It is needles to say what an important role does World Wide Web play in our everyday lives. In today’s advanced industrial society more and more people are starting their personal websites. The purposes of doing it can be from the student online portfolio to the professional web store or an online based company. The primary goal of every web page is to gain visitors and a lot of them.

In order to understand how does a web site works, it is important to know something called “information architecture”, which is the foundation of good web design and development. IA- is “the structural design of shared information environments – the art and science of labeling and organizing websites -emerging community of practice focused on bringing principles of design and architecture to the digital landscape.” (isbn 10; 0-321-70352-9). Important parts of site also are: the content, visual design, code, usability and quality testing of the site.

I will talk more about more concrete on the other aspects of web site managing in my upcoming posts.

UX & Statistics (3/10)

FACTS FACTS

User Experience design is closely related with Statistics.  It is  all about the user-side of the interaction. Without the surveys and questionnaires and,  later ,  sorting the information,  and later making conclusions of the given results, there would be no progress of any kind and would just be a great mess of lost data. Therefore, people behind Statistics are very important and recently, in today’s industrially developed society and everyday changing technology, they also need to have as well artistic eye on making tons of sorted data – beautifully looking. Why? Because that’s what the society requires – people came to the level when they want to see perfection in everything. Well, computers are doing human’s orders, and humans are not perfect, therefore, we can only try to come a step closer to perfection.

On the other hand, from the UX point of view, all the User Experience designs are based on the results of the Statisticians. They study  questions, like what age groups like what and, what products/colors/trends are more popular and why- this in its turn will bring about the Advertising design, another interesting metaphor to explore 🙂

For the ending, please check out the video about funny way of explaining how  statistics  work and about the nature of User Experience design.

The mission of  this blog is to bring together people who is  interested in studying, researching and analyzing User Experience Design as a discipline, which fully encompasses traditional human-computer interaction (HCI) design, and extends the interaction by addressing all aspects of a product or service as perceived by users.  User experience is any aspect of a person’s interaction with a given IT system, including the interface, graphics, industrial design, physical interaction, and the manual.

User experience Design blog is writing for  people, who are interested in exploring the field of UX and want to gain more interesting knowledges about it. I would like to explain how important this field is, making the emphasis on how important it is for machines to become more and more user friendly, since today it is not on option but a necessity to be able to feel comfortable, “living online” , especially when  the nearest future  is all about super fast   development of new technologies. I want people around the world to be able to use my blog for educational and inspirational purposes. The future of User Experience Design is inevitable in today’s society with its technological and digital development. Currently there are so many users around the world who connect with each other and spread their creative ideas, and share their researches and experiences with people from similar field of interest and UX designers’ mission is to help make people’s interactions enjoyable as much as possible.
