Web Designing: The Basics

Web designing is the ability of designing displays of content (normally hypermedia or hypertext) that is sent to an end-user with the help of the World Wide Web through a web browser or other web-enabled software such as micro blogging clients, Internet television clients, as well as RSS readers.

The method of designing websites, web pages, multimedia or web applications might use various subject areas like authoring, animation, corporate identity, communication design, human-computer interaction, graphic design, interaction design, information architecture, photography, marketing, typography and search engine optimization.

The technologies required might include the following:

    * Style sheet languages like XSL and CSS
    * Markup languages like XML and XHTML
    * Server-side scripting like ASP and PHP
    * Client-side scripting like VBScript and JavaScript
    * Multimedia technologies like Silverlight and Flash
    * Database technologies like MySQL

Websites and web pages could be static pages or might be programmed into dynamic pages that mechanically adjust visual appearance or content depending on a number of elements like input from the Webmaster, input from the end-user or modifications in the computing atmosphere (for instance, the related database of the site having been altered).

With increasing specialization in the domains of information technology and communication design, there is a firm propensity to draw a distinct line between web designing particularly for web pages and web development for the total logistics of every web-based facility.
