The entire UI / UX design process can be divided into 5 stages. The responsible department of your organization will analyze every step, and so it will be almost complete!

The various steps involved in the User experience design process are as follows:

1.Product Definition

• Product definition is the first step involved in the user design process. The team responsible for this will collect the user's needs based on their business environment.

• It is very necessary because the real scope of the product and the understanding of their existence takes place at this stage.

• It's simple; Before starting work, explain the requirements to your UI / UX designers!

• The people involved in this phase are the design team, the business manager, and the product manager. The entire team should consult with clients in their environment. Analyze their needs within the framework of your operation.

• Notable results of this phase are user personality, user stories, and use case diagrams.

2. Research

Research is the most crucial element for a designer. The designing team studies how the existing system works for the current client proposal. There are three main functions at this stage:

• Have an understanding of competition.
• Study your existing domain thoroughly.
• Going through a competitive strategy to test the results.

The research process should also include an understanding of the latest UI / UX trends, design principles, and guidelines.

3. Analysis

In this phase, use the items collected in the research phase. Using the information obtained, create a guessing personality and experience the map.

• Hypothetical Personas: Creating predictable scenarios helps designers learn about different individuals who will be users of your product. It allows showing the actual presentation of the final product. The design team can figure out what the look will look like after delivery.

• Experience Maps: Experience maps show user flow in your final product. All this is done using visual representations through proper interaction with the client in the product definition phase.

4. Design

In the design process, we finally finish giving life to the ideas collected in the above three steps. Now is the time to work on the final graphics. The design team will execute the final design at this stage.

Significant results of the designing phase are:

Sketching:

The designing phase begins with sketching. Designers usually create handmade sketches to visualize the concept in simple terms. UX / UI designers can stick to a specific option after the sketching process.

Creating wireframes:

A wireframe is a visual structure that displays page hierarchy and elements in a product. The wireframe is considered the backbone of the product. It is also called the skeleton of design. It’s mostly about the overall look of the final product.

Creating Prototypes:

The prototypes focus on the realization of the UI / UX product that one designs. It’s more about the experience of interaction. Prototypes give you the effect of a simulator.

Creating Design Specifications: Design specification includes user flow and task flow diagrams. It depicts the overall working and the style requirements of the UI/UX product. It describes the processes and graphical elements to create amazing user experiences.

5.Validation or Testing

Testing is a phase that determines the overall quality of the final product. Examiners make notes of matters that need to be corrected and send them back to a respected team to correct errors.

When evaluating your final product, there are several factors to consider. They are as follows:

• Is the system user-friendly?
• Is it flexible and easy to operate?
• Does it solve the client's problem?
• Is it reliable and attracts users to come back every time they need your service?

To create an amazing UX / UI interface, one needs to follow a systematic and organized approach. A UI / UX design process strategy will help you achieve that.

The entire design team will play its part in the process. This is a great way to retain your existing customers and attract new ones in this highly competitive world.

You can watch the following tutorial and you can continue reading this article.

Follow the Steps given here for setup push notification.

Step 1: You can quickly install Push via npm

npm install push.js --save

Step 2: Update webpack.mix.js

Add following code into webpack.mix.js for copy and publish assets like js in the public directory. you can see the example here

mix.copy('node_modules/push.js/bin/push.min.js',
    'public/assets/js/push.min.js');

I hope you know how to use laravel mix. you can watch this video tutorial if you want to know more about the laravel mix.

fire, npm run dev command and publish js.

Step 3: Add assets in blade file

Add script before closing body tag.

<script src="{{ asset('assets/js/push.min.js') }}"></script>

Step 4: Add this code where you want to show a push

// add logo in public dir and use it here
const iconPath = '{{ asset('logo.PNG') }}

Recently, I have created a new package for Laravel Community. it's called Laravel PWA. first of all what is PWA? let me explain a bit more about PWA. PWA means progressive web application. PWA provides a facility to install your web application on mobile and desktop. you don't need to write lots of line code in native platform-specific code.

You can create a PWA site in a few minutes using Laravel PWA.

You can watch the video tutorial as well to install this package.

Add Service Provide into app.php config file in provider section. You can skip this step if you installed it in Laravel 6 and more.

Ladumor\LaravelPwa\PWAServiceProvider::class,

Step 3:

Add Facade to app.php config file in aliases section. You can skip this step if you installed it in Laravel 6 and more.

'LaravelPwa' => \Ladumor\LaravelPwa\LaravelPwa::class,

Step 4:

I think installation is done and no need to publish all the assets using the following command,

php artisan laravel-pwa:publish

Step 5:

This step is very important. you published all the assets in the previous step. now, you need to link all the assets in your main blade file. for ex app.blade.php

Add the following code in the root blade file in the header section.

<!-- PWA  -->
<meta name="theme-color" content="#6777ef"/>
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="{{ asset('logo.PNG') }}">
<link rel="manifest" href="{{ asset('/manifest.json') }}">

Add following code in root blade file before close the body,

<script src="{{ asset('/sw.js') }}"></script>
<script>
    if (!navigator.serviceWorker.controller) {
        navigator.serviceWorker.register("/sw.js").then(function (reg) {
            console.log("Service worker has been registered for scope: " + reg.scope);
        });
    }

Web browser, is the most used application or portal for users to access the Internet. These browsers are very advanced, with improved usability and ubiquity. The individual is exposed to different internet browsers. Each of them consists of some perceived and real benefits. However, it is also true that none of them are safe from security threats. In fact, website browsers are more vulnerable to security vulnerabilities and when users interact with websites, they carry the possibilities of malware and other threats in them.

Mainly, 5 most common browser security threats and how to protect your system

With that in mind, here are some of the most common browser security threats and how to protect your system from them are follow below:

1. Removing Saved Login Credentials

Bookmarks associated with saved logins for linked sites is a terrible combination and doesn't really favor your system. When this is done, a hacker with little knowledge can hack it. There are some websites that use two-factor authentication, such as sending OTPs to your mobile phone to access them. However, many of them use this as a one-time access token so that a person can confirm his or her identity on the system they are intended to connect from. Deleting saved credentials is not good for your browser as well as for your system in general. Cybercriminals A can easily reset important identifiers and profiles on almost every website you visit. They can do this from anywhere and at any time. Once they have your IDs and passwords, they can run them from any system of their choice.

2. Permission to Browser History

Your browser's browsing history is a type of map or mechanism that keeps track of what you're doing and what sites you're visiting. It not only tells us which sites you visited, but for how long and when as well. If a criminal wants to get your credentials from the sites you access, they can do so easily, knowing which sites you have accessed through your browsing history.

3. Cookies

Cookies made up of locally stored files that identify association with certain files are another common browser security threat. Similar to browsing history, it can also track the site you visit and get credentials.

4. Browser Cache

Browser cache consists of storing sections of website pages which makes accessing and loading sites easier and faster, every time you visit. This can also identify the site or portal you have accessed and the content you have gone through. It also saves your location and device detection, making it a risky item as anyone can identify your location and device.

5. Autofill Information

Autofill information can pose a huge threat to your browser. Browsers like Chrome and Firefox store your address information, sometimes your profile information, and other personal information. But are you prepared if you fall into the wrong hands? Isn't it? Well, the criminal is now aware of and privacy to all your personal details.

In our next tutorial, will see Tips and Recommendations on How You Can Protect Yourself from These Threats.

In this blog, we will learn how to use clip-path and also cover inset(), polygon(), circle(), and ellipse() method .

What is CSS Clip-path?

Clip-path is a CSS property that creates a clipping field that sets which part of a component should be shown and which other parts are hidden. The inside of the clipped area is shown, while the outside is hidden.

CSS Property clip-path creates shapes by clipping an element. It clips some regions of an element to create new shapes. The most used method for clip-path is polygon(), circle(), and ellipse().

CSS clip-path() accepted values

These shapes can be created using basic shape functions. The basic shape functions are listed below:-

• inset()
• polygon()
• circle()
• ellipse()

inset()

The inset () function allows you to clip a component from around the coordinate system. The result is a visible rectangle. you can assign values to the margin or padding and border-radius property. but two values are limited in rounded corners. The first value is assigned to the top left corner and the bottom right corner and the second value is assigned to the top right corner and the bottom left corner.

polygon()

To design or clip the rectangular parts of the viewport, we use the polygon () method. Polygon is the most commonly used method in clip-path. We can construct any shape using the polygon method.

Example

circle()

The below image is created by using the clip-path method circle(50% at 50% 50%). In the circle(val1 at var2 var3), val1 is the size of the radius of the circle, and val2 and val3 are the positions of the center. val2 represents the position of the center from the left of the viewport, val2 represents the position of the center from the top of the viewport.

ellipse()

Below image is created using clip-path method ellipse(25% 40% at 50% 50%). An ellipse(val1 val2 at val3 val4) val1 and val2 are the horizontal and vertical distance from the center. val3 and val4 is the position of center.
