Design is about experience: 7 UX trends to be aware of

Once again, design is responsible for both how the product looks, i.e. UI, and how it feels when used, i.e. UX. The structure and logic dictate how we perceive the product and whether we enjoy using it or not. Interestingly, 90% of people will leave the site or app with a poor user experience.
The golden rule says: “If you do not notice the design of a product, then it’s good.” That’s why UX design trends are all about making the product feel native, familiar, and natural when the user interacts with its components and functionality.
EDTECH@UTRGV's insight:

The same golden rule holds true for online course design. If you don't get distracted by the design and navigation of the course, it's a good thing.
