Frequently Asked Questions
What is the actual difference between a UX Designer and a UI Designer?
The UX (User Experience) Designer focuses on information architecture, flows, usability, and ensuring the product solves a real problem simply. The UI (User Interface) Designer handles the visual look and feel: typography, color systems, interactive components, and visual brand consistency across screens.
Do I need to know how to code to work as a UX Designer?
No, writing code is not mandatory. However, having a basic understanding of front-end technologies (like HTML, CSS, and component frameworks) helps immensely in designing technically feasible solutions and drastically improves communication with the development team.
