The concept of web design and development has been around for about as long as websites have existed. It used to have a much simpler definition because website creation used to be a much simpler process. When you compare the first website, which came out in 1991, to modern websites, you can really see how much websites have evolved. Today creating and maintaining a website is more complex, and involves an entire ecosystem of roles and skill sets. For designers, it can be difficult to know exactly where you fit into this ecosystem. This article outlines the major aspects of the website creation process, offering a clear picture of your role, the role of others, and the skill sets involved.
ELEMENTS ODF WEB DESIGN:
LAYOUT: The layout is the arrangement of the websites header, navigation menu, footer, content and graphics. The layout depends on the website’s purpose and how a web designer wants the user to interact with the website. For example a photography website would prioritize big beautiful images, while an editorial site would prioritize text and letter spacing.
VISUAL HIERARCHY: A user should be able to access the information they need by glancing at a website. This is where visual hierarchy comes in. Visual hierarchy is the process of determining which aesthetic aspects of the website should stand out using size, color, spacing and more.
COLOR: Color gives a website personality, makes it stand out, and shows the user how to take action. The color palate might be determines by a brand’s existing identity. A consistent color palate helps give order to a website.
ACCESIBILITY: Who can or cannot use a website is dependent on the website accessibility. Making accessibility a priority ensures that all users are able to access and use a website and its functions equally.
GRAPHICS: Graphics are the logos, icons, and images that live on the website. They should compliment the color palate and layout and content.
SPEED: A user’s first impression relies on how long it takes for a website to load. If it takes too long chances are the user won’t stick around.
NAVIGATION: Navigation helps a user get from point A to point B using navigation tools like sight, architecture, menus, and search bars. Simple effective navigation helps users find the information they are looking for quick and easily.
