Introduction to Basics of Web Design

Posted by aminshit On February - 9 - 2011 ADD COMMENTS

For those interested in web designing, for a career or for a hobby, there are some basic facts that need to be kept in mind in case one’s objective is to create remarkable websites.

Web designing concepts continually get added with new information. But, despite this fact, all it requires is to follow the basic rules in order to create extraordinary websites. The rules can keep increasing or changing as one goes ahead with the designing part.

The unique thing about web designing is that it does not follow the basic rule of what you see is what you get, which is commonly the case with computer applications. A website cannot be designed and it be assumed that others will see it the same way in which you see it.

The appearance of a website depends upon the web browser and it can vary from one browser to another, which is the case with all the users on the internet. Hence, web designing requires the designer to keep everyone and every web browser in mind.

An important element of web designing is HTML. But most of the web designers have a misconception that HTML is just a language for page description. The truth about HTML is that it is a structural markup language, which means that it not only allows the creation of a layout, but it also helps create the structure of the document. The knowledge of the language needs to be refreshed regularly since most of the web designers are prone to take a deviation from the basic rules. Many web designers use the language in a wrong way, which affects websites’ appeal.

Even when content is added to a website, web designing does not go near word processing. With word processing, the designer has the complete control over the appearance of the page.

Initially, when content is placed on a website, the designer has limited control over its appearance. This is due to the difference in the web browsers, computers and the computer settings. Even if there is some control over web content, when it comes to the layout and design, you have to keep your complete faith on each browser’s ability to display the content in the best possible way.

Another important point to be noted is that graphics always do not score above content or sometimes even simple links. Even if graphics go a long way in attracting the attention of internet users, most people are repelled by graphics and avoid using much of it on their websites. Optimal use of graphics is acceptable, but with web designs it is more important to easily navigate through the web pages, whether they have graphics or not.

Along with graphics, excess use of gimmicks should also be avoided while designing web pages. Using flashy gimmicks can be fun, but most of the web browsers are more compatible with making minimal use of them.

The most important rule in web designing is that successful websites are designed on original content. Sites having the best graphics and gimmicks are more likely to create lesser impact if they are not loaded with quality, original content.

The Role of Design and Content in Website Designing

A successful website is not all about its design and layout, but the content also plays an important role to its success. Similarly, a website cannot just do with a good content. It has to have an appealing design and organized layout. Hence, the question would arise that which element is more important to make a successful website – design or content. Website designing consists of the final layout and design of all the web pages along with their visual interface. It is worth noting that the web layout is completely different from interactive information or design architecture.

The web content needs a complete understanding of the types of information and content that is required to be delivered to the target visitors. And, the whole concept should be based on the fact that the visitors come to the site in order to fulfill their requirements.

Website designing generally begins by giving a business objective to the site. Other requirements include the decision of functionality, the determination of target audience and creating strategies. The design elements including the navigation bar, the logo and web page structures are all based around these objectives. In the beginning of the web designing process, there is not much processing related to the content.

The site map of a website in fact includes different generic pages such as Homepage, Products & Services, About Us, Contact Us etc. This layout follows a stipulated structure and is flexible towards adding new pages. New pages can be added and updates can be carried out at any later time. The role of placement of content comes at a later stage of the process.

Content addition is planned only after the website is designed and the web page structure is created. And, mostly problems emerge at this stage of the web designing process. This occurs when content is loaded in bulk, which the web pages are not able to accommodate. In such a situation, you face a situation, where cutting down on the content is not quite possible. As an example, when you require some testimonials to be placed on your website and there is shortage of space on the testimonials page. But, if there is ample space available on the web pages, then you can include that space to cover the testimonials.

When it comes to smaller websites, the role of design is more important than that of content. The reason is that the amount of content to be added depends upon the design and layout of the website.

Content receives more importance when information is more important than design. This is especially true for larger websites. For larger websites, large amount of information requires to be handled. It can be loaded with both online and offline information that is always ready to be placed on the online platform. In such a case, more importance is given to content, which becomes the key factor in the designing and development process.

Designing a website around content ensures an improved and better experience for the user. But, it is important for a website designer to comprehend the website content along with its objective.

Communicating Website Layout with Web Designers

It can be a daunting task to communicate your requirements to a web designer during the hiring, because there is always a huge gap in the language spoken by web design novice and a professional. Here you will find helpful tips on how to get your requirements across to a web designer.

While going for the selection of a professional web designer, you always have an idea of finding the right person who will give you the most outstanding website that has ever been created.

But, most of the times explaining your requirements to the web designer can be a highly frustrating process. The most difficult part is not to plan the web design in your mind, but to put the complete picture in front of the designer. In most of the cases, this is the largest hurdle between planning and the finished website. Despite being talented, a web designer cannot deliver the best results unless he or she is properly communicated the requirements of the client.

Mainly every client faces two kinds of situations while planning a web design. The first is that they are fully aware of the content that needs to be used in the website, but they don’t exactly know the presentation. The second situation can be that they have the content as well as the layout ready for your site, but they are not aware of the implementation part. In both of these cases, it is required to properly explain the plan to a web designer. Even though most of the people think it is better to be in the second situation rather than to be in the first one, but practically it has been found that the first situation is far better than the second one.

It has been found that it is always better to give the website content to the web designer and give him or her freedom to work around with the web design. It is far easier and feasible to explain the nature of the website to a web designer, like what products are intended to be sold, rather than explaining the shapes and color schemes that you want added to the site.

Both of the above-mentioned situations can be approached from this perspective, but with minor modifications. It could be an easy relief for you, if you find a website that has similar features as required by you or a one that looks similar to the site you want designed. In such a case you can direct the web designer to the site so that he can clearly understand your design needs. It would help the designer to get some idea of what you exactly want.

The fact is that a client and a web designer look at an element from a completely different angle. Hence, it can be ever better if you provide him with a number of examples.

The more the number of sites you can find to express your intention to the designer, the more easier it will be for him or her to comprehend the plan, without you ever having to make use of any technical terms.

Features of ecommerce Website design

Posted by aminshit On November - 3 - 2010 ADD COMMENTS

There is a unique character associated with an ecommerce website which has a simple objective – to encourage a visitor to make an online purchase. When designing an ecommerce site, a web designer is required to consider a number of principles related to online selling.

Most people consider not much difference between an ecommerce and other website design. Both types of websites are required to be well organized, attractive and use appropriate colors to suit to the spirit of the website. A closer look into successful and effective ecommerce sites helps you find the conceptual differences between the two categories.
There are some basic selling principles that a successful ecommerce site imbibes in its design.
It gives a pleasing online shopping experience to its user

It provides all the required information to let the visitors know about the owner of the site and how they can be trusted.And, the website provides a convenient to use interface and applications that play an important role in retaining its visitors.And, these principles may not seem any newfound knowledge to you. You have always been finding these basics being followed by shopping centers, malls and other market places that look forward to a customer.

When it comes to the virtual world, it is a challenge for the web designers to transform the conventional marketing principles to the internet. For a simple example, bread stands in supermarkets are located at the far end of the market, but still visitors can get the fresh smell of bread even from the entrance. It is done purposely. Marketers use visitor’s sense of smell in order to move them across the store to the far end. This gets the visitors exposed to different kinds of tempting food. But this is not quite possible in the virtual world, since the element of smell cannot be brought on a website.

On a website, the shelf can be ordered in the best way to expose the products to the visitors. But the chances are always there that a visitor can find a link to another website.

Displaying your products on a website can be a much easier task than setting up a land-based supermarket. But, selling the products can be a daunting task.

A good ecommerce site design leads a visitor to the expected page in a single or at the most with two clicks.
At times web designers make use of such techniques that are not common to non-ecommerce sites. A sales letter website is a common example. These sites provide at the most a single link, and that too is to the order form. And an ecommerce site is not generally of the sales letter type, since the later sells only a single product. But, the once click principle is a great advantage to the sales letter web design. In such a website, visitors can find all the information that they require about a single product and at a distance of a few lines they can find the link to reach the order form.
