Website Designing: In a nutshell

Website development is something which requires profound knowledge in programming

skills. As a whole it’s a very broad term. Initially web design was considered as a domain

which mainly concentrated on graphic designing or in other words the layout of the

website, its content, including standardized code and proprietary software, user

experience design, and SEO.

However all these features of web design are now included in the broad spectrum of web

development. And so both the terms: web design and web development are now used

synonymously. Explained here are the few main topics related to web designing.

Static Web Design:

o This type of websites normally displays the same information to all the

users. A classic website with five pages, a brochure website, or the

websites showing pre-defined static information to the visitors come under

this category.

Dynamic Web Design:

o Websites which are dynamic are designed using active programming

language instead of plain, static HTML.

o These websites change and customize automatically.

Flash Web Designing:

o Websites designed

with flash content are

in huge demand

today. This is because

these types of

websites are very

attractive and usage

of eye catching flash

effects attracts

visitors.

E-Commerce Web Designing:

o Websites which are covered under this domain are those in which

shopping-cart integration is done.

o Product database can be made in a dynamic way using e-commerce

designing.

Apart from these different designing of website the broad term of website designing also

includes content optimization, SEO. The content in the website is the heart because if

visitors don’t like the content then bounce rate would increase. This is not good for any

website. Hence optimization of the content of the website is an important part of web

designing.

After the website is ready the work of SEO is crucial. The increase in organic traffic to

the client’s website and good page ranking are important for marketing of website on a

virtual platform.

Web designers have been using many different tools for development of a particularly

good website. The usage of tools and development kits depend upon the type of

assignment the particular designer is working on. Like if the website is graphic centric

then the graphic designer must be using raster graphic packages for creating web

formatted imagery or design prototypes. These tools are upgraded as soon as anything

new turns up in the designing market.

Few things all designers should always take care include:

Typography: Most browsers recognize a specific number of safe fonts, and these

are the fonts which designers should mainly use in order to avoid complications.

Quality of code: There are some standards to which the designers should adhere

while designing the website.

Two primary components while developing a website are a web designer and a web

developer. These two work closely in which a designer's main work is to make the

website graphically perfect, with good layout.

For all these web designing activities many of the firms are offering their services today.

Web design in India has gained tremendous impetus in last few years. The outsourcing is

concentrated in India because of highly skilled and comparatively cheap website

designers.
