Web site design has come a very long way since the Internet's very first web site back in the early 1990's. Like the Internet's very first web sites, the majority of sites are presented in a computer language called HTML (HyperText Markup Language). HTML is currently in its' 4th version, with the next major version, HTML 5 currently being rolled out. HTML 4 has been the core Internet Mark-Up language for nearly 10 years. Ever since the original conception of HTML, the Internet boom has spawned an array of hundreds if not thousands of other languages, software and mediums that are used in collaboration to produce modern, attractive and dynamic web sites.
In modern times, there are a whole host of features available to build a both stunning and interactive web site. The construction and completion of a web site can be categorised in two main areas:
1. The Design
The primary objective of a web site should be to meet the requirements of the client. In most cases this would be to attract then convert Internet users into customers, subscribers or in the case of charities, donators. The design of the web site is paramount to reassuring, educating and ultimately convincing the viewer that they have come to the right place, or that they have found what they are looking for. It is the responsibly of the web design company or sole web designer, to produce a suitable design that is attractive to the target market, and doesn't deter people from exploring the web site. Web designers often use a variety of techniques, programmes and software during the design of a web site. These may include any combination of the following:
2. The Development
Once the design of the web site is in place, either as a mock-up or coded HTML skeleton, the web site then requires developing. Development can be as basic as constructing the design as a web page in HTML, or it can be as complex as using the design to 'skin' a complex, Database driven web site. Development can be completed by the same designer, or in the case of bigger/complex projects, within a team of individuals who specialise in certain areas of construction. Web Developers or Web Designers can use any of the following to develop a web site to completion and the ongoing maintenance:
Creare also utilise Open Source & 3rd party web design software. Open Source is essentially software that is developed by teams of people and is distributed for free on the internet. Open Source software covers a variety of web design applications including blogging software and e-commerce software. To name a few of these applications, Creare are familiar with the following:
Another key consideration to think about when choosing a web design company is accessibility and usability. Modern Internet Browsers and web site programming allow web sites to be constructed to allow users to:
Whilst all of the above factors should be taken for granted when you choose a web design company, the unfortunate fact is that you can't. Ensure that accessibility and 'Cross Platform' support is a key objective of your chosen web designers.
