This question reverberates in the mind of most people when they see our ads for a Whatsapp UI/UX design course. With the recent high levels of unemployment in Nigeria, which shows no sign of reduction. Many recent graduates are finding it very hard to secure jobs let alone well paid ones. This has forced many graduates to acquire skills with many longing for tech skills which to term is unattainable because of the difficulty of programming. Not everyone can code we understand that, that was the main reason behind the lauching of this course. What inspired me to launch this Whatsapp master course was to show potential entrants into the tech world that the tech world didn’t just involve writing crazy amounts of code, that there were also other well paid career opportunities available that didn’t involve coding.

The little question that will be on your mind right now is “what is UI/UX design?”. I will start the explanation from the meaning of the acronyms. UI design is the short form of user interface design. When using a mobile application or a website, you would love a nice design, colors pleasing to the eyes and a nice simple interface. Look at the two pictures below and judge which app are you likely to uninstall and which app you would use.

UX on the other hand stands for user experience. It is a combination of tools, methods and framework that allow you to solve real problems and elevate a beautiful design into something truly functional, useful and enjoyable.

UI/UX design is a field on the rise and it will keep on rising as companies realize the importance of designing digital products that resonates with their users. With salaries approaching over 300,000 in Nigeria there is no better time to seek to acquire needed skills apart from what is learnt in schools putting into cognizance the number of graduates searching for jobs.That is why we at codepeer are interested in helping you build your portfolio from the day you start with us. So at the end of the course you would be employable.
