What Is the Difference Between Web Design and User Experience (UI/UX) Design?
TL;DR: Web Design focuses on visual presentation and front-end layout, while User Experience (UI/UX) Design focuses on how users interact with and navigate digital products.
Web Design programs emphasize the visual and technical presentation of websites, including layout, typography, color, branding, and front-end implementation using tools like HTML, CSS, and visual design software. User Experience (UI/UX) Design programs take a more behavior-driven approach, focusing on understanding user needs through research, designing intuitive navigation and interaction flows, creating wireframes and prototypes, and testing usability to improve product effectiveness.
