In the online world, countless modern terms are floating around, often as abbreviations, which makes it even more difficult to understand. We explain what UX means and where it matters.

UX stands for user experience, which should be as good as possible on all levels.

UX is short for "user experience," which translates as user experience. This already hints at what UX design is all about.

What is UX design and how is it applied?

In simple terms, UX design is about making a program as comfortable, trouble-free and goal-oriented usable as possible.

• In detail, the UX consequently includes many aspects, starting with the layout and ending with functional elements.
• UX design is used in very different application areas, first and foremost in apps, but also in websites such as online stores.
• UX thus sees itself as the interface between the application and the end user, as it is the touch point of the two sides.

For a better explanation, UX specialist Megan Wilson came up with the banana analogy: just like the yellow fruit, a digital product must be really ripe so that the customer can enjoy it, from the skin to the core. It must visually signal its ripeness and be easily digestible in terms of content, without the need for any other aids.The same applies to digital services and their UX; numerous counterexamples provide the proof.
