UI/UX design examples

How can I improve my UI UX design?

Many examples of UI/UX sites are not actually good examples. Because they completely forget about the user.
The number one rule is to know your user, but more importantly companies and site owners need to understand that they aren’t the user.

ITS NOT ABOUT YOU- ITS ABOUT THE CUSTOMER (ALWAYS)

What I mean by that is many companies will project their ideology or emotions onto its user base whether or not that user base is receptive to it. I once had a client who wanted to put her dog, her brother and her family into her logo and somehow stuff that into a cooperated brand.

When you make a site about the user and make it function for the user and have appropriate branding for the target audience, that is the example of good UI/UX
Never make it personal, you aren’t trying to make money from yourself and a couple of family members you are trying to run and make money as a professional business.

What are the Best UI /UX  Websites for ideas?

I wouldn’t go looking for ideas, because you will only find bad ones that look pretty. I’d say the best way to go about getting ideas is to create them yourself. This can be achieved easily  by mapping out your site and creating a detailed  plan.  While it may seem like its easier to just piggy back off of someone else’s Idea, it  will end up costing you more money and time, because the ideas wont always match up with template quick fixes.

When I plan out and design my sites, I like to test them with real live users. I often will get a child or an older person to test them. The more computer illiterate the better. Remember the whole point of designing a site is so that any person will be able to use them.

Often times when we design websites,  as designers we don’t see the flaws in our design because unlike most of our users they don’t build sites for a living, so it’s important to not focus so much on design but on how its usability stacks up to an actual average user.
