Web Design has quite a short history. In fact in the great scheme of things the internet has not been around that long and therefore neither has web design.

For an art so young web design has certainly had its fair share of modifications. The first procedure implemented to guide the art of web design was the clunky but still used today HTML code.

HTML made the web accessible and in turn created the field of web design. When CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) came into existence they allowed more ease for web designers, as CSS allows you to seperate the physical layout of a website from its style and design elements.

Techniques used for website design
? Consistent menus are esential to aid users visit to your website without providing these visual aids you are leaving visitors in the dark. Ask yourself “where do I want me users to go?” and then make it obvious.
? White space can help the simplicity and feel of a website it also guides the user to the more content rich areas of a page. By using white space with skill you can effectively carve out a path for your visitors to your most important content.
? No tables, as mentioned above CSS style sheets are the way forward and enable a web designer to separate structure from design. Tables were the method used to layout a website before the existence of style sheets and are now mostly obsolete except in cases when you do actually want to display a table.
? Make you website fast, now more than ever design has to make exception for usability and performance. While not inhibiting your natural design flare it is important to make some compromises when it comes to the speed of your page.
? Having your website support a number of different browsers is critical to ensuring a uniform site appearance across different mediums. Having your website displayed properly on all web browsers will help maintain your site and company image. Internet explorer is the browser that creates the most problems in this respect but also has the largest market share in the browser market.
