UI is a precursor to CRO - its about helping the customer reach the end point quickly i.e. checking out or making an enquiry/registering etc
UX is all of the little feelgood things you can add to your design like making buttons respond to interaction, the messages being displayed and might even mean extending the user journey if it vontributes to the experience of the design.
- Isn't the User Interaction Designer (iXD) responsible for "all of the feel good things you add to your design"?utopian

Interaction Design + Visual Design = User Experience

In like 10-20 years people who do design-like things will look back on these types of posts both here and on Linkedin and say "what a bunch of fucking retards?

How do people not know the difference between interface, and experience? Pretty crystal clear. UI is the buttons, scrollbars, graphics. UX is if it makes you feel good or bad, confused or satisfied.

For me the confusion lies when people talk about User Interface as part of 'The Users Experience'.
UI:
Visual design of layout elementsUX:
Conceptual design of a users flow through a system or product.How Barry gets from landing page to making a purchase on bigshoppingsite.com is UX
What Barry has to click on on the landing page to sign in, and where the navigation is on the page that has 'Add to cart/Checkout' is UI.
UX = What happens
UI = What it looks like.Other people argue other points but I think they're fools.
I work as a UX/UI designer and typically the first thing I do when adding new content/functionality to our site is I produce User Flow diagrams that have no visual layout whatsoever, just a list of what components are needed on what pages. We iterate this until it is refined to the simplest and most intuitive feeling process, then I produce mocks for it.
Well Designed Interface ≠ Strong User Experience
