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.
Stoke on Trent
Stoke-on-Trent is a city in Staffordshire, officially formed in 1910 by a federation of six towns: Hanley, Burslem, Longton, Stoke, Tunstall and Fenton.
Stoke-on-Trent has been the home of the pottery and fine ceramics industry in England since the 12th century and is commonly known as ‘the Potteries’, with the local football team, Stoke City FC, affectionately known as ‘the Potters’.
Over more recent times the area has developed from being primarily an industrial hub, to a centre for service industries and distribution centres.
Stoke-on-Trent is situated about half-way between Manchester and Birmingham, while the Peak District National Park and the Staffordshire Moorlands are a short drive away.
