Definition
How a person feels when interacting with a system, including a website, web application, desktop software.
Deep Dive
User Experience (UX) encompasses every aspect of a user's interaction with a product, service, or system, including how they feel before, during, and after using it. It goes beyond mere functionality or aesthetics, focusing on the overall perception and emotional response engendered by the interaction. A good UX ensures that the product is useful, usable, desirable, findable, accessible, and credible, ultimately aiming to create a positive and seamless interaction that satisfies the user's needs and goals.
