Designing Your UI INTRODUCTION

Designing Your UI is a key activity for any Meta Front-End Developer Professional Certificate learner. Following best practices, learners will create, share, and test their UI design within Coursera’s learning platform. Designing a great user interface (UI) requires many skills, like understanding the client requirements, wireframing, and prototyping the design in software such as Figma or Adobe XD.

Through this course, learners can develop the tools to produce effective, attractive, user-friendly, and engaging designs for various platforms. By developing these skills, learners can confidently take an idea from concept to completion.
