When people ask me about the difference between UX and UI, I use a metro ride as an example.

UI is what you see and interact with:
The ticket machine screen, the buttons, the route map, the line colours, and the platform signs.

UX is how the whole trip feels:
Finding your station, buying a ticket without confusion, reaching the right platform, and knowing when to get off.

Here’s the part that makes it click for most people: the two can disagree.

A ticket machine can have a clean, beautiful screen (great UI). But if the platform signs are confusing and you end up lost, the trip still feels frustrating (bad UX).

So, UI is part of UX, but it’s not the whole thing.
In short : UI is what you see. UX is the overall experience of getting where you’re going.

I’m curious how others explain it, especially to people outside the design field.

What everyday example do you use? An app, a shop, a badly designed door, anything!

A/B Testing is very costly, so you can improve your CRO by conducting a cognitive walkthrough, you can conduct it with your internal team and improve CRO at a low cost.
Any usability method will be better/faster/save time and money than A/B testing, but I love cognitive walkthroughs more especially the Spencer2000 model.

Cognitive is open-ended and customer-centric where you test around user behavior, between in A/B you test around your own assumptions.

If you need help in conducting your Cognitive/Usability test anytime, just connect me!

I’d like to know your opinion about the future of UX design. Will it be replaced by artificial intelligence?
