How to measure UI/UX design impact on business
UI/UX design refers to the process of creating interfaces that users can interact with on digital platforms. The UI (User Interface) is the graphical layout of an application while the UX (User Experience) refers to the overall experience a user has when interacting with a digital product or service.
