Web Design

What Is Web Design?

Web design is the art of designing and laying out content onto a page which is specifically designed for viewing in web browsers. Generally the page is laid out in such a way so as to be tailored for the most generic size of screen in use at that point in time. At the moment the average screen size is 1024x768. Coupled with the page size of layout the images used within the design are optimised for use on the Internet so as to load quickly, be clear and visible when used within the browser and be visually appealing.

Once the web design is complete then the designer splits it up into elements that will be text and other elements which will remain images. Using HTML tools and alike the web design is then pieced together into a mixed form of images, text and HTML. This forms the base framework for the website and is now viewable in the browser.
