This lesson covers three core principles of UI and UX design for web applications: usability, accessibility, and user-centered design. It also explains how usability testing and best practices help create products that are easy to use and inclusive.

Usability measures how easily and efficiently users can complete tasks in a product. It focuses on clear navigation, responsiveness, and minimizing user effort so people can accomplish goals quickly with fewer errors.

Accessibility ensures digital products can be used by people with visual, auditory, motor, and cognitive disabilities. It relies on practices such as sufficient color contrast, keyboard navigation, screen reader compatibility, and semantic HTML, guided by standards like WCAG.

User-centered design is an approach that puts users at the center of the design process. Teams research user needs, behaviors, and pain points, then design, test, and iterate on solutions based on continuous feedback.

Usability testing is a key part of user-centered design. Observing real users interact with a product reveals problems and opportunities, and those insights are used to refine the design so it matches user expectations.

Usable, accessible applications increase satisfaction and engagement, reach a wider audience that includes people with disabilities, and help organizations meet legal accessibility requirements. They also reduce user frustration and support retention.

Common best practices include clear navigation, consistent layouts, readable typography, sufficient color contrast, descriptive labels, keyboard accessibility, and responsive design.
