Building a great software product demands a user interface which appeals to the end-user and is easy and fun to use. A great user-experience guarantees a product’s acceptability in the market. This has lead to complex technological innovations of UI design for building user- friendly products.
Many software developers consider themselves artistic enough, that they hardly follow any UI design standards or try to make a product attractive and easy to use from a customer’s point of view. Instead they resort to creating unique code and an attractive color scheme and believe that that is all that is required to build a good software product. This may have been acceptable in the past, but with growing competition, it is imperative to have product engineers to focus on technology and have separate usability specialists to focus on UI design.
