Project Analysis : Sustainable Web Design

Contemporary understanding of sustainability has deep roots in environmentalism (Edwards, ch. 1). A prime example is Rachel Carson’s 1962 book Silent Spring, which first brought to light the devastating effects of man-made chemicals on the environment. Not surprisingly, then, environmental impacts, such as printing and paper waste, are the first thing to come to mind when trying to apply sustainability concepts to the graphic design process. Some commonly applied solutions to these environmental impacts include the use of recycled paper and vegetable-based inks, and creating digital PDFs instead of printed materials.

Software companies should renovate their websites based on modernized use of the internet. They should be aware that the internet is used differently now than it used to be, and that more people use it as a means of bridging communication gaps with people that they don’t know. They should find ways to keep people educated about social issues in a well-distributed

Most of the world has been affected by the great influence technology has had upon us. Just a few decades ago, there were no such things as the Internet, websites, and mass produced digital technologies. The Internet is a critical aspect to the lives of most people on Earth. Whether people are using the Internet as part of the global economy or posting personal information on FaceBook, terms such as usability are very important. The paper will evaluate a website specifically dedicated to usability and spreading methods of effective usability. Websites take time, energy, and money to build; to build a website that people do not visit or that has low usability is a waste of those resources. Usability is a significant aspect to the lives of people who heavily rely on the Internet and without adequate website usability, the Internet would collapse.

Less than a decade ago, when interest in the World Wide Web began to develop, Web sites were primarily static, and individuals had access through a direct choice of that site in order to view the information the site contained. Some developers recall the days when individuals would spend hours on what has been described as a “mental treasure hunt” searching for the best Web sites and then trading the information with others (Tebbe N23). Web sites, though active, were rarely interactive, and without an external “linked” capacity, they failed to provide support for further searches and limited the movement on the Web.

This report will be for future staff members at Phoenix Studios Design. It is split into two parts, the first part will describe two methods that can be used to improve productivity when designing a new website for a business and I have chosen to talk about wireframes and prototypes. This task will describe the advantages and disadvantages of these methods and how they are used in the design process. The second part of the report will be about how using HTML5 and CSS3 can help improve a business’ competitiveness in the market. This task will show the new features of both of these languages

Electronic Portfolios are an innovative method for arranging, compressing, and sharing antiques, data, and thoughts regarding educating or potentially learning, alongside individual and expert development. The intelligent procedure of portfolio improvement can be as vital as the last item. Much of the

This paper will be discussing the past, present, and future of web designers and developers. First by looking at the brief history of websites and how it has evolved to what is it today. Second will be discussing the present trends of how people are viewing websites on mobile devices such as: cell phones and tablets, and how that affects the design and development of websites. Lastly we’ll discuss the possible expectations the future has in store for us, devices like Google glass and other advancements to come.

The Web is composed of many languages, unspoken languages written in code. These languages take a short time to learn, but years to master; and unlike spoken languages they are constantly evolving at a noticeable rate. Changing to accommodate for the webs changing functionality, as it shifted from being only scholarly to include news, entertainment, socializing, and business. In its 28 year life span the web has evolved from the most basic HTML layouts to the high functioning responsive sites people are familiar with today.

The purpose of this paper is to explore the emerging trends that are occurring in web design to make websites more mobile-friendly. The main focus of this paper is how to design a website to be more responsive to meet the growing number of screen sizes instead of creating multiple websites to meet different viewing screens.

With the increasing interests shown by web designers and the consistent alterations in the business environment, there have been remarkable changes of the World Wide Web, ranging

Carter and Markel (2001) found that only 1% of web developers pay attention to the accessibility of the website, this is because most web developers believe that to make the website accessible a lot of resources would be required, such as times and money. Currently, there are many websites being developed and more users using. When websites are designed without any
