About User Experience Design (UXD)

The field of User Experience Design covers a wide range of skills including Information Architecture, interaction design, interface design, usability evaluation. At the core is:

• user research - learning more about who your users are,

• design - how the web site will be structured, the pages are laid out and how the applications will function, and

• evaluation - testing whether the designs are easily used by users.
