Content which refers to the form and organization of a site's content (ii)
Visuals which refers to the screen layout used in a site can be created

interactive elements of a site, particularly those built using programming
techniques such as HTML of CCF. (iv) Delivery which refers to the speed and
reliability of a site's delivery over the Internet or an internal corporate
network. These are related to the server hardware/software used and to the
network architecture employed. (v) The reason of purpose the site exists,
often related to an economic issue, is the most important part of Web design
and should be considered in all decisions involving the other areas. It also

| 10:10 Design Web Design
http://www.1010design.com/webpub/webdesign.shtml |
The contents of the site are that he proper balance of
text, photos and graphics on a web site is different than that of
traditional print publications. A site must be easy to navigate and respond
quickly between pages or your viewers will give up and go somewhere else. A
site should be viewed properly. All the pictures and graphics need to show
in the right places and the text should be clear and easy to read. A web
site is not stored like pages torn from a magazine and placed in a file
folder. Rather, the text, pictures and graphics are each stored using
different methods and then a dialog (program) ties them all together. Also,
people access the Internet and display web sites in many different ways.
Each of these access types uses it's own method to interpret the dialog that
explains how your web site should look. These different interpretations lead
to variations in how you web site is displayed. We develop web sites to look
right and respond properly on displays that are most often used by the
viewers you are trying to reach. There is also more information on what web
publishing is, what a web host is, what web site promotion is, and above all
what a web address is.
The site was useful because I learnt that for one to design a web page the
following have to be put under consideration:- You must have an idea of how
you want your page to look, and how to effectively present those ideas in
web language, you must have some knowledge on how to balance text, photos
and graphics on web sites, text, photos and that graphics are also stored
differently after which a program ties them together. I also learnt that web
site development is Organizing information for logical viewing |
| web design
http://www.mainshipsystems.com/Design.asp |
It tells us that web design is about what you see, and
some web sites involve programming and database access all of which run
behind the scene and this is web development. It also tells us that a web
sites appearance is determined by color scheme and the site layout, images
are also found on websites today, sound and video can also be added to web
sites, the content is essential when designing a web site, cross browser
compatibility is essential and main ship systems are also vital
The site is useful because it enables on learn the techniques required when
designing a good website because design is a reflection of your business.
Just as you want your business correspondence to show your best side, you
certainly want to have your "best foot forward" for an internet audience |
| web design tips and techniques
http://www.fdi.vt.edu/spring/2003/webdesign/webdesignhandout.pdf
|
It defines web design as the process of collecting and
organizing information for presentation on the web, and informs us that
pages and images are part of web design, the site advices one to visit other
web sites to get ideas from, and also visit web pages with similar
disciplines and goals.
I have learnt that the first steps when designing a page are that you have
to identify your target audience, have a statement of purpose, know your
mail objectives when designing a web site and have a concise outline of the
information that your site will contain. |
| web design
http://www.hardweb.com.au/needtoknow.html |
It defines web design as graphic design of computer
monitors. Has dimensions but basic purpose is to transmit information to end
users. It is about designing the layout of the page and the information
contained in it so that it is CLEAR what the web page's purpose is. The site
also gives a brief design history.
The site is useful because it emphasizes that when designing a web site you
must hat simple layouts that don't confuse, consideration for downloading
time is paramount, there should be a hierarchy of information that leads the
user to where you want them to go and always make it EASY to navigate the
website not DIFFICULT . |
