"UI Development" is not gate keeper of great UX. If you want great UX invest in professional UX designers.
If you want great house to live in, hire an architect, not civil engineers.
[Edit]
After hiring UX designers, listen to them, fund them (enough dev bandwidth to realize the design proposals), do not triage away "nice to fix" UI bugs.
That is, change the engg' mindset.
- colinjoy 5y agoIf I had to choose between a great architect and a mediocre builder or a master builder and a mediocre architect, I would choose the former to build my house. I say that as an (UX) architect :) Plans are worth little if you don't have the right people to translate them into reality with the right quality - and in my experience that involves more than painting by numbers. Imo great UI developers are essential for building great UI experiences.
