Why User Experience Design?

UX design is listed as one of the best 50 jobs to have in 2022 in a Glassdoor Survey

– Glassdoor Survey, 2022

 

“In the span of five years, this user experience and design team in DBS has grown from two people to 60, which is indicative of the value that design as a function brings to the business” said Mr Lawrence Wong, Finance Minister

– Straits Times, 4 Feb 2021

 

Ever wondered how the websites you visit are functional, easy to read and access? These are the works of UX designers. If you want to try being one, then go get a UX design course from Smartcademy Singapore!

 

The user experience design course from Smartcademy is an in-depth look and feel of how UX has become one of the most crucial aspects of web development.

User experience has been endlessly regarded as the ‘face value’ of a website and most of us agree.
