Pabini Gabriel-Petit, publisher and editor in chief, said,  "It's our 
goal to provide a venue where people working in UX can come  together to 
discuss important issues, share information, and work collaboratively to 
create a resource that will benefit us all. We hope to  foster 
cooperation and collaboration among people in all UX professions. A 
united UX community is greater than the sum of its parts. Working 
together, we can ensure that business leaders understand the importance 
of designing good user experiences and have a greater impact on the 
quality of digital products."

Dirk Knemeyer, advisory board member and columnist, said, "User 
experience is an increasingly important part of successful  business, 
yet there are relatively few resources illuminating vital UX topics. 
UXmatters will play a critical role in helping to advance the discipline 
and inform people around the world who are interested in it."

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.
