What is web design ? It seems that just about anybody can create a website these days. So, what separates a professional web designer from the kid next door that made his own website? Technology has made it very simple to create a website quickly and easily, but creating a website does not necessarily make someone a website designer, says Jimmy Thakkar (Web designer mumbai). Web designing is the process of planning out the layout, color scheme and content of a website. The content of a website consists of the text, graphics, multimedia and dynamic or interactive features. Proper web design utilizes a single style that flows through all of the web pages and provides a consistent look and feel throughout the design. The appearance of the website should allow for easy navigation and readability of the text and information provided on the website. Web design can be done, and is often done, with very little knowledge of web languages. This is accomplished by a web designer through the use of resell rights templates and WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) text editors. More extensive, customized and professional web design is created by writing or customizing web languages. The most basic web language is HTML. It is often combined with CSS, which is a way to style multiple web pages with very little programming required. Graphics can add a lot to the overall appearance of a website if used properly. For instance, fonts that are not standard on most computers should only be used if they are part of a graphic. Graphics can also help make information stand out and help direct a visitors’ eye where you want it to go. Overuse of graphics can lead to a cluttered website that is difficult to read and difficult to look at. This will cause visitors to leave a website before getting any relevant information from it. Graphic placement and design should be well thought out and used with caution. Multimedia content has sprouted into a whole new arena for web design. The use of sound and video on websites has increased drastically. However, like graphics, multimedia content should be used with caution by web designers. Many people do not have the proper plugins to play multimedia content. If you design your website around multimedia components, the entire design may be lost on a visitor without the proper plugin. Dynamic and interactive content ranges from Ecommerce to contact forms and even Flash animations. Flash animations and videos can be used as simple multimedia components or as complex web applications. Ecommerce is simple the selling of products or services online. Contact forms, application forms and surveys are all types of interactive components for web design. Interactivity between visitors and your website can make for a more educational, informative and enjoyable experience for your visitors. However, only add dynamic and interactive components that will benefit your visitors in some way. Web design truly is a complex art form that combines web languages, graphics, multimedia, dynamic and interactive components with colors and text to create a layout that is both pleasing to the eye and helpful to visitors.
