The majority of discussions concerning web-design, as a rule, quickly leave from the basic theme because different people understand this term in own way. A lot of people have some representation about what is web-design, but only few can give its exact definition. The certain components, such as graphic design or programming, are mentioned in each discussion; however their importance during creation of sites varies from the person to person and from a site to site. Some people consider as the most important part of web-design are creation and structurization of contents - or, being expressed more formally, its architecture. Other factors which often persists in discussion are: simplicity of use, value and purpose a web-site which express the general activity of the organization, delivery of a site etc. Web-design truly is a multidisciplinary sphere of activity because it combines different knowledge from “library business”, graphic design, programming, organization of networks.
Definition of web-design
There are five areas which cover the basic aspects of web-design.
1)Contents
The form and organization of content of web-site. The possible range – from how the text is written, organized, presented and structured with helping of technology of a marking, such as HTML.
2)Visions
It concerns to configuration of screen space on a web-site. This configuration is usually created by using HTML, CSS or even Flash and can include the graphic elements which are carrying out functions of an ornament or navigation. The visual part of a site is the most obvious aspect of web-design, but not unique, and not the most important part of discipline.
3)Technology
Though application of various web-technologies like HTML or CSS gets in this category, the technology in this context means the various interactive elements of a site often created with using of program methods. It can be elements in a range from languages of the scripts working on the part of the client, like JavaScript, up to server ads.
4)Delivery
Speed and non-failure operation of delivery of a site on the Internet or an internal corporate network are connected with applied hardware / software and the involved network architecture.
5)Purpose
The reason on which a site exists, often connected with economic questions, possibly, is the most important part of web-design. This element should be considered at acceptance of any decisions mentioning other areas.
Also I can suggest more distinct definition of web-design
The Web-design is the multidisciplinary sphere of activity concerning planning and manufacture a web-sites, which includes technical development structurization of the information and delivering this info to user.
Certainly, the degree in which each part of web-design affects a site can change depending on type of web-site. The personal homepage usually is not connected with economic reasons, characteristic for Internet-shop. The internal network of a company can not use quality visual representations so important for the popular web-site advertising. Strictly speaking, value of expression “web-design” seems indistinct so we must to understand this.
