Web Designing is not a new field, but to me it is not that old either I wish I had a choice when I was going to college. Sometimes web design and development seems very much like real life to me. We have to plan our lives wisely with making sure that we are using all available options by researching properly to make the right decision.
If we don’t balance our lives carefully it can cause restlessness in our lives as well as in the lives of our loved ones or if we don’t keep our communications current and check our links from time to time we see “This Page is not available” message. I also like to play with different colors, designs and options that are available. I would like to discuss some important features of web design I love, such as:
Planning:
Basically I am an organized person; I try to plan ahead of time and keep everything in order to avoid unpleasant surprises. It is very important to plan your website thoroughly as much as possible before you start working on a website. You can add the scope, purpose, color scheme, navigation, and typography information of your project in your first plan. It will make easier for you to explain and make your client visualize the picture you have in mind. Careful planning can save you a lot of financial trouble and frustration later.
Research:
Research is an important aspect of web designing; it gives you lots of knowledge about the subject of your website. You can use books, magazines, interviews, television, radio and off course the web to do your research. I would say that it is the second step of the web design process once you pick the topic and you’re your client’s approval. Normally I use the net, books and magazines and sometimes news reports as my research tools.
Freebees:
One of the excitements in web designing is the availability of freebees and all the fun tools offered by different sites to attract the customers. I also enjoy changing the code sometimes, after I copy from the free websites to polish my programming skills. I love to use most free tools after making sure that they are safe to use, some of my favorites are:
