What is UXD?one

What is UXD?User Experience Design (UXD or UED) is a

broad term used to explain all aspects of a person’s experience with the system, including

the interface, graphics, industrial design, physical interaction, and the manual. It also refers to the application of user-centered design practices to

generate cohesive, predictive and desirable designs based on holistic consideration of users’

experience.

interface, graphics, industrial design, physical

interaction, and the manual”

Why is UXD so

important2

Why is it important to have UXD?

On the Web, it is a necessary condition for survival. If a website is difficult to use, people leave. If the

homepage  fails to clearly state what a company offers and what users can do on the site, people leave. If users get

lost on a website, they leave.
