Introduction to Web-Page Design
●Web design is the visual aesthetics and page layout of a website. It goes
hand-in-hand with web development in the creation of a static website or
dynamic web application.
●The web design process starts with a visual concept, which you could sketch
by hand or with software like Photoshop. Then, you use HTML and CSS to build
the website. HTML and CSS are the codes for writing web pages. HTML handles
the basic structure and ‘bones’ of your page, while CSS handles the style and
appearance.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WEB DESIGN
AND CODING
● Web design and coding are closely related, but they are not the same.
● Web design involves creating the visual elements and layout of a website,
● while coding involves translating these designs into a functional website using
programming languages like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Typically, dedicated
web developers translate the designs to code.
KEY ELEMENTS OF WEB DESIGN
● A good website is one that displays a careful balance between appearance
and functionality.
● When your website is aesthetically pleasing but fails to offer the
information or help your audience with what it looks for, the aesthetics
cannot make up for the lack of functionality and vice versa.
● Therefore, web design comprises two broad key elements—aesthetic or
visual elements and functional elements—that are of equal importance to
make your website stand out.
Visual Elements
● Visual elements come together and set a theme for your website, which
leaves a great impact on visitors when you get it right. It is crucial that
every element compliments one another and looks harmonious rather than
chaotic. Visual elements include:
1. Fonts 5. Colors
2. Shapes 6. Layout
3. Icons 7. Logos
4. Images 8. Video
Functional Elements
• Functional elements hold great importance in terms of how the
search engine views your website.
• However, they go beyond that and can influence user experience
as well. Some of the salient functional elements include the
following:
Navigation: The ease of access your website offers to your visitors to
reach different sections of the website
User interaction: Offering users control by avoiding needless pop-ups,
auto-play videos, or overload of information
Speed: Ensuring the page loads within a couple of seconds
Site structure: A systematic structure that is easy to navigate both for
visitors and the Google web crawler
