Web Design is a field that has been around for only thirty years, but has evolved drastically throughout that time. HTML has changed much, and new scripting languages such as CSS and JavaScript to name two, have arisen to help tackle the challenge that web development can be. From basic text pages to fully interactive sites, the world of web development has made significant leaps consistently throughout its short lifetime.
In the 1960’s a concept for HTML was created by Ted Nelson, a Harvard graduate. His work was never used until the 1980’s, when the internet was introduced because of a lack of need for it. At the time, HTML was the only option for web development, and there was not much freedom when it came to design. Sites were basic,

No longer are plugins a necessity to add multimedia content.
Another large part of today’s web design scene is mobile web development. With so many people owning phones and other mobile devices, mobile development has become a necessity in a world of technology that is becoming increasingly smaller and more portable. Statistics show that over twenty percent of Google searches are done on a mobile device, and that twenty-five percent of internet users access the internet exclusively from their mobile devices. The need for mobile web development is growing fast. Mobile web design focuses on simplification. It is designed to be simpler on a smaller screen, making navigation easier. A drawback is that using Flash is not possible currently, which was a game changer in early web design.
The future of web design is not clear. Many people make the judgment of what it is going to be. Some people predict that responsive, all on one page websites that flow easily through all browser types, because of the rise in mobile users. Other people will say that the future is programs such as Adobe Reflow and Macaw, which allow web designers to “draw” websites, which creates code to suit the site as it is drawn. Others say that fast, responsive sites are the future, to level out loading speeds across all devices. They could all be right. One thing is for certain though, the traditional form of creating sites will be taken over
The first versions of WWW ((what most people call “The Web”))) provide means for people around the world to exchange information between, to work together, to communicate, and to share documentation more efficiently. Tim Berners-Lee wrote the first browser (called WWW browser) and Web server in March 1991, allowing hypertext documents to be stored, fetched, and viewed. The Web can be seen as a tremendous document store where these documents (web pages) can be fetched by typing their address into a web browser. To do that, two im- portant techniques have been developed. First, a language called Hypertext Markup Languag (HTML) tells the computers how to display documents which contain texts, photos, sounds, visuals (video), and animation, interactive
At Swagger Distribution, the interest in designing a website is a wonderful aspect to have in the society we live in today. Key concepts that are important when it comes to designing a website is necessary to know before getting started. First knowing what language you want the website designed in, can be beneficial based on what the company wants to do. HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is a language that creates the website. Hypertext allows someone to move around the web. When clicking on a text in an HTML website is called a Hyperlink. Markup is what the tags do to the text inside of the HTML website. Language, of course, is a language, HTML is the language that has the code and syntax, just like any other language. CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is used for configuring the language on the webpage. When
Web Design is almost like an art. It is the design of information and services over the Internet. Luckily for businesses and customers the information and services provided are in done so through the World Wide Web (WWW). As I mentioned earlier Web design is a form of art, meaning that art and organization are needed to form customized Web pages to fit a particular business’ needs. Services for Web design can be accomplished in a variety of ways: professionally through a Web designer, created through hypertext mark-up language, JavaScript, Dreamweaver, and Microsoft FrontPage as well as other “What you see is what you get” {WYSIWYG) editors or languages.
Web developers are responsible for designing, coding and modifying websites, from layout to function and according to a client's specifications. They need create appealing sites that feature user-friendly design and easy to navigate through.
Web design is an experience that is related high volume and colorful websites implementation that is done with proper pages and navigations. A web experience such as development in Cake, PHP and Magento is a tool which gets used and always leads to a more acceptable and consistent use that gets consulted online.
Throughout the last decade web developers have been experiencing changes in Web Standards as well as a different markup language called HTML5. HTML5 a markup language used for structuring and presenting content for the World Wide Web. HTML, or Hyper Text Markup Language forms the backbone of almost every site on the internet. The most important technologies right now are HTML and devices evolving HTML platforms (Anglin). Although HTML5 is the most recent updated markup language today, it has many advantages and disadvantages when it comes to web development. HTML4, the last major iteration of the language, debuted in 1997 and has been subsequently poked and prodded so that it can handle the demands of the modern Web (O’Brien). In order for web developers to fully understand the meaning behind HTML5, throughout this article I will be discussing why HTML5 is such a big deal, what it can actually do, the many advantages and disadvantages, the benefits that favor HTML5, and arguments it has for the web today.
Everything changes. People’s taste also changes. In the long run, Quality Web Design will face difficulties to satisfy and meet customers’ needs.
As more users are getting into their mobile devices, responsive web design has its own future too when it comes to user experience. Additionally, responsive design is becoming more emerging into the world. Mobile users use their devices in three common ways – to search, to directly navigate to a destination website, send a link to themselves via email so they can visit it later (Savitz, 2012). This is the reason why responsive design is becoming more popular and is ascending into its trends. Responsive web design is flexible and it takes full
The end of the year approaching fast and this year (2015) has been a one in which the main focus of the website designers has been on responsive design. This is quite understandable since there has been a steady increase in the number of mobile Internet users in the past 5 years. In fact the number of mobile Internet users have exceeded those from any other platform this year (2015). This is a very important statistic for every business and web development firm. Here are a few statistics that make it all very clear:
Building a website is a great way to share your ideas and thoughts with the world. But if you have never done one, it can seem discouraging. The development and design of a basic web page can be a fun yet tricky task. Whether it’s a large commercial web page for business purposes, or a small personal web page about your hobby or family; the process of development is the same. Throughout this essay, the website will be centered on using it for business, not just an informational website.
HTML is the basic language understood by all WWW (World Wide Web) clients. It can execute on a PC under any operating system such as Windows, Mac, Linux, or on a Unix workstation. However, it is limited in its computational power intentionally because it can prevent the execution of dangerous programs on the client machine. Web programmers, who are now much more sophisticated in their applications, provide different type of services to a growing demand of interactive content. Today, most users have competent client machines which are capable of doing much more than HTML allows. Fortunately, there is steady development in the field, and today the number of capable applications is expanding. We can easily build database-driven websites with various
New jobs are still growing and being created by the internet. Most companies today have a Web site and training Web technologists has changed from a speedy training session to a more refined method that considers the companies individual needs. “Because of the demand for Web developers, you should talk to your employer about experience you could get internally” (Chapman, 2007). Budgets are not allowing companies to hire webmasters, instead they are using existing employees to change or update Web sites. “…technical Web developers are now taking on more roles, thus needing to add more skills to perform their jobs properly” (Thisner, 2004, para. 2). With technologies creating new tools the developer having specialized skills will become more important. One such technology has been launched by a company called Goozmo. They are fast growing and have entered the industry as a full-service Web development company according to Goozmo’s founder Benjamin Reed. “We specialize in tools to let people manage their own Web site easily,” said Reed (Heglin, 2008). Internet training has been divided into two main areas: Web design and Web development. Web design includes the visual and design elements of the industry while Web development concentrates
