Web Design - The Impotance of Getting it Right

May 27, 2010 - PRLog -- Web design entails the use of multiple disciplines for instance graphic design, photography, typography, animations, authoring, and interaction design, among a few others.

Web designing is much more similar to traditional print publishing than we may think where the website is the book and the web pages are the pages in the book. However, in some instances web design is more different in that it uses a digital-coded and technologically displayed framework to create and maintain an area where information is distributed using various formats. Therefore, it can be said that web design is the most complex yet sophisticated method supporting worldwide communication.
The main aim of web design is the creation of websites. Web sites are “a collection of electronic documents and applications residing on web servers”. Websites are made up of one or more web pages where each web page contains text and images in the GIF and JPEG formats. These images are placed on the page using special tags (HTML, XHTML, and XML). However, media that are more intricate are added to a page via plug-ins such as Quick Time, Java and Adobe Flash.

The basic aspects of web design for some of the typical websites are the content, usability, appearance and visibility. The content of a website refers to the information (text, images, etc) on the site that is relevant and has a specific target audience. A website must be user-friendly, where there are simple and reliable interfaces and navigational tools. The text and graphics on a website must be consistent and the style used should be professional and relevant to its purpose. When created and published to the internet, websites must be able to be found by most search engines and the various advertising media.  

Persons can create their own websites using one of the various web design software available on the internet. These software create websites using either one of the two methods, HTML and CSS. HTML is the acronym for hypertext markup language. Of the two, HTML is the more predominantly used as the markup language for web pages. It denotes the structural semantics for specific texts thus creating structured documents. In addition, this language allows for the embedding of images and objects in web pages and the creation of interactive forms. HTML is written in the form of HTML elements, which consists of tags surrounded by angle brackets.

On the other hand, CSS, which stands for cascading style sheets, is the style sheet language describing the appearance and formatting structure of a document written in markup language.  It is designed primarily for separating the contents of a document (layout, fonts, and colors) from a document presentation. As a result, there is more improvement in the accessibility of the contents, a reduction in the complexity and repetition in the structural contents, more flexibility in the specification of presentations, among a few others.   http://wpseoservices.com/what-we-do
