UX Design For Web Application Developers
This course covers User Experience Design (UX Design) for web application developers with practical examples of what to do and more importantly what not to do. Broadly speaking, UX Design refers to the overall interaction and satisfaction a user has when engaging with a product, service, or system. With websites, this encompasses all aspects of the end-user’s interaction - ease of use, efficiency, accessibility, and the resulting emotional responses. The goal of effective UX design is to create products that are not only functional but also enjoyable and intuitive to use. Bringing this UX focus to the Developer’s work is about ensuring the site user's needs are met seamlessly. Key factors of UX Design include usability, accessibility, aesthetics, and performance across various platforms and touchpoints. This course will deal with each of these areas.
