Spend a day doing work with designers, and you’ll get an earful of their specialized UX terminology: wireframes, mockups, interface, grids and more. But there’s nothing mystical about what they’re saying. To collaborate successfully with your design team, you need to speak a common language. This article, tailored to non-designers, will cover design principles, explain their importance, and define essential terms. If you’re a designer, show this article to your clients when launching a new project.
What Can UX Terminology Make Clear?
You might have heard this story. A king takes his most-trusted advisors and puts a
blindfold on each one, so they can’t see anything. Then he brings them into a dark room.
The king says to his advisors, “I have been to a faraway land, and I have brought back
something unlike anything you have ever known. It is called an elephant.”
What is an elephant?” the advisors ask. The king says, “Touch the elephant and describe
it to me.” The first advisor rubs a leg and says, “The elephant is a pillar.” Another
advisor feels the tail and says, “The elephant is a rope.” The third advisor strokes the
belly and declares, “The elephant is a wall.” And the last advisor touches the tusk and
announces, “The elephant is a solid pipe.” “You are all wrong, and all correct at the
same time,” says the king. “For you are each touching just a part of the elephant.”
People with different backgrounds, education and experience have different views about
design. They all resemble the king’s advisors from this story. A visual designer
approaches design from one point of view, the interaction designer from another. Then
there is the business owner, the information architect, the manager, the programmer and
so on.
All this brings us to an important conclusion: when creating a design, you should always understand and think of the people who are going to use it. And if you’re creating, let’s say, a UI/UX design for fintech, you’ll know you did great when your grandmother uses your app to send you money for Christmas – and does it easily. If you’re committed to thinking of your target audience and how they’re going to use your app, you’re ready for these five tips, which will improve your UI/UX development for fintech. Each tip is drawn from our own experience and practice.

Though the wireframe may look just like a set of grey blocks, it is a low-detail presentation of a design. This design skeleton contains all the important elements of the final product. It shows the main groups of content, the data structure, and a description of the user interaction with the interface. The developers, designers, copywriters, managers who work on the team all need a well-crafted wireframe.
(1) Visibility: The system should always keep users informed about what is going on, through appropriate feedback within a reasonable time.
(2) Visualization: Illustration of information objects and their relationships on a display. Strategic visualization graphically illustrates the strength of relationships by the proximity of objects on the display.
