How do web developers work with UX Designers?
Ironhack - 2021-11-30
UX/UI Design
Collaboration is key in bringing a successful tech product to the market so specialisms such as Coding or UX (User Experience) Design often go hand in hand. A UX designer creates a product that users want. This involves researching, branding, designing, and then testing its usability and functionality. Successful UX designers are highly in demand and can command top salaries. They would, however, find it hard to do their job without the support and expertise of an experienced web developer. The designer provides the research and the design while the web developer provides a visual realization of the design as well as a development timeline. This means that web developers and UX designers have interdependent roles and have to work closely together as a team. We've put together six ways in which taking an Ironhack Web Development bootcamp or a UX/UI Design course can lead to a productive and collaborative career.
