About Website Designing

In its simplest form, a web site is a collection of HTML pages about a particular topic or of a particular individual or company, hosted on the World Wide Web. When we talk about designing a web site, essentially we mean planning, assembling and putting together the fonts, images, colors, layout and content of those pages.

While designing a website we must keep the following points in mind:

A website must have appropriate and relevant content. The information must be relevant and combined with the presentation should be able to draw in the intended audience.

When it comes to website design, keep it simple to the maximum extent possible. The website also be user friendly, bandwidth friendly and reliable. The appearance of course is very important. The graphics and the text must be in one single and consistent style. The style must be relevant and professional and should also suit the intended audience. The site must be listed on search engines and be accessible through links or ads on other sites.

A Web site consists of images and text. The first page is known as the home page or index. Each web page is an HTML page and has its own URL.

After a Web site is designed and created on a computer, it is usually uploaded to a hosting service so that it can be viewed over the internet. This is done using FTP services. Then different techniques are formulated by the web master to increase traffic to the website. This is done by submitting the Web site to a search engine or a web crawler which helps to exchange links with other websites.

We can also say that web designing is a process of conceptualizing, planning, modeling and execution of electronic media content. Websites displaying complex media such as vector graphics, animations, videos and sounds usually take up a lot of bandwidth, but are becoming the standard for a lot of web site designers, simply because bandwidth is not such a scarce commodity anymore.

Web site designing can be done by a single individual or by a team consisting of artists, content developers and designers. It all depends on the degree and complexity of the web site.
