We all want to create products that delight people around us, help to make their lives easier and more enjoyable. Creating great experiences starts with understanding your users, their behavior, motivations, and goals. Remote user studies is an ideal tool for a UX designer to get insights from end-users who may be located anywhere in the world.

These studies provide access to a larger pool of potential customers, cut out travel time, and can significantly lower the cost of usability testing. It allows you to conduct user research with participants in their natural environment by employing screen-sharing software or online remote usability vendor services. In general, tests should be about 20–30 minutes long made up of about 3-5 tasks.

In UX design, research is a fundamental part of solving relevant problems and/or narrowing down to the “right” problem users face. A designer’s job is to understand their users, which means going beyond their initial assumptions and putting themselves in another person’s shoes in order to create products that respond to a human need.

Let me start off by saying that we are not “pure” researchers. We don’t have to follow a strictly scientific method. We do create hypotheses and test them. BUT we can be nimble, we can change the prototypes on the fly. We measure our success by the outcomes we reach.

UI design and UX design are two of the most often confused and conflated terms in web and app design. Most of the people get confused and it becomes hard to differentiate between two. They’re usually placed or used together in a single term, UI/UX design which results in the confusion.

What exactly are UI design and UX design, and what is the difference between the two?

Simply, UI is how things look, UX is how things work.

”User experience”, or UX, is an important aspect in Website Design and as well as in Mobile applications. Because in today’s world we need everything fast and crisp to the point. No one wants to wait and figure out where they need to go on a website or in an app to use a feature they want to use.

Therefore, web designers are in need to provide the best possible layout for each website. However, it is easier said than done. Because as nature created us each of us has, a different thought process of looking at things. Therefore, web designers turn to UX Professionals to create such layouts for their website or app so that their users have the best experience whenever they interact with them.
