Web designing involves developing or creating content rich presentations which are accessible through the World Wide Web to all and sundry. Thus web designing primarily involves designing the content and the features of web pages and websites. The word “website†needs no introduction at all. It basically comprises a group of set of pages containing information about certain issues. These pages are in the form of web pages and are written in a certain code which is called a markup language. This language is HTML or Hyper Text Markup Language. Thus designing a website would be defined as creating and sorting out the web pages that constitute the website.
There are various and often widely differing priorities for different websites depending on their type and end goals. For example the aspects of web designing for a commercial website and a non commercial one might vary widely. Also, the Internet and in a manner of speaking, the World Wide Web is in a state of constant flux. Newer features are always occurring as a result of newer technological developments. However, there are certain features that manage to stay constant. For example it is said, that in a perfect website, a user must be able to access his desired content in three clicks only. Basically it implies that a website must be uncluttered and user friendly.
The other important factors operating behind web designing are firstly, the content of the website. This is the first and most vital features of web design. The content or rather the information put up on the website should be relevant and useful also, the content must be such that it succeeds in capturing the viewer ship of the sector of people that it was targeting in the first place.
The second vital element of web designing is what has already been touched upon before. The usability of the website is very important. It should be uncomplicated and uncluttered. That is, the user does not need to be a rocket scientist to have to be able to navigate his way through the site.
Thirdly, the style of the website including the graphics should be visually appealing to the user. It must be clean and sharp.
Lastly, the website should be easily accessible. This is where the technology of search engine optimization is used. The website should appear on the major search engines like Google, Yahoo!, and MSN and also on all major Internet Directories. Basically the site should be visible on the World Wide Web.
