Thanks. Would you mind elaborating more on the difference between UX and design? And how each can help a startup achieve its business goals?

- iampims 16y agoI'm afraid I won't be able to accurately formulate the difference between both. I'll refer you to the wikipedia entry of User Experience Design [1] which will do a much better job than I could.

- replicatorblog 16y agoWe have both roles in our company - A UX designer is largely focused on how things work. If I press "X" button what happens? Should the input method for this app be a number pad or a scroll wheel? etc. A graphic/visual designer is focused on how the app looks. What are the feelings this app is trying to evoke? Does it have a rough "hacker" look or is this something Martha Stewart devotees would like? These are rough generalizations along a spectrum. Some UX designers are more product manager types, interested in specifying features and high level behaviors leaving implementation level wireframes to a designer or engineer. Some graphic designers also like to get involved in the feature selection/design. It really varies by person, but its important to understand what you need before you hire. Nothing worse than trying to get slick graphics from someone whose passion is task analysis or strategic input from someone who loves polishing pixels.
