The Basics of UI vs.UX: What’s the Difference?
All dogs are animals, but not every animal is a dog. In the same way, all user interface elements contribute to the user experience, yet not all aspects of the user experience are defined by the user interface.
The distinction between User Interface (UI) and User Experience (UX) lies in their focus: UI pertains to the visual design elements of a product, such as color schemes, navigation, and button styles, while UX centers on the functional aspects of how users interact with a product or service. UI deals with the aesthetic components, while UX emphasizes the user's journey and the guiding factors. Hence, UI is more about the product’s appearance, whereas UX is more about its structure and usability.
