The Idea of Web Designing - The Fundamental Web Designing Principles

Normal 0 Does it shock you if I said that there was no web design concept when
Internet came into being only 17 years ago? Yes, the browsers were given
the capability to format only text matter for it wasn’t foreseen as being
capable of hijacking the very idea for which it was created, in such
proportions unimaginable in that era. Yes, I am speaking truth and
ironically enough, even to this date, good web design principles call for
checking each new web page using “text only” browsers.

So what is The Modern Web Design Concept Then?
I could easily say that modern web design process is both an art and
science of putting together a collection of web pages in either or both of
static and dynamic format but I would like to liken it to a whole span of
business process involving lots of processes and web specific elements.

Of course, in the very basic tenet, we mean web design to be a process of
creating functional, hypertext marked and eye-pleasing pages for whatever
reason, but it is here that lies the real job which starts from
conceptualizing a website till end result.

Web Design Begins With Conceptualization
With objectives and implementation being central to any good web design
process, the aspect of aesthetics plays its role in web presentation
process. Let me simplify this for you. Any good web design process begins
with planning the whole architecture of the website after lots of
deliberation ahead of designing even a single page. Since the whole idea of
having a website is mainly commercial or to provide information to its
millions of users, functionality scores high to its target audience.

It doesn’t mean that web design process can ignore design aspects such as
layouts, color schemes etc. In fact, it is the next major thing that tells
visitors what your website provides & stands for by creating specific
impressions in their minds about you and your services. In short, a well
designed website holds your prospective customer on the website by casting
the first impression and by creating interest about your product or
services.

It is not enough to have the website built to please the customers alone.
The design principles must conform to the basic tenets of web design as
recommended by W3C and Search Engine Optimization principles if you are
targeting your website towards your customers.

What is more, web design must facilitate both producer and consumer. The
design needs continuous refining and tweaking to keep up with the pace with
which Internet is growing otherwise your site will be looking old and
obsolete.

What is My Final Word on Web Design Process
Web Designing takes a combination of technical and creative skills and none
of them is less significant than the other. It is not simply something
about designing layouts often ending up with cluttered pages carrying heaps
of links, a flash movie clip only to repent later. Indeed web design has
more to it than meets the eye.
