One of the most important elements of software development is a good
user interface or UI. While the adding, editing, processing, reporting
and deleting of data is foundational, a good GUI can make the difference
between a successful and a failed UX (user experience).
All good
software starts with a good UI design. And in the world of mobile apps
that is even more crucial than ever before. Ease of access, readability,
functionality, colors, etc. all contribute to an app's appeal and
usefulness.
One way to get started quickly in the app design process is by prototyping.
