By Jose Harris


A websites are collections of many different web pages. This includes the contents of multimedia, and the domain name serves as its identification which is being published in a web server. Websites are accessible through internet protocols like the internet, LAN or local area network, and URL or uniform resource locator. Websites have a lot of functions, it may be used as a personal, company, government, or non profit organization website.

Both web development and web design are two terms which are broad and which encompasses the skills in maintaining the website on the intranet or internet. Website design and development have two different meanings. A web design refers to skills that involve visual design which means on how a website will look and how the user interacts to it. A web development involve the two flavors, front end and back end development. Front end involves the visual designs and back end involves programming.

For designing a website in Baton Rouge, LA, the different techniques and skills must be observed. First are the marketing and the communication designs. These two is about the target market. In getting the desired market, designers should learn on knowing the trends of users and audiences. Also, they should learn to understand about the different types of design they will be creating.

Second are the user experience and the interactive designs. These two is about understanding the flow and how it is working. Interaction and user experience have two different meanings as well. Interaction refers only to the interaction in between the user and the system. User experience refers to overall interactions in between the user and the product.

Third, page layouts. Page layouts are the designs interfaces. Determining if the designer chooses to make one layout be the layout for all pages is an example to this. Page pixel is one of the important factors that are considered for layouts. Typically, web pages are made with a fixed width. Fluid layout is one considered alternative to grid based or HTML based layouts.

Fourth is typography which refers to the font family being used in pages. Usually, the use of fonts in a variety of sites is limited to similar styles. Most of the browsers only recognize some specific styles in which the designers prefer on using to avoid any complications.

Fifth are the motion graphics. Motion graphics are applied depending on the targeted market for a site. And also, these are usually applied for most entertainment oriented sites. But for websites that have a more formal interests such as businesses, governments, or communities may be unnecessary to be applied with these.

Sixth is the quality of codes. It will be a very good practice for designers that they will always conform to the standards. If they will not conform to it, it would possibly result to rejected websites due to many errors. One of the important standards is the correctness of layout, specifically readability and elements of codes.

Seventh are generated contents. Two ways in generating are through static or dynamic websites. An advantage of static sites is having a better security and speed, which means that there is no need for a server in generating contents. The dynamic sites utilize server side technologies in generating contents.
