<p align="LEFT"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The idea behind user experience design is that the UX designer create&#8217;s pleasing, but usable designs for interactive products that improve the satisfaction of customers who want to use the interactive product.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The UX designer puts together aspects of an interactive products design. Don&#8217;t get UX design confused with branding, graphic design, or UI. UX designers may touch on these areas to put a design together. But is UI, UX?, or Brand UX? or Graphic design UX? In the singular sense. No. It isn&#8217;t.</span></span></p>
<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;We see our customers as invited guests to a party, and we are the hosts. It’s our job every day to make every important aspect of the customer experience a little bit better.”&nbsp;</em><br>
<i>Jeff Bezos, Amazon.</i></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">UX exists to design for the customers users experiences when using an interactive product, they, the customers are king, they know what they want, need, require:</span></span></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Cambria, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: large;">&#8220;When a customer enters my store, forget me. He is king.&#8221;</span><br>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Cambria, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: large;"><i>John Wanamaker, Early American pioneer of Marketing, and Business Entrepreneur</i></span></p></blockquote>
<p align="LEFT"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Customers do not use interactive products in the same way as one another, or exactly like developers, or a director of a company, or an <span lang="en-GB">organisation</span> does. Every customer is unique. Every customer uses your product for a reason. If the customer cannot get what they want from your interactive product in a reasonable manner no matter how good it is, its likely that, they, the customer will go elsewhere. This is why UX design&#8217;s, with the understanding of the customer.</span></span></p>
<p align="LEFT"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">UX designers need to consider in designs all stages of the interactive products life-cycle. From first contact with the customer, to how they access help. How the interactive product is maintained, and further iterated. UX design however is not a replacement for Service Design.</span></span></p>
<p align="LEFT"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Most UX designers will implement typography that&#8217;s nice looking fonts sized perfectly for each interactive products interface, but they won&#8217;t design the typeface.</span></span></p>
