About Web Design

Web design is a process of conceptualization, planning, modeling, and execution of [electronic media] [content (media and publishing)] delivery via [Internet] in the form of [Markup language] suitable for interpretation by [Web browser] and display as [Graphical user interface] (GUI).

The intent of web design is to create a [web site] -- a collection of electronic files that reside on a [web server]/servers and present content and interactive features/interfaces to the end user in form of [Web page] once requested. Such elements as text, bit-mapped [Image file formats] ([Graphics Interchange Format]s, [JPEG]s, [PNG]s), [Form (web)] can be placed on the page using [HTML]/[XHTML]/[XML] tags. Displaying more complex media ([vector graphics], animations, videos, sounds) requires [Plugin] such as [Adobe Flash], [QuickTime], [Java (Sun)], etc. Plug-ins are also embedded into web page by using HTML/XHTML tags.

Improvements in browsers' compliance with [World Wide Web Consortium] standards prompted a widespread acceptance and usage of XHTML/XML in conjunction with [Cascading Style Sheets] (CSS) to position and manipulate web page elements and objects. Latest standards and proposals aim at leading to browsers' ability to deliver a wide variety of media and accessibility options to the client possibly without employing plug-ins.

Typically web pages are classified as static or dynamic.

[Static web page] don’t change content and layout with every [Hypertext Transfer Protocol] unless a human ([web master]/[programmer]) manually updates the page.

[Dynamic web page] adapt their content and/or appearance depending on end-user’s input/interaction or changes in the computing environment (user, time, [database] modifications, etc.) Content can be changed on the client side (end-user's computer) by using client-side scripting languages ([JavaScript], [JScript], [Actionscript], etc.) to alter [Document Object Model] elements ([DHTML]). Dynamic content is often compiled on the server utilizing server-side scripting languages ([Perl], [PHP], [ASP], [JSP], [ColdFusion], etc.). Both approaches are usually used in complex applications.

With growing specialization in the [information technology] field there is a strong tendency to draw a clear line between web design and [web development].

History [Tim Berners-Lee], the [inventor] of the [World Wide Web], published a website in August 1991.http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4132752.stm Berners-Lee was the first to combine [Internet] communication (which had been carrying [E-mail] and the [Usenet] for decades) with [hypertext] (which had also been around for decades, but limited to browsing information stored on a single computer, such as interactive [CD-ROM] design).

Websites are written in a [markup language] called [HTML], and early versions of HTML were very basic, only giving websites basic structure (headings and paragraphs), and the ability to link using [hypertext]. This was new and different to existing forms of communication - users could easily navigate to other pages by following [hyperlink]s from page to page.

As the Web and web design progressed, the markup language changed to become more complex and flexible, giving the ability to add objects like images and tables to a page. Features like tables, which were originally intended to be used to display tabular information, were soon subverted for use as invisible layout devices. With the advent of [Cascading Style Sheets] (CSS), table-based layout is increasingly regarded as outdated. Database integration technologies such as [server-side scripting] and design standards like CSS further changed and enhanced the way the Web is made.

Web site design A Web site is a collection of information about a particular topic or subject. Designing a website is defined as the arrangement and creation of Web pages that in turn make up a website. A Web page consists of information for which the Web site is developed. A website might be compared to a book, where each page of the book is a web page.

There are many aspects ([design] concerns) in this process, and due to the rapid development of the Internet, new aspects may emerge. For typical commercial Web sites, the basic aspects of design are:

The content: The substance, and information on the site should be relevant to the site and should target the area of the public that the website is concerned with.
The usability: The site should be user-friendly, with the interface and navigation simple and reliable.
The appearance: The graphics and text should include a single style that flows throughout, to show consistency. The style should be professional, appealing and relevant.
The visibility: The site must also be easy to find via most, if not all, major search engines and advertisement media.

A Web site typically consists of text and [images]. The first page of a website is known as the [Home page] or Index. Some websites use what is commonly called a Splash Page. Splash pages might include a welcome message, language/region selection, or disclaimer. Each web page within a Web site is an [HTML] file which has its own [URL]. After each Web page is created, they are typically linked together using a navigation menu composed of [hyperlinks]. Faster browsing speeds have led to shorter attention spans and more demanding online visitors and this has resulted in less use of Splash Pages, particularly where commercial websites are concerned.

Once a Web site is completed, it must be published or uploaded in order to be viewable to the public over the [internet]. This may be done using an [FTP client]. Once published, the [Web master] may use a variety of techniques to increase the traffic, or hits, that the website receives. This may include submitting the Web site to a [search engine] such as [Google] or [Yahoo], exchanging links with other Web sites, creating affiliations with similar Web sites, etc.

Multidisciplinary requirements Web site design crosses [Interdisciplinarity] of [information systems], [information technology] and [communication design]. The website is an [information system] whose components are sometimes classified as [front-end and back-end]. The observable [web content] (e.g [page layout], [user interface], [graphics], [writing], [audio]) is known as the front-end. The back-end comprises the organization and efficiency of the source code, invisible scripted functions, and the server-side components that process the output from the front-end. Depending on the size of a Web development project, it may be carried out by a multi-skilled individual (sometimes called a [web master]), or a [project manager] may oversee [collaborative design] between group members with specialized skills.

Issues As in most collaborative designs, there are conflicts between differing goals and methods of web site designs. These are a few of the ongoing ones.

Lack of collaboration in design In the early stages of the web, there wasn't as much collaboration between web designs and larger [advertising campaign]s, [commerce]s, [social network]ing, [intranet]s and [extranet]s as there is now. Web pages were mainly static [online] [brochure]s disconnected from the larger projects.

Many web pages are still disconnected from larger projects. Special design considerations are necessary for use within these larger projects. These design considerations are often overlooked, especially in cases where there is a lack of [leadership], understanding or concern for the larger project to facilitate [collaboration]. This often results in unhealthy [competition] or [compromise] between departments, and less than optimal use of web pages.

Liquid versus fixed layouts On the web the designer has no control over several factors, including the size of the browser window, the [web browser] used, the input devices used ([mouse], [touch screen], [voice command], [text], [cell phone] number pad, etc.) and the size and characteristics of available fonts.

Some designers choose to control the appearance of the elements on the screen by using specific width designations. This control may be achieved through the use of a [HTML] table-based design, or through the use of CSS. Whenever the text, images, and layout of a design do not change as the browser changes, this is referred to as a fixed width design. Proponents of fixed width design prefer the control over the look and feel of the site and the precision placement of objects on the page. Other designers choose a liquid design. A liquid design is one, like [Wikipedia], where the design moves to flow content into the whole screen, or a portion of the screen, no matter what the size of the browser window. Proponents of liquid design prefer to use all the screen space available. Liquid design can be achieved through the use of [CSS], by avoiding styling the page altogether, or by using HTML tables set to a percentage of the page. Both liquid and fixed design developers must make decisions about how the design should [degrade] on higher and lower screen resolutions. Sometimes the [pragmatic] choice is made to flow the design between a minimum and a maximum width. This allows the designer to avoid coding for the browser choices making up the [long tail], while still using all available screen space.

Similar to liquid layout is the optional fit to window feature with Adobe Flash content. This is a fixed layout that optimally scales the content of the page without changing the arrangement or text wrapping when the browser is resized.

Flash [Adobe Flash] (formerly [Macromedia] Flash) is a proprietary, robust graphics animation/application development program used to create and deliver dynamic content, media (such as sound and video), and interactive applications over the web via the browser.

Flash is not a standard produced by a vendor-neutral standards organization like most of the core protocols and formats on the Internet. Flash is much more restrictive than the [Open format] HTML format, though, requiring a [Proprietary software] plugin to be seen, and it does not integrate with most [web browser] UI features like the "Back" button unless a hyperlink is programmed to link a new html page from the Flash file, in which case the animation of the previous page would reset. However, those restrictions may be irrelevant depending on the goals of the web site design.

According to a study http://www.macromedia.com/software/player_census/npd/ study, 98% of US Web users have the Flash Player installed http://www.macromedia.com/software/player_census/flashplayer/, with 45%-56%http://www.macromedia.com/software/player_census/flashplayer/version_penetration.html (depending on region) having the latest version. Numbers vary depending on the detection scheme and research demographicshttp://www.greatinteractions.com/stats.htm.

Many graphic artists use Flash because it gives them exact control over every part of the design, and anything can be animated and generally "jazzed up". Some application designers enjoy Flash because it lets them create applications that don't have to be refreshed or go to a new web page every time an action occurs. Flash can use embedded fonts instead of the standard fonts installed on most computers. There are many sites which forgo HTML entirely for Flash. Other sites may use Flash content combined with HTML as conservatively as gifs or jpegs would be used, but with smaller vector file sizes and the option of faster loading animations. Flash may also be used to protect content from unauthorized duplication or searching.

Flash detractors claim that Flash websites tend to be poorly designed, and often use confusing and non-standard user-interfaces. Up until recently, search engines have been unable to index Flash objects, which has prevented sites from having their contents easily found. This is because many search engine crawlers rely on text to index websites. It is possible to specify alternate content to be displayed for browsers that do not support Flash. Using alternate content also helps [search engine]s to understand the page, and can result in much better visibility for the page. However, the vast majority of Flash websites are not disability accessible (for screen readers, for example) or [Section 508] compliant. An additional issue is that sites which commonly use alternate content for search engines to their human visitors are usually judged to be spamming search engines and are automatically banned.

The most recent incarnation of Flash's scripting language (called "[ActionScript]", which is an [ECMA] language similar to [JavaScript]) incorporates long-awaited usability features, such as respecting the browser's font size and allowing blind users to use [screen readers]. Actionscript 2.0 is an [Object-oriented programming] language, allowing the use of CSS, [XML], and the design of class-based web applications.

CSS versus tables Back when [Netscape Navigator] 4 dominated the browser market, the popular solution available for designers to lay out a Web page was by using tables. Often even simple designs for a page would require dozens of tables nested in each other. Many [web templates] in [Adobe Dreamweaver] and other [WYSIWYG] editors still use this technique today. Navigator 4 didn't support [Cascading Style Sheets] to a useful degree, so it simply wasn't used.

After the [browser wars] subsided, and the dominant browsers such as [Internet Explorer] became more W3C compliant, designers started turning toward CSS as an alternate means of laying out their pages. CSS proponents say that tables should be used only for tabular data, not for layout. Using CSS instead of tables also returns HTML to a [semantic markup], which helps [bots] and search engines understand what's going on in a web page. All modern [Web browser]s support CSS with different degrees of [Comparison of layout engines (CSS)].

However, one of the main points against CSS is that by relying on it exclusively, control is essentially relinquished as each browser has its own quirks which result in a slightly different page display. This is especially a problem as not every browser supports the same subset of CSS rules. For designers who are used to table-based layouts, developing Web sites in CSS often becomes a matter of trying to replicate what can be done with tables, leading some to find CSS design rather cumbersome due to lack of familiarity. For example, at one time it was rather difficult to produce certain design elements, such as vertical positioning, and full-length footers in a design using absolute positions. With the abundance of CSS resources available online today, though, designing with reasonable adherence to standards involves little more than applying CSS 2.1 or CSS 3 to properly structured markup.

These days most modern browsers have solved most of these quirks in CSS rendering and this has made many different CSS layouts possible. However, some people continue to use old browsers, and designers need to keep this in mind, and allow for graceful degrading of pages in older browsers. Most notable among these old browsers are Internet Explorer 5 and 5.5, which, according to some web designers, are becoming the new Netscape Navigator 4 — a block that holds the World Wide Web back from converting to CSS design. However, the W3 Consortium has made CSS in combination with XHTML the standard for web design.

How it Looks vs. How it Works Some [web developer]s have a [graphic arts] background and may pay more attention to how a page looks than considering other issues such as how visitors are going to find the page via a search engine. Some might rely more on [advertising] than search engines to attract visitors to the site. On the other side of the issue, [search engine optimization] [consultants] (SEOs) obsess about how well a web site works technically and textually: how much traffic it generates via search engines, and how many sales it makes, assuming looks don't contribute to the sales. As a result, the designers and SEOs often end up in disputes where the designer wants more 'pretty' graphics, and the SEO wants lots of 'ugly' [keyword (internet search)]-rich text, [bullet list]s, and [text link]s. One could argue that this is a false dichotomy due to the possibility that a web design may integrate the two disciplines for a [collaborative] and [synergy] solution. Because some graphics serve [communication] purposes in addition to [aesthetic]s, how well a site works may depend on the [graphic design]er's [visual communication] ideas as well as the SEO considerations.

Another problem when using lots of graphics on a page is that download times can be greatly lengthened, often irritating the user. This has become less of a problem as the internet has evolved with [high-speed internet] and the use of [vector graphics]. This is an engineering challenge to increase [bandwidth] in addition to an artistic challenge to minimize graphics and graphic file sizes. This is an on-going challenge as increased bandwidth invites increased amounts of content.

Accessible Web design Accessible Web design is the art of creating webpages that are accessible to everyone, using any device. It is especially important so that people with [disabilities] - whether due to accident, disease or old age - can access the information in Web pages and be able to navigate through the website.

To be accessible, web pages and sites must conform to certain accessibility principles. These can be grouped into the following main areas:

use [semantic markup] that provides a meaningful structure to the document (i.e. web page)
Semantic markup also refers to semantically organizing the web page structure and publishing web services description accordingly so that they can be recognized by other web services on different web pages. Standards for semantic web are set by IEEE
use a valid [markup language] that conforms to a published [Document Type Definition] or [XML schema]
provide text equivalents for any non-text components (e.g. images, multimedia)
use [hyperlinks] that make sense when read out of context. (e.g. avoid "Click Here.")
don't use [Framing (World Wide Web)]
use [Cascading Style Sheets] [Tableless web design] for layout.
author the page so that when the source code is read line-by-line by [user agents] (such as a [screen reader]s) it remains intelligible. (Using tables for design will often result in information that is not.)

However, W3C permits an exception where tables for layout either make sense when linearized or an alternate version (perhaps linearized) is made available.

Website Planning Before creating and uploading a website, it is important to take the time to plan exactly what is needed in the website. Thoroughly considering the audience or target market, as well as defining the purpose and deciding what content will be developed are extremely important.

Purpose It is essential to define the purpose of the website as one of the first steps in the planning process. A purpose statement should show focus based on what the website will accomplish and what the users will get from it. A clearly defined purpose will help the rest of the planning process as the audience is identified and the content of the site is developed. Setting short and long term goals for the website will help make the purpose clear and plan for the future when expansion, modification, and improvement will take place. Also, goal-setting practices and measurable objectives should be identified to track the progress of the site and determine success.

Audience Defining the audience is a key step in the website planning process. The audience is the group of people who are expected to visit your website – the market being targeted. These people will be viewing the website for a specific reason and it is important to know exactly what they are looking for when they visit the site. A clearly defined purpose or goal of the site as well as an understanding of what visitors want to do/feel when they come to your site will help to identify the target audience. Upon considering who is most likely to need/use the content, a list of characteristics common to the users such as:

Audience Characteristics
Information Preferences
Computer Specifications
Web Experience

Taking into account the characteristics of the audience will allow an effective website to be created that will deliver the desired content to the target audience.

Content Content evaluation and organization requires that the purpose of the website be clearly defined. Collecting a list of the necessary content then organizing it according to the audience's needs is a key step in website planning. In the process of gathering the content being offered, any items that do not support the defined purpose or accomplish target audience objectives should be removed. It is a good idea to test the content and purpose on a focus group and compare the offerings to the audience needs. The next step is to organize the basic information structure by categorizing the content and organizing it according to user needs. Each category should be named with a concise and descriptive title that will become a link on the website. Planning for the site's content ensures that the wants/needs of the target audience and the purpose of the site will be fulfilled.

Compatibility and restrictions Because of the [Usage share of web browsers] (depending on your target market), the compatibility of your website with the viewers is restricted. For instance, a website that is designed for the majority of websurfers will be limited to the use of [W3C Markup Validation Service] [XHTML] 1.0 Strict or older, [Cascading Style Sheets] Level 1, and 1024x768 [display resolution]. This is because [Internet Explorer] is not fully [W3C] [Web standards] with the [modularity] of XHTML 1.1 and the majority of CSS beyond 1. A target market of more alternative browser (e.g. [Firefox] and [Opera (Internet suite)]) users allow for more W3C compliance and thus a greater range of options for a web designer.

Another restriction on webpage design is the use of different [Image file formats]. The majority of users can support [Graphics Interchange Format], [JPEG], and [PNG] (with restrictions). Again [Internet Explorer] is the major restriction here, not fully supporting PNG's advanced transparency features, resulting in the GIF format still being the most widely used graphic file format for transparent images.

Many website incompatibilities go unnoticed by the designer and unreported by the users. The only way to be certain a website will work on a particular platform is to test it on that platform.

Planning documentation Documentation is used to visually plan the site while taking into account the purpose, audience and content, to design the site structure, content and interactions that are most suitable for the website. Documentation may be considered a prototype for the website – a model which allows the website layout to be reviewed, resulting in suggested changes, improvements and/or enhancements. This review process increases the likelihood of success of the website.

First, the content is categorized and the information structure is formulated. The information structure is used to develop a document or visual diagram called a [site map]. This creates a visual of how the web pages will be interconnected, which helps in deciding what content will be placed on what pages. There are three main ways of diagramming the website structure:

Linear Website Diagrams will allow the users to move in a predetermined sequence;
Hierarchical structures (of Tree Design Website Diagrams) provide more than one path for users to take to their destination;
Branch Design Website Diagrams allow for many interconnections between web pages such as hyperlinks within sentences.

In addition to planning the structure, the layout and interface of individual pages may be planned using a [storyboard]. In the process of storyboarding, a record is made of the description, purpose and title of each page in the site, and they are linked together according to the most effective and logical diagram type. Depending on the number of pages required for the website, documentation methods may include using pieces of paper and drawing lines to connect them, or creating the storyboard using computer software.

Some or all of the individual pages may be designed in greater detail as a [website wireframe], a mock up model or [comprehensive layout] of what the page will actually look like. This is often done in a graphic program, or layout design program. The wireframe has no working functionality, only planning.

Q) What would be your advice for someone who wants to get into web design? What programs to look at, how to get work etc.

A) 1. Start with improving your knowledge of HTML - www.echoecho.com is a great place to start. 2. Get experience using Dreamweaver and Photoshop to begin learning about how a site works and the importance of images. 3. Forget the complex programming and research some of the license free content management systems available for you to use such as Xoops, Joomla and Wordpress. These negate the need for programming skills enabling you to focus on the designs. 4. Learn to use Dreamweaver to produce templates for your chosen system. 5. Launch dozens professional complex sites with your own stunning designs whilst other designers insist on getting to know PHP, .net and other languages! 6. Use your portfolio to get leads in to potential customers by sending them letters, emails and cold calling. Target businesses with poor websites.

Q) i have designed the entire layout for my website in photoshop. I saved in html and opened it up in dreamweaver. I want to be able to type or put images on top of my layout. O yeh, i sliced up the layout in photoshop. I deleted the slice in dreamweaver and then opened up that slice as a bkground to allow me to add text etc on top. but then it distorts the entire layout!! i done this b4 n it works fine. but sumtimes it distorts! any1 help on this or suggest sumthing else better!!!

A) insert your graphics in to a table in dreamweaver, this will stop them from distorting

Web Design!!!!!?

Q) Does Web design is a main factor to attract customers to your website? i have a website (www.gordoniihoodia.net) and i think to give this website a better and an attractive look so please suggest me is there any need to do this or run with the current layout? bcoz ialready talked to SEoptimizerZ, thay are the good web design and SEO services provider company in USA http://www.seoptimizerz.com and they are asking for $3000 for the complete new design with all customize products intro and adds!

A) Sounds like a fair price, what more do you expect for £1,500 / $3,000 ?. That said, It would all depend on what the site currently makes in profit, the layout change might not make much difference, but if they can improve the traffic and search engine page rank then you might increase profit enough to justify it.

Q) I've been in web design for about a year now. Last month I started my own company: Incline Site Design: http://www.InclineSiteDesign.com . But after about a month, business has not been very good. I have the best prices around, and my design is good. but people arent interested, I advertised on craig's list, submitted to almost all of the search engines. But Still not a lot of business. What can I do? If your interested in my services please Email me at: Info@InclineSiteDesign.com oh, believe me, Mike R. I've been very proactive, ive done almost everything you suggested, but I dont like starbucks. :-) oh, believe me, Mike R. I've been very proactive, ive done almost everything you suggested, but I dont like starbucks. :-) Tenar, What "unclosed quotation marks and unclosed tags." are you talking about, I would like to know so I can fix it. When you say depricated tags you mean the <center> tag right, I just fixed that. Thank you for your input, I'm always trying to increase my knowledge. Thank you Tenar, If you would like you can visit my site in a few hours and it should all be fixed. Thanks again.

A) Why would I hire you when you have only 1 page indexed in google (even if I could find you though google, which is unlikely with only 1 page indexed.) http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=inurl%3Awww.inclinesitedesign.com&btnG=Google+Search&meta= and only 1 page in yahoo http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=inurl%3Awww.inclinesitedesign.com&ei=UTF-8&fr=FP-tab-web-t&x=wrt Your page has unclosed quotation marks and unclosed tags. You are also using depricated tags through out the content. The navigation is all images and not real links. You link the words "click here" making the page less scanable. The page has 3 or 4 different fonts. You should have 2 at most. Also it's not just a low price that gets you business, people expect to get what they pay for. ------------- edit ------------ missing closing quotation mark on name attribute the Meta content tag: <META name=" content="Proffesional yet cheap ... There is a div tag with no closing ">" <div align="center" Nobodoy Beats our Prices. Here's Proof. ... There are span tags left open with no Least Expensive Package $35 This is not nested properly, and and are depericated Incline Site Design it's better to use CSS for this but if you want to use tags it should be Incline Site Design Your biggest problem is that Google can not search you. Since you only have 1 page indexed it suggests that the spiders are having trouble. prehaps change the nav bar into something that uses <a href=""> or use list or something so your pages can be indexed. Here's a good site with lots of CSS nav bars http://css.maxdesign.com.au/listamatic/ or make sure that the redirect is properly set up. Try a search engine simulator to make sure your links are working http://www.webconfs.com/search-engine-spider-simulator.php Find some SEO tools to make sure you have keywords in the right places. http://www.rankquest.com/

A) Yes I successfully started a career in web design and am currently working for a phoenix web site design company http://www.websiteaz.com My best advise to you is to start learning the industry standard tools such as Macromedia DreamWeaver, Adobe Photoshop, and Macromedia Flash. You can take several courses but real world experience is the best. You can also offer to be a free part time intern for a local web company in exchange for learning some of the necessary skills.

A) by change do you mean you want to start a new paragraph? If that is the case, with html just add the paragraph tag where you want to start a new paragraph and end it with the If you want to create a new paragraph and want it to align either left, right, or center use add the align formatting to the tag. It should look something like this: Your paragraph here (Note you can replace left with right or center depending on how you want it aligned) Also, if you are using the paragraph as something that is quoted from some source, you can use the <blockquote> </blockquote> tags, which will indent your paragraph from the left and right margins. I hardly ever use it, but it might be something you would want to look at. If you are doing web design, if you don't know it already, I would recommend learning CSS. It is both a time saver AND much more user/browser friendly than standard HTML. Hope this helps.

Q) Hi, I'm want to learn web design but dont have the money to do a course right now. What web site can i go onto to start learning how to design web sites? What would be the best course to learn web design? Many Thanks Hatty

A) Go to: http://www.how-to-build-websites.com/ Use the navigation at left to view lessons. I would recommend getting an HTML editor, if you don't already have one, so you don't have to do the coding yourself.

Web Design?

A) Absolutely, that's exactly how I do ASP.NET sites: Get the design together in DreamWeaver, do the code in VS. If you are going to use master pages / themes, there will be some reconstruction of the proper files between the two programs, but it works fine.
