First, you'll explore common website layouts, and you'll create paper wireframes. Next, you'll get to know a few elements and components that are commonly used in responsive website design. Then, you'll transition to create digital wireframes. Finally, you’ll update and refine your wireframes to enhance accessibility.

Frequently asked questions
User experience (UX) designers focus on the experience that users have while using products like websites, apps, and physical objects. UX designers make those everyday interactions useful, enjoyable, and accessible. The role of an entry-level UX designer might include coming up with ideas to address user problems, conducting research with users, and designing wireframes, mockups, and prototypes.
If you enjoy talking to and empathizing with people, drawing, thinking creatively, or paying attention to details, a job as a UX designer might be a good fit for you!
This course is the sixth of seven courses that will equip you with the skills you need to apply to entry-level jobs in user experience design. We strongly recommend that you complete the first five courses of the Google UX Design Certificate before completing this one:
- Course 1: Foundations of User Experience (UX) Design
- Course 2: Start the UX Design Process: Empathize, Define, and Ideate
- Course 3: Build Wireframes and Low-Fidelity Prototypes
- Course 4: Conduct UX Research and Test Early Concepts
- Course 5: Build High-Fidelity Designs and Prototypes in Figma
Alternatively, if you’re hoping to take this as your first course of the program, you should have experience conducting user research in order to empathize with user needs and determine specific user pain points. You need to have the ability to create personas, user stories, user journey maps, and problem statements. You also need to know how to create wireframes and low-fidelity prototypes on paper. It’s helpful to have experience conducting usability studies and iterating on designs, as well. If you are unfamiliar with any of these topics, they are covered in earlier courses of the Google UX Design Certificate.
Adobe XD and Figma are the design tools taught in the Google UX Design Certificate. This course focuses on creating designs in Adobe XD. Learners have nine months of free access to the Single App version of Adobe XD to share unlimited links to prototypes. You must complete Course 1 (including all graded assignments) of the Google UX Design Certificate in order to receive this offer. As a reminder, this offer is exclusive to Google UX Design Certificate learners, and you cannot resell, loan, or share this subscription. After qualifying learners complete Course 1 they will receive an email, and a Coursera message with offer redemption instructions.
Spreadsheets, word processing applications, and presentation applications will also be used. Throughout the program, you will create a professional portfolio, using the platform of your choice, to showcase your UX design work.
