Next you’ll be introduced to the 10 Usability heuristics and a range of key UX Design Principles, which help provide guidelines for effective design choices.

Then we look at Information Architecture, what it is and how it’s used to structure content categories or website sections in a way which makes it easy for users to find what they’re looking for. We also talk about user flows and how they’re used to design every interaction in the user journey.

Then we’ll look at how to lay out all the user interface elements in a way which will make the design easy to use and aesthetically pleasing. We start with Sketching to roughly outline where each element will go, before crafting our layout designs into digital Wireframes using Figma.

Next we’ll look at Prototyping, introducing the different methods and techniques to create prototypes before learning how to develop our Figma wireframes into a simple clickable Prototype, which can be used to demonstrate and test the interactivity of our design.

Finally, we’ll cover the process of designing and conducting Usability testing sessions, which will enable you to test your prototype with real users. This will provide insight into the Usability and User Experience of your design and help you identify where it can be improved, in order to fully optimise the User Experience.
