People with limited sight or no sight who interact with an interface still have a user experience, just one that doesn't rely on sight. That said, people who do experience the visual portion can have an enhanced experience if the visual design follows conventions designed to convey information. | |

| Jun 5, 2015 at 19:01 | comment | added | Raydot | Devil's advocate response: If visual design matters then how do you explain the amazing success of Microsoft's crappy products? I've been using Outlook for almost 20 years and it seems to me it's never the same interface twice (no, I'm not an idiot). And yet it has a consistently high market share! So I think Michael is on to something with his response. | |

| Jun 3, 2015 at 1:10 | comment | added | Michael Lai♦ | The short answer is that visual design affects one or more aspects of the overall user experience. It may not necessarily be the most important part in the context of helping the user achieve their goals, but it is inevitably tied to the perception of the user. Another way to think about the question would be to ask: "Does good/bad visual design really affect UX?" And I think you'll agree that the answer is YES, but in what way? That's the $64,000 question. | |
| Jun 2, 2015 at 20:04 | comment | added | Nicholas Pappas | Very good question. To emphasize a point that some answers have missed -- the question concerns UX, not just usability. The two are interconnected and related things, but not the same. | |
