Designing a web site involves several procedures such ascreating mock-ups, defining interfaces, database design, systemplatform and web page aesthetics, just to name a few. The overall harmony of the web site components will be key inits performance and efficiency. The ideas that have been therationale behind the web site must be expressed thoroughlythrough its web pages. The number of visitors of the web siteand the number of actual visitors who have done transaction withthe web site are critical factors in assessing the web site'ssuccess.
HyperText Mark-up Language (HTML) was the very first web designtool that was made available when the Web made its way into theInternet (that was about 1994). HTML files are standard ASCIItext files with special formatting codes that the browser caninterpret and appropriately display on screen. Although HTML was initially designed with a standard set ofrules, the early browsers by Netscape and Microsoft begun tointroduce other features that would only work with theirrespective browsers. This became a hot topic for the Webdenizen. HTML have had several upgrades in the past, the currentversion is HTML 4.01 which was set by the World Wide WebConsortium (W3C). The W3C is a multi-national consortium recognized all over theworld. The W3C main goal is to further the development ofstandards for the Word Wide Web. They comprise mainly of memberorganization, a regular staff and also recognize publiccontributions to the Web. When the Web and the Internet were making headway into almosteveryone's computer, designers of web sites begun developingsystems that would make their jobs easier and web sites moreeffective. This paved the way for web development tools to comeinto existence. Several tools such as Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) substitutedfor table display in HTML. The integration of databases has beendeemed inevitable with the popularity of web sites. This needintroduced designers to a whole new world of server sidescripting languages such as PHP- (Hypertext Preprocessor),Active Server Pages (ASP), Java Server Pages (JSP), Python andColdFusion. JavaScript, new image formats and Macromedia Flash have givenweb designers other alternatives to improve how the web pagewill look. Although there have been hundreds and hundreds of web sitesdeveloped entirely in Macromedia Flash, search engines couldhardly index web pages created in
Macromedia Flash. This is onecriterion that should be considered before attempting to createa web site. Almost all web pages use HTML along with several web developmenttools and are also easily indexed by search engines. This is whyweb designers often prefer to use web development tool hybridsto have their website running optimally. There are other webs designs criteria that should be carefullythought about when designing web sites. These criteria can fallunder the following categories: Content, Organization andAppearance. Content involves having useful information on the web pages.When visitors find useful information on a web site chances arethey would visit them again. A web sites' purpose should beclearly defined and the targeted audience clearly identified.This would give the web site identity. The website should alsohave useful links to other web sites of the same theme orsimilar purpose. Spelling and grammar should be checked anddouble-checked so as to convey a professionally created site. Organization involves having your web site easily navigated,simplicity where contents can be summed up in a glance and webpages to browser upload time. Visitors should be able to viewyour web site in just a matter of seconds not minutes. Visitorstend to jump to other sites if your web site takes too long toupload. The web sites' appearance plays an important factor in givingthe visitors the first impression of your web site. The layoutof the images, text, links and animation would define theoverall appearance. Graphics and animations are important to theweb pages appearance but they also need longer time to download,texts should have the right color and should be readable. Thecomponents of a web page must be appropriate to the web sitesmain theme. Your web site can be great and also profitable if you followthese certain rules in designing a web site.
