The Basics of UI vs UX

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.

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.
