While these two services are distinct, they overlap in many aspects and are often provided as a package by many UI/UX design companies in the USA.  

Here are more details on each: 

UI DesignUX Design
  • Visual design: layout, typography, color, iconography  
  • Interactive components: buttons, forms, navigation, responsive design 
  • Design systems and specifications for development 
  • Micro-interactions and motion interaction design, when needed 
  • User research: interviews, surveys, field studies 
  • Journey mapping, personas, and problem definition 
  • Information architecture and user flows 
  • Usability testing and iteration (and sometimes support for analytics or A/B testing)

How long do UI/UX design projects normally take?

Project timelines tend to scale with the complexity and scope of the engagement: 

  • Smaller UX design efforts (like audits, interface refreshes, or lightweight UX engagements) are usually completed within 2 weeks to 3 months, depending on scope and research depth. 
  • Standard UI/UX design projects for websites or mobile apps typically span 3 to 5 months, due to the comprehensive research, user testing, and iterations involved. 
  • Larger and more complex projects, especially those involving extensive user research or multifaceted SaaS platforms, can take over 6 months. 

Here's a timeline breakdown: 

  • Discovery and research take about 1-2 weeks, and generally cover discovery workshops, technical requirement gathering, project goals and metrics, project roadmaps, UX research, and user personas. 
  • Conceptualization and wireframing can span 1-2 weeks, and include IA, user flows, and navigation systems. 
  • Visual design and prototyping may need 2-3 weeks, depending on complexity (e.g., using UI Kits over creating from scratch) and availability of brand materials. 
  • Testing and iteration may require 2 weeks or more, depending on the feedback loop and testing volume and depth.
