The Elements of User Experience (book)

"The Elements of User Experience" by Jesse James Garrett outlines the key factors involved in designing effective digital products, like websites and apps. It breaks down the process into five layers: from the most abstract (strategy and goals) to the more concrete aspects (visual design and interaction). The goal is to create a seamless, satisfying experience that meets users’ needs while achieving business objectives. This framework helps designers understand how different aspects—such as user needs, functionality, and aesthetics—connect to produce a user-friendly product.
