Web design is the front–end workings of a webpage. It is the visual way that a site is set up including the font, colors, graphics, layout, etc. Web design also includes the architecture or structure of a website including, but not limited to, what content is on which page. A web designer uses HTML or another language to tell a browser such as Firefox or Explorer how a website should look.
Great web design makes it easy to find the information that you are looking for. Another element of web design is webpage navigation. Navigation is how you get from one webpage to another it is how a site visitor browses around a website. The buttons and bars should be consistent throughout the site and easy to see and easy to use.
In some ways web design can be similar to print design. You need to consider the space available, the content that needs to fit in the space, the layout, colors and fonts. The text should be big enough to read but not overwhelming and the background should not make it difficult to read the text. Graphics, or images and pictures are also part of web design and be used to break up the text and help with spacing. They can also say a lot about your business or organization.
From the moment your site appears on the screen you want it to be pleasing to the eye so that it will make a great first impression and the viewer will want to see more. With new technologies being created all the time the web design possibilities are endless. Need a web design company contact The Net Impact today!
