UX refers to ‘user experience’ which is the way that we perceive our interaction with a product or application. UI refers to ‘user interface’ which is the visual representation, all the visual elements, of our ‘user experience’.
UI developers and UI designers work together to design and develop the user-facing components of websites, web applications, and mobile applications. They build all the components that we see and interact with, either as financial services customers or as employees using digital tools within financial services organisations.
UI designers focus on creating the overall look and feel (the design) of an interface, while UI developers bring those designs to life by developing the necessary code that enables an interface to function in a certain way when users interact with it.
UI/UX Developers can progress to roles such as Lead UX Designer, Product Designer, or Head of User Experience..
