UX glossary

Plain-language definitions of the UX terms that matter, grounded in how Sensei actually measures design quality.

What is a UX audit?A UX audit is a structured evaluation of how well a product or website serves its users — assessing usability, visual design, and adherence to UX best practices to surface what's working, what's broken, and what to fix first.
What is a UX score?A UX score is a single number that summarizes how good a website's user experience is, derived from a consistent set of usability, design, and best-practice criteria so different pages can be compared on the same scale.
What is website usability?Website usability is how easily and efficiently visitors can accomplish what they came to do — find information, make a decision, or complete an action — without confusion or friction.
What makes good UX?Good UX makes the right action feel effortless: it communicates clearly, reduces the work of deciding, and earns trust — so visitors accomplish their goal without friction or doubt.
What is an AI-generated website?An AI-generated website is a site whose code, layout, or copy was produced substantially by an AI tool — v0, Cursor, Lovable, Claude Code, and similar — rather than built by hand or assembled in a traditional drag-and-drop builder. The tool changes how the site gets made; it doesn't guarantee the result is good.
UX checklist for AI-built websitesBefore shipping a site built with v0, Cursor, Lovable, Claude Code, or a similar AI tool, run it through the same checks a UX audit would apply to any page: clarity, hierarchy, and best-practice execution — the categories an AI page builder's default output most often gets wrong.
What is vibe coding?Vibe coding is the practice of building software by describing what you want in natural language and letting an AI tool — v0, Cursor, Lovable, Claude Code, and similar — generate and iterate on the code, rather than writing it by hand, judging progress by whether it works and feels right rather than by reading every line.
