Basic Qualities That Good Web Designers Should Have

Designing the Web is not at all as easy as reciting ABC’s. Rather, there are rules that govern every novice web designer.  These include the following: The Web is not What You See is What You Get (WYSIWYG)

 

Not all Web visitors get everything they see from the web pages. Millions of Web surfers are not using similar kind of computer as you, the same favorite browser you always prefer, identical video card and screen settings that you have. Hence, not all features embodied in the Web can be used by every Web surfer. There is a structural markup language, the HTML.

 

HTML is not a page-description language. Rather, it is a structural markup language. The structure of the document is defined in writing the HTML. Although, HTML includes basic alignment and formatting, specifying the layout is not part of HTML.

1. Authoring the Web is not equivalent to word-processing.

There comes out a precise typographical control if a word-processing document is created. It is quite less predictable to define the Web page structure. A Web designer should rise above the urge to manipulate the formatting feature of the Web pages 

2. Browsing graphically is not done by everyone.

About a million people out there do not browse graphically. True, graphics simply just spice up the Web page and are not a necessity for a Website to exist. Web developers and Web designers should rather create Web pages that communicate the message and that navigate easily.

3. “Cool tricks” are not generally cool

Automatic loading of other pages, which for new people to the World Wide Web consider as cool and a bit magical, had been done already. Cool stuff has long been used. Yet, web designers always would advise that cool tricks do not excite all web surfers.

4. Web pages that are gear-driven old fast

High techno-gadgets and stuff old fast. Subtly, something new and latest is introduced in the market. The Web is on its verge of evolution. It’s hard to get excited of trendy web pages after about seeing thousands of highly techno ones, which are done by the first bunch of web designers.

5. Nothing beats a Web page than an original content

Web surfers and a million of folks use the Web as source of information than as a source of entertainment. Simply put, there’s no better substitute to a good content on a site. Contributing to the World Wide Web enriches more the online world. Web designers that launch their masterpiece of a Web put some of themselves into the Web space.

6. Never use popularity of your browsers as an excuse for non-HTML markup tags.

There are versions of browsers’ programs with different features and quirks. Thus, the web designers could hardly use the statistics of the website’s popularity as a reliable excuse for using other markup tags.

7. Web surfers are greatly impressed of fast-loading pages

The web designers are using keys to fast loading if they would build relatively small pages, using reduced size of the graphic files, and then using hyperlinks that connect to larger Website are keys to fast loading. Those are fairly easy to do which the visitors would highly appreciate.

8. Watch out downright dangers!

Undeniably, web designers make WWW exciting, interesting, informative, and a lot fun. The web designer who finds the young field of Web technology a good avenue for creative and technical skills and talents, must always watch his/her steps because many about web designing are still fairly not stable.
