User interface is probably one of the 21st century’s most important languages. I mean, people are simply talking more through their devices and computers compared to any other time in history. We dissect the latest albums through the comment section of a music blog, we date through Tinder and we discuss work matters through Slack. We might use English to communicate but we interact with all of those mediums through the use of a user interface.
Graphical user interface (GUI) isn’t a new concept, it has always been a focus of software development ever since they released the first Macintosh, which we know now as a Mac. Today, user interface can be seen in the weirdest of devices from smart refrigerators to smart watches. Still, even with more than decades of experience under our belt, it’s still pretty common to see amateurish UI mistakes pop up every now and then in web design.

As Amazon continues to dominate the e-commerce space, smaller online retail businesses must do more to compete. Web design is one effective way e-commerce businesses can stand out to consumers while making a worthwhile investment in their marketing strategy. A recent consumer survey from Clutch shows that people value three main user experience (UX) features when they browse online:
- Effective navigation
- Updated website design
- Authoritative content
Updating a website to include or enhance these three features will benefit businesses beyond simply improving the user experience. Investing in navigation, design, and content also has important branding and SEO benefits.

Augmented reality (AR) has seen steady progress from what seemed like a science-fiction trope to absolute, unquestionable reality.
What is more, the last couple of years saw notable advances in the field, making the technology even more affordable and accessible. This, in turn, provoked wider adoption and popularity.
Virtual Reality (VR), on the other hand, is making the experience of checking out properties, gaming, and visualizing places completely different.
