Web design is the process of conceptualization, planning, modeling and implementation of web pages and, by extension, applications and Web services. Creating a website is not just about creating web pages. It is a planned and collective task. So designing a website is of utmost concern. This step involves a first place, what are the overall objectives of the site and what could be the mark audience and then focuses on the structure, ergonomics and navigation.
Stages
The main of Web Designing is its analysis. In the analysis stage, the developer must engage with the organization where you work and determine precisely the desired effect through the Web site. This stage may require interviews and reviews of Web sites before and / or related to the subject. In accordance with the needs and available resources formed the task force and determines the strategy.
The second stage involves the creation of the website and its graphical elements. Creating Web Pages files are to create HTML. There are two ways to create this type of file:
Write HTML files “by hand”, i.e., enter the HTML code in a text file through a simple text editor. While this solution is the most tedious (despite the relative simplicity of HTML) is still the best way to learn to make a website, understand its operation and, therefore, to create clean code and optimal.
Use a WYSIWYG HTML editor. This is the software program that lets people to create web pages visually by putting objects and controls on the page in a systematic and required way. Then the software program keeps care of generating the HTML automatically. It is a very sensible and useful method to create web pages because it avoids most of the difficulty of the process. Nevertheless, this system can be rather troublesome if the editor does not enable the user to design the page as wanted.
You require command on HTML to control more advanced editing possibilities of the software program that enable users to manually adjust style qualities.
Moreover, a welcome site must include pictures and software should also be used for putting images on the site of GIF, JPG etc. format.
Basics
A proper web design involves knowing how they should use each of the elements allowed in HTML, that is, make proper use of this language within the standards set by the W3C, and with regard to the semantic web. It is because the permissibility of some web browsers like Internet Explorer, this original premise has been lost. For example, this browser cannot be necessary to close the tags marking, uses proprietary code, and so on. This prevents the web document to be universal and independent of the medium used to be shown.
The Semantic Web, on the other hand, advocates a logical use of the elements in the meaning for which they were conceived. For example, use the element (P) to mark paragraphs, and (TABLE) for tabular data (never to have visually different elements of the document). In the final analysis, this has meant a revolution in web design as completely separate bid document content visualization. This HTML document is used only to contain, organize and structure information and CSS style sheets to indicate such information as will be shown in different media (e.g., a screen of computer, mobile phone, printed in paper, read by a speech synthesizer, etc.).. Logically, this approach greatly benefits the accessibility of the document. There are also dynamic pages, which allow interaction between Web and visitors by providing tools such as search engines, chat, forums, systems, surveys, etc. and have a Control Panel Content Management. This allows you to create, update and manage an unlimited amount of content within the same.
