Web
design
is a process of conceptualization, planning, modeling, and execution of
electronic media content delivery via internet in the form of markup
language suitable for interpretation by web browser and display as
graphical user interface (gui).
There
are many aspects (design concerns) in this process, and due to the rapid
development of the internet, new aspects may emerge. For typical
commercial web sites, the basic aspects of design are:
-
the
content: the substance, and information on the site should be
relevant to the site and should target the area of the public that
the website is concerned with.
-
the
usability: the site should be user-friendly, with the interface and
navigation simple and reliable.
-
the
appearance: the graphics and text should include a single style that
flows throughout, to show consistency. The style should be
professional, appealing and relevant.
-
the
visibility: the site must also be easy to find via most, if not all,
major search engines and advertisement media.
Once
a web site is completed, it must be published or uploaded in order to be
viewable to the public over the internet. Once published, the web master
may use a variety of techniques to increase the traffic, or hits, that
the website receives. This may include submitting the web site to a
search engine such as google or yahoo.
