UI/UX
UI design stands for “user interface.” The user interface is the graphical layout of an application. It consists of the buttons users click on, the text they read, the images, sliders, text entry fields, and all the other items the user interacts with. This includes screen layout, transitions, interface animations and every single micro-interaction. Any visual element, interaction,or animation must be designed.
UX stands for “user experience.” A user’s experience of the app is determined by how they interact with it. Is the experience smooth and intuitive or clunky and confusing? Does navigating the app feel logical or does it feel arbitrary? Does interacting with the app give people the sense that they’re efficiently accomplishing the tasks they set out to achieve or does it feel like a struggle? User experience is determined by how easy or difficult it is to interact with the user interface elements that the UI designers have created.

In color theory, colors are organized on a color wheel and grouped into 3 categories: primary colors, secondary colors and tertiary colors.

A smooth user journey :

Keep it simple :
Less is more when it comes to website design: make sure you don’t cram too many visual elements onto one page and stick to a uniform color scheme and one or two different fonts. When your website has a streamlined design, it’s easier for users to stay on task and accomplish what they came there to do.To prioritize simple, functional design, ask yourself what purpose every element serves;
