Web Development: In Layman's Terms
Website development doesn't have to be a costly process. Many
start-up online businesses end up paying big dollars for flashy
page designs, when in reality, software packages and a solid
knowledge of HTML can easily substitute.
Some online elements such as submission forms, can be downloaded
from public sites. Most of these are included in software
packages used to generate web sites. Users then 'customize'
these versatile web elements (with titles, headings, etc) to
create their own site content.
Simpler elements such as text styling and the grouping box
borders known as 'tables' can be created by direct HTML
commands. A basic knowledge of how these commands, or 'tags'
work enables the user to post a decent collage of formatted text
and image sequences on a linear web page quite easily. For
non-linear pages, web designers must make use of more complex
commands and codes.
Other popular elements of web design beyond the scope of simple
one-line HTML include 'mapping', where a user can click through
to different links by choosing specific areas of an image, and
built-in animation, much of which is created by separate
software programs. Web designers can flesh out their sites with
complex coding using a range of high-tech programming languages
for the net such as Java or VBScript. Alternately, other web
design can be image-based, focusing on presentation rather than
on a lot of complex code elements.
Web design seems to be a growing field, and 'graphic design'
professionals are in demand. Knowing about how web pages are
created and maintained is very useful for business owners and
other individuals interested in getting content onto the
internet.
