User experience (UX) has become a crucial factor in software development, as highlighted by Jaqueline Maraschin, marketing director for Latin America at Cyncly. In an era where user attention is increasingly scarce, with just 10-20 seconds dedicated to the initial assessment of a web page, according to research by the Nielsen Norman Group, the importance of an efficient and attractive UX is more evident than ever
