In an age where people's attention spans are finite and user expectations run high, digital products and services can no longer thrive without consideration of their intended audience. UX is a mindset and human-centered process that focuses on "designing the right thing" by exploring people's needs, defining problems, and delivering iterative improvements to ensure exceptional experiences with a digital product or service. In 2020, Forrestser research noted that good UI can raise your website's conversion by 200%, while better UX design can increase conversions by up to 400%.

Throughout this course, you will develop hands-on UX skills and knowledge in real world contexts, gain experience with industry-recognised best practice tools like Figma, and learn the end-to-end UX process. This course has been built with leading industry partners Symplicit, so you can feel confident that what you’re studying is best practice and aligned with the desired skillset in the industry.

Transcript

User experience design now is one of the most important things you can do as an organization. It's paramount that we do user testing and you include user experience whenever we're designing a new product, a new service - delivers much better return on investment for our businesses and for our users and customers.

Spending millions of dollars building products when you don't even know if they're necessary is a huge risk to the organization. There's going to be an exponential change and how people interact with digital products and services given how young people are interacting. Our definition of what easy to use means keeps building and with new technology if we have this new context of the way people are going to be interacting. People are going to be thinking about that carbon footprint, people are going to be thinking about their impact. UX is going to have to start bringing that into the way that we think about things. UX designers will be embedded in every single company and organization. It'll be relevant for quite a few years into the future so I think it's a great career choice
