In my previous blog post 6 Design Alternatives to Avoid (Evil) Slideshows, I outlined six design alternatives to avoid slideshows. The response to that blog post was great — who knew there were so many kindred spirits who disliked slideshows?
From the feedback I received, the number one question was why are slideshows so bad in the first place?

Websites and apps need intuitive, user-friendly interfaces in addition to stunning graphics to capture an audience online. That's why UI and UX designers are so in-demand, and why you may consider familiarizing yourself with these skills via the UI & UX Design Bootcamp, which you can pick up today for just $39, down from its nearly $1,000 retail value.

Let me ask you something: Would you buy a home without a building inspection? Would you build a home without consulting an architect?
Recently, my husband and I purchased a house. Although it’s only 20 years old, we wanted to be sure we were making a sound purchase, so we hired a building inspector. The building inspector found some issues but not enough to scare us off the house. So we bought it and got to work planning the necessary repairs and renovations. We’re really looking forward to experiencing the finished product later this year because we know it’ll be safe, sound and delightful after all of our hard work preparing it.

The calculator isn’t the most beautiful thing in the world but when you press your fingers into its buttons, it can do some wondrous things. Or take Crocs — the butt of many jokes — but the first choice of shoes for people working in the medical profession. That’s the thing when it comes to the user experience vs. usability debate: products don’t have to be beautiful to offer a great user experience.

As UI designers, we are confronted with design problems every day. Knowing how best to tackle these issues means investigating, analysing, testing and prototyping solutions until we get the answer that fits our user’s needs.
UI design is less about making something look attractive (although it helps) and more knowing how to create a valid path from idea to execution, backed with statistics and evidence, for the benefit of our users. Otherwise, you are shooting in the dark and crossing your fingers you hit the bullseye. Thankfully, instead of relying on blind faith, there exist usability heuristics to steadily guide UI designers and keep us on the right track.

In any industry, trends somehow reflect people’s everyday needs and behavior. This never-ending process of modification follows us wherever we go — and mobile app development is not an exception. Strictly speaking, new technologies have become the leader of human progress, that’s why their changes are quite significant to any of us.

If I had to explain it in 30 seconds or less, here would be my elevator pitch.
At the most basic level, the user interface (UI) is the series of screens, pages, and visual elements—like buttons and icons—that you use to interact with a device.
User experience (UX), on the other hand, is the internal experience that a person has as they interact with every aspect of a company’s products and services.
