kestrellKes: To frame this in terms of accessibility:
A vendor or developer might claim that their website or app is accessible--that's the user interface,
but
Different users, even if they have the same disability, such as being completely blind, will experience different levels when it comes to ease of use, or even mixed results as to whether all the users find that website or app accessible - this is the user experience.
Example: Discord has improved the accessibility of its interface for visually impaired users,
but
only a small percentage of visually impaired users find Discord to be accessible to the degree that they can use it with some level of ease - that is the user experience.
Thus, it is important to consider that, just because an interface is described as accessible by the developer, or even one or two power users, doesn't mean that this is the experience that all, or even most, visually impaired users will have.
Excerpt:
At the most basic level, the user interface (UI) is the series of screens, pages, and visual elements—like buttons and icons—that enable a person to interact with a product or service.
User experience (UX), on the other hand, is the internal experience that a person has as they interact with every aspect of a company’s products and services.
It’s common for folks to use these terms interchangeably, or sometimes incorrectly. If you’ve ever wondered, “What is UI, what is UX, and what’s the difference between them?” in today’s post we’ll dig a bit deeper into UI and UX to get a better understanding of the differences between them.
