UX Design: Understanding User Engagement

User experience (UX) design provides a theoretical understanding of how users interact with websites. Everything humans interact with has an experience associated with it. Some are good, some are bad, but it is only recently that have we begun to consciously design these experiences. We are now at a point in time when experience-design has suddenly exploded into the consciousness of business people and ordinary people all over the world.
