UI Designer
User Interface Designers (UI Designer) differ from UX Designers in that they are responsible for taking the UX outputs (wireframes etc.) and concentrate on how best to layout the design for the platform/site.
They are in charge of designing each screen or page a user interacts with and ensuring that this delivers the best possible experience. Just like graphic designers, UI Designers have a real understanding of layout and typography albeit with a specialisation in digital channels / platforms.
Given the popularity of mobile devices, both UX and UI candidates must have experience in creating effective user experience and journeys across all desktop, mobile and tablet devices – responsive, cross-browser design experience is therefore essential. The boundary between UI and UX designers is fairly blurred and it is not uncommon for companies to opt to combine these roles.
Salary wise outside of London the role generally pays between £30,000 to £45,000 depending on regional variance and level of experience.
Cheshire
Cheshire is the gentle southern land to both Liverpool and Manchester, the preferred postal code of choice for its affluent citizens – including the cities' many football-made millionaires, who choose the charm of the county's contemporary version of ye olde England. Complete with fields populated by hundreds of Friesian cows, hosts of Tudor houses and top notch transport links. But for most people the real delight of Cheshire is Chester, a thumping town with a vibrant student community, fabulous nightlife and many hallowed retail outlets.
