User experience (or UX) is a term developers use to describe how your customers interact with your software.
I’m sure you’ve used a website or an app before and been bamboozled or frustrated – this is an example of bad UX. Conversely, as well as simply delivering functionality to your users, good UX will go that extra step to make your software a delight to use.

Blockchain will have a massive impact on banking, digital identity, smart contracts, digital voting, and decentralized notary. So what does this mean for designers?

Are you creating a “cross-channel conversational engine powered by machine-learning technology”, or simply “a chatbot that learns with the users”?

Content, videos and images have the ability to influence a reader’s mind. Content strategy is getting all these things in line so that the final product looks deliverable. Simply put, content strategy works like glue that holds a massive project together. It is a plan for creating delivering and managing usable, useful content.

Where do you get your news? Do you think it’s objective? Do you trust it?
Fewer people are relying on print (newspapers and magazines) and even TV for their news.
Print subscriptions continue to decline and almost half of Americans report getting their news online, nearly the same as TV news.
Despite the evolution of the news “interface” from print and TV to digital, many of the same content sources remain. Traditional TV and print sources of news are also popular online sources. Consequently, we benchmarked the desktop user experience of the following seven news websites: BBC, CNN, Fox News, Huffington Post, The New York Times, The Guardian and The Wall Street Journal.

The evidence for using digital technologies to improve outcomes in mental health care is growing at a rapid rate. Already, studies have highlighted how technology can be used to effectively provide well-established treatments, such as cognitive behavioral therapy.

My first-day advice to new members of the team boils down to, “Don’t worry, you are going to be totally miserable in about three months.”
We all know the excitement of that first day at work. There are new people to meet, new projects to learn, and new roles and responsibilities to master. Part of the intoxication of those early weeks is they are often the only time in our adult lives we are allowed to ask stupid questions and not have to pretend to know everything.

The most exciting projects I’ve worked on, and that had the best impact on the people using them, had several things in common. There was a good understanding of the technologies involved, their limitations and the foundations needed for a proper solution. Most importantly, though, experience design played a big role, creating a clear sense of who the audience was and how people would be using the interface.

Death is an inevitable thing for every human being. We all die someday as everything fades away into the dust with time. The UX design was a hot topic 4 years ago when I was working as a frontend engineer for a reputed company at that time. I was really interested to know this wonderful subject. As the time pass by I wanted to become a UX designer because I fell in love with the subject called User Experience. After nearly 4 successful years as a UX designer, I had one single question. “Are we doing the right thing?” After becoming a big fan of the Medium I build a habit of reading every article which was written about User Experience. It made me very happy because I felt like I am not alone in this world. Many writers talk about User Experience design but most of the things I have seen has been already found by someone else. User Experience has stopped evolving to its full potential. We swim in a swimming pool with water pored many years back. Now you might be wondering “What the hell are you talking about?” Before User Experience designers there were interaction designers who worked on creating better interactions and “responsive websites”. We always adopt new things as designers while some titles fade away.
