Overview
The 2 day certified User Experience Design UXD course explores the steps of designing a website or application in order to attract the intended target g audiences and user groups. By learning this skill, we will help you achieve an understanding of users' problems and ways to address them, learn to integrate graphic aspects with application goals, gain effective testing techniques, and more.
UXD studies and evaluates how users feel about the product, looking at such things as ease of use, aesthetics, perception of the value of the system, utility, or efficiency.
UX designers explore and test out a variety of different approaches to solving specific user problems.
The broad responsibility of a UX designer is to ensure that the product logically flows from one step to the next. They also constantly develop software to keep up with technological advancements and increase user satisfaction.
This course will teach you to create well-crafted, easy-to-use websites that encourage users to come back again.
