About User Experience
User experience (UX) encompasses all aspects of a digital product that
users experience directly--and perceive, learn, and use--including its
form, behavior, and content. Learnability, usability, usefulness, and
aesthetic appeal are key factors in users' experience of a product. User
experience design takes a holistic, multidisciplinary approach to the
design of user interfaces for digital products. It integrates
interaction design, industrial design, information architecture, visual
interface design, instructional design, and user-centered design,
ensuring coherence and consistency across all of these design
dimensions. User experience design defines a product's form, behavior,
and content.
