The History and Development of Web Design
By Jeff O'Reilly
Web Design began when the World Wide Web was originally
invented, and it was unique in its ability to link pages together
using hyperlinks. It uses a markup language known as HTML, or
HyperText Markup Language. New technologies continue to
change the way the web works, including database technologies
such as PHP, ASP, JSP, etc. These new technologies give web
designers new user-interactive features. With the creation of
Macromedia Flash, design was changed even further to offer even
more interactivity.
Web designers
have no control over certain aspects of their web design, such as
the size of the browser window. This has led to two different types
of layouts, Fixed Layout and Liquid Layout. Designers using Fixed
Layout limit the window size to a fixed with, pixel for pixel. Others
using liquid layout create pages that adjust themselves
automatically to the browser window size.
Two layouts that have often been competing are CSS layouts and
table layouts. Back when Netscape Navigator 4 was dominating
the market, it was popular to use a table layout. With the advent
of Internet Explorer, web designers leaned toward using CSS, or
Cascading Sytle Sheet. Most browsers support CSS now, however
not every browser supports it to the same level, which naturally
causes issues.
Often designers opt to use Macromedia Flash, a graphics animation
program that provides interactive and dynamic pages. They choose
Flash because they have complete control over every aspect of
their design. Flash also has the benefit of not requiring a page to
be refreshed every time a user action happens. Problems with
Flash include the fact that many search engines are
unable to find Flash pages, which prevents users from easily
finding these pages. This has recently changed with newer search
engines.
Web design is constantly changing, with the invention of new
technologies and easy to use web design programs.
