WEB DESIGN

Before I start I would like us to know more about web design: Website design means planning, creation  and updating of websites. Website design also involves information architecture, website structure user interface, navigation ergonomics, website layout, colors, contrast, fonts and imagery(photography)as well as icon design. All these website elements combined together form websites.

Website utilizes multiple disciplines such as animation, graphics, interaction design, and information architecture while giving digital corporate identity to your business. The amalgamated  features help in interacting with your unknown audience  in effective and efficient manner. Website are often considered as the interacting marketing stragery to pull out the hidden customer around the global arena.

UNDERSTANDING A WEB PAGE

The first step to setting up a web application is to understand its components. The main component and the only component a web application is setting up web pages. A web page is a text file containing Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) formatting tags and link to graphic file and other web pages through a web server. In other words, it is an interactive form of communication that uses a computer Network.  Web pages are unique in such a way that they can be interactive and use multimedia. Example is when a text can be taken on the web and the result can be forwarded to individual.

The main thing to remember when creating a web is to establish a goal by setting many links.
