The most crucial aspect to form a great user experience is having a beautifully crafted user interface. Some small changes to your aesthetics can have a huge impact on the experience of your users.
If you're designing using a web application, you're making decisions about typography, colour and composition. These will affect the branding, style, usability and user experience of your application. You're already making these decisions but are you aware of their impact. Very subtle use of typography and colour can have enough personality that we don't need any other visuals. We can give life to a dull block of text and it can make it easier or harder for our user to read. Getting a few simple choices right can make or break the application.

Is this course for me?
Ideally, you'll already have spent some time designing websites and/or applications. Every aspect of the course is created with beginners in mind but you may find you get more out of the course if you've already created some designs. You'll also ideally need to know how to use some design software. I recommend Figma, but Adobe XD, Invission Studio, Sketch or some similar software will also be okay.

The course is created with designers in mind but it may also be of interest to front-end developers or product owners.
