Web Design History

Web site design has evolved significantly since the early 1990s when the Internet first arrived. Most sites are programmed in a computer language called HTML (HyperText Markup Language). HTML is currently in its’ 5th version. Since the introduction of HTML the growth of the Internet has spawned an array of hundreds of alternative languages, software and platforms that are used in collaboration to produce modern, attractive and dynamic web sites.

Web Design Compliance & Standards

W3C (The World Wide Web Consortium) is the primary governing body for the web. W3C set out guidelines and offer verification tools to ensure that your web-site is built using Industry Standard coding. The W3C also govern a variety of other coding languages such as XML, SOAP and SSML to name a few. Web Designers who follow the guidelines set out by the W3C can expect their web sites to benefit from:

  • Better search engine rankings
  • Better universal browser compatibility
  • Better collaboration between other web designers and developers

Web Site Design & Web Development

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, donors. 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 responsibility 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.

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:

  • HTML – Hypertext Markup Language is the basic language for presenting a web-site.
  • XHTML – is the markup language with the same depth as HTML, but XHTML also conforms to XML syntax.
  • XML – is a custom language for creating custom markup.
  • RSS – Stands for ‘Real Simple Syndication’ and is a popular format for publishing frequently updated articles and stories like blogs.
  • ASP.NET – Is the Windows Framework used for dynamic applications.
  • PHP – Is a free (released under the PHP License) scripting language for constructing dynamic web sites.
  • MySQL – Is a Open Source Database platform (available under terms of the GNU General Public License) and used in conjunction with PHP and other languages to store and retrieve data.
  • AJAX – is a coding nickname for the combination technique of XML and Javascript for making rich internet applications.
  • Javascript – is an established client-side scripting language commonly used by web site developers.
  • Perl / CGI – is an aging scripting language that was developed originally for NASA in 1987.
  • Open Source and 3rd Party Web Design Software

Aqueous 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.

Web Site Accessibility

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:

  • Increase the font size on your web site
  • Narrate the text on your web site
  • Navigate around the site with Back & Forward buttons

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.
