What Is Modern Web Design?
 |
Most internet users visit websites without understanding (or even caring) how the sites came to exist. Every website was originally a basic concept in someone’s mind. Moving a site from mental concept to existence on the web is the job of the designer. Website success is measured in number of visitors. The most successful sites combine several strategies to rise above the millions of sites competing for attention. Web design is the process that links the strategies.
After the concept of a site comes the goal. The goal can be expressing personal style or opinion; getting donations or promoting a point of view for non-profits; providing client or customer access to information or selling products or services online. Successfully achieving a goal requires attracting visitors, whether just to have them see and comment on the personal style or to buy a new “swirlygig” a site needs visitors.
Back in the old days – before the World Wide Web – there were many types and brands of computer systems that could not easily communicate with each other. The technology of the web acted like a universal translator and suddenly communication among different systems was easy. Information sharing makes everyone more effective at whatever they do. Web designers make this possible.
There may be a few unsupported computer systems but the technology of the web reaches almost everyone. Any person or organization with an opinion to share or something to sell has a website. Multimillions of sites are competing for attention. Successful websites combine visual impact, interesting content, easy access and simple navigation. A web designer put together the combination that the visitors see.
The characteristics of a successful website designer include artistic talent and training; technical understanding of how people respond to design features; and, ideally, a shared interest with the intended audience. The importance of visual appeal is demonstrated by the early internet success champion – pornography. It is disturbing to many but the success of pornography powered much of early web development.
There are certain limitations inherent to websites. Heavy graphic content or large videos can slow down loading speed. Users are impatient and can leave a slow loading site before it is loaded. Website designers have to make compromises between quality visuals and loading speed. Easy navigation between pages on a site is vital.
Accessibility is important in web design. There are visually impaired users, hearing impaired users and others with accessibility issues. There are standards that measure a site’s accessibility and designers should strive to make their sites score well.
Anyone can design a website that matches his/her personal taste. The problem is that very few people agree on what is attractive and interesting. If personal expression is the goal, eclectic design is not bad. If success in the form of millions of visitors is the goal, professional web design is much better. The background functionality of a website is the programmer/developer’s domain but designers need to know what is possible and enough programming to communicate the design to the developer for implementation.
