability, software, design, and research. Notably, Spool points out, UX is a gradual journey, one that could unfold over many years.

UX design – the process of creating a website that is intuitive to the user – is ongoing and must adjust to the needs of your market and users. While you may feel like dropping the mic after getting your site up and running, it’s not over and done. As users and the digital landscape change, so must your website.
In fact, optimal UX could be the factor that determines the success of your company. If your website is struggling to retain visitors, it may be that it needs a UX update. Try these strategies to identify whether your website has a UX design problem and how you can fix it if so.

Voice is the new, primary interaction for most modern devices. Smart speakers like Amazon Echo and Google Home allow you to interact entirely with voice commands. Even most smartphones include a virtual assistant option, affording you hands-free and voice-enabled controls.
The shift to voice-controlled devices presents a new series of UX and design philosophies that require a general understanding of natural language and communication. It is comparable to how mobile touchscreens and touch interfaces transformed UX design. The difference, of course, is that voice interactions are much more hands-off.
