a website with a good UI but bad UX is so much unpleasant than a website with a bad UI and a good UX.
In a generic situation this may be true, but I would always say it depends. Good and Bad are always a line, not a point. And if the UI/visual design is pleasant and make you happy, you tend to ignore some ux flaws and report that everything is great. Another reason why we should not always believe users, when they say a website or product is great, you should also observe how they use it.
You will probably wonder much more, how I ended here too :D
It is actually intended UX/UI search I am making. I am gonna try to create a UX/UI community and searching for people interested in the topic. If you want you can join here:
