About the Course

This course is focused on the early user experience (UX) challenges of research, planning, setting goals, understanding the user, structuring content, and developing interactive sequences. While the concepts covered will translate to many kinds of interactive media (apps, digital kiosks, games), our primary focus will be on designing contemporary, responsive websites. In this course you will complete the first half of a large scale project—developing a comprehensive plan for a complex website—by defining the strategy and scope of the site, as well as developing its information architecture and overall structure. Along the way we will also discuss: - Different job descriptions in the web design industry and where UX and UI skills fall within this spectrum - The difference between native apps and websites - The difference of agile vs. waterfall approaches - User personas and site personas - User testing The work and knowledge in this course continues in the last course in the UI/UX Design Specialization, Web Design: Wireframes to Prototypes, where you will tackle—finally—wireframes, visual mockups, and clickable prototypes. This is the third course in the UI/UX Design Specialization, which brings a design-centric approach to user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) design, and offers practical, skill-based instruction centered around a visual communications perspective, rather than on one focused on marketing or programming alone. These courses are ideal for anyone with some experience in graphic or visual design and who would like to build their skill set in UI or UX for app and web design. It would also be ideal for anyone with experience in front- or back-end web development or human-computer interaction and want to sharpen their visual design and analysis skills for UI or UX....

An excellent course professionally delivered by Mr. Roman. I particularly enjoy the interviews that are included in the course – I think it helps me better understand how students can apply the learnings in the real design world and other interesting, sophisticated perspectives that I believe every student will find beneficial. However, to those who are considering taking this course, I must emphasise that try not to have high expectations on the peer reviews.. while some of your peers' advice will be of excellent help, most of them aren't (from my personal experience)

This one took more time for me to finish and definitely worth it. It was challenging for me to put my ideas into words (and not visuals) and make sure that it was comprehensive to whoever would read it. I had to really be more thoughtful about how I communicate my ideas and the process I had to go through which I never really had to do before. I know that getting through this and becoming better at information architecture will an indispensable tool in building an effective UI/UX experience. Thank you!

very useful course. I learned how to start to map content and functionality ideas for a web page

and how to organize strategy.

cons: The interview with students could be much more energetic (like the interview with Melisa).

Also the grading process could be more developed.

Now it seems that students give you the higher grade without a comment just to go through as quickly as possible.

I really liked this course. The instructor is very good at explaining everything and I love how he had videos of two previous classmates doing the projects - it definitely helped me better understand our own project. I gave 4 stars because I wish this was the first course in this specialization, not the third.

I would have loved to have designed a website of entirely my own choosing, but I understand why the project brief was the same for all the students involved. It makes it much easier to review other students' projects.

Great content, I think most of the concept was taught in my highschool Information Technology subject, however, this is a good reinforcement. The peer reviewing process needs to be improved.

Would of been good to have the importance of peer reviews introduced at the beginning of the specialization. Otherwise it was okay.
