A website refers to a compilation of Web pages that can be typically accessed through a software package, commonly known as a Web browser (one example is the HTTP on the Internet). These pages, which are essentially documents that are in the HTML or XHTML format (HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language), are accessed from a 'common root URL' - or the website's homepage (as most people know it). From this homepage, the visitor/Internet user can browse or look through the entire website either with the use of the hyperlinks or the URLs of the different web pages.

Viewed on computers and other devices that are capable of connecting with the Internet (such as PDAs and cellular phones), websites can be grouped into numerous types, depending on their use or the services that they offer. Some of them include the following:

· Archive site - maintains and protects electronic contents that are valuable to the point of extinction.

· Business site - promotes a business or a service.

· Commerce or eCommerce site - offers goods for sale.

· Community site - allows people with related and similar interests to communicate with each other (either through chat or message boards).

· Database site - searches and displays a particular database's content.

· Development site - provides data and sources that are related to software development and web design, among others.

· Directory site - contains wide-ranging contents that are usually divided into categories and subcategories.

· Download site - allows users to download electronic contents, such as game demos and software.

· Game site - provides a 'playground' where people meet and play.

· Information site - contains data or content that have the sole purpose of informing visitors (not for commercial purposes).

· News site - dispenses or distributes news and commentaries (similar to an information site).

· Pornography site - shows pornographic videos and images.

· Search engine site - provides general information and serves as a 'gateway' for other sites and resources (can also be a web portal site).

· Shock site - shows images and other materials that aim to offend viewers.

· Vanity site - a personal site that is run or maintained by an individual or a small group, the contents of which can be of any information that the site owner wishes to include.

· Blog site or blogs - registers online readings and posts online diaries or discussion forums.

· Wiki site - allows users to collaboratively edit the contents.

Yahoo! is perhaps the most famous example of a very large website. The most popular and widely-used website, Yahoo! is a mixture of the different types of sites - it is a directory site and a search engine site, among others.

Because of the enormous (and diverse) amount of information that it contains, the Yahoo! site map is an extremely useful feature in the Yahoo! website.

A site map is a web page that lists the entire pages on a web site. Organized in a hierarchical fashion, site maps can be in textual or visual form (a diagram or an image).

The Yahoo! site map serves as a blueprint for the Yahoo! website. Similar to a book's Table of Contents, the Yahoo! sitemap makes it easier for visitors or users to find specific information or pages on the Yahoo! web site without having to browse many pages, because the site map gives an overview or a visual outline of the Yahoo! web site, with each location provided with active links to enable the user to directly move to a specific location.

In addition, the Yahoo! site map allows web developers to put out links from across their sites, making it easier for search engine robots (or engine spiders) to find these pages.

Because the Yahoo! site map improves the search engine optimization of a site, this feature can be considered a valuable tool for online marketers, whose aim is to stimulate and direct traffic to their web sites.

Note, however, that the Yahoo! site map can only give you the 'basics'. Because it is important for web marketers to 'rank high' on main search engines, an effective web marketing strategy that promotes your web site is also very much needed. Listed below are some search engine strategies to consider:

1. Write a descriptive page title at the top of your webpage that avoids 'filler' words like "the" or "and".

2. Incorporate descriptive keywords on your home page, along with your business name. This is called "keyword prominence".

3. Include a Description Meta Tag at the top of the web page. This refers to the sentences (1 or 2 lines, with a maximum of around 255 characters) that describe the content of your web page.

These are just some of the many techniques that you can employ to get more users to visit your website. The important thing is to focus on keywords - and let Yahoo! site map do the rest.

An important tip to remember every now and then is that people visit the site checking out for some information. These Surfers can be an unforgiving lot. Once they found things useful for them in a site they would definitely visit every now and then.

The reason why site maps are indispensable is due to its helpfulness in letting the surfers understand the site program and plan and therefore, speed up the way to onset to what the site will be showcasing. This is a part of the website created where the edifice of a web site can be visible to a surfer or visitor. These visitors can choose the link to where they want to surf with just a touch of the mouse of keyboard.

Here are Significant key pointers of a good site map, which helps visitors at finding information faster on a web site:

· The site map should be the simplest page on the web site. · Keep the name "Site Map" so those visitors won't be having a hard time looking for it.

· Always avoid "dynamic" site maps. Those in which the visitors have to find their way easily to get hold of information.

· If the site map is list of text links, use the TITLE attribute of the anchor tag and include keywords inside it.

· Putting a sentence describing the page contents below the link for that page on a site map is always good.

· It should not be the primary navigation on the web site it should complement it.

· It is very important that there is a link to the site map page and all pages should carry this link. The site map link can be combined with other links in the main menu on the web site or placed at a section on the web page from which is it clearly seen.

· Other important factors on a web site should complement site maps. For example, the link color for visited links should be different from that of not yet visited links so that visitors have a clear idea which pages they have already seen and thus, save time.

In addition to the advantages a site map showcase to "living" surfers, it is also significant for robot surfers from search engines . As a web developer should be aiming to get all visible pages on the web site found in the search engine database. As expected a site map, from one page to another, should carry links to all, it is an ideal form to submit to search engines . Submission of the site map to a search engine might help in getting all web pages indexed quickly by the search engine. I may be incorrect since I have no data to support this point but it just seems logical. However, on a similar note, there is still a limit to all the information that a search engine could provide a visitor. For example, if there’s a page which is not found in the directory program of the web site, it will not be detected other search engines. With this in mind, another importance of a site map it tells the search engine instantly to go to a specifc page rather than scouting through the links.

Two important questions:

1. Will the website appear as it was planned even for robots? 2. Are the pages exact and effectively designed? Having a site map assists the creator in planning the site before he can even start creating it. Once the pages have been decided, the whole thing becomes simpler and the web pages designs are easily matched to the creator’s ideas. There are 5 important tips in making a good site map:

Good Site Must-Have 1

The logo should be linked to the website homepage.

Good Site Must-Have 2

The Site map must be place either on top or on the upper left, under the header. Unless everything’s in order already and sure about the design, never try to alter or make changes for a while.

Good Site Must-Have 3

There must be a congenial way to go around searching the web site. Do not place the site map in a location that is different from one page to another, like if it is placed horizontally on one page, it should be placed horizontally on the rest of the other pages. However, the case is different if it is a navigation system for a homepage. This could differ in homepages.

Good Site Must-Have 4

Additionally, the logo of the homepage should be linked with a “HOME” or any equivalent sign for easy work around or navigation. There should also be a “contact us,” “about our site,” pages to be visited.

Good Site Must-Have 5

The golden rule for a good site map is that the number of a visitor’s clicks should be leading him every step of the way and not jumping to other pages. It is required that the move should be as easy, reliable and above all, very user-friendly.

Generator sitemap programs can be downloaded from various sources on the Internet. Generator sitemap programs have two fundamental purposes. Generator sitemap programs help surfers navigate a site effectively. At the same time, a generator sitemap program encourages search engine spiders. Google offers one of the most popular generator sitemap programs ever to hit the Internet.

The generator sitemap of google makes it possible for a website to get listed and get updated by the google search engine. Setting up the generator sitemap helps speed up the addition of the web pages of a site to the google listing. The generator sitemap also makes it easier for a site to get noticed by online surfers. In addition, any changes made to a website that has a generator sitemap is immediately picked up by google. The generator sitemap also helps keep online information fresh and up-to-date for users.

Visibility is key to generator sitemap

Visibility is a major concern when using a generator sitemap. A website that is completely indexed has better chances of getting top search engine placement in page results. Many of the popular browsers used by searchers and that support java recognize generator sitemap programs. These include firefox and Internet explorer.

An online consumer that searches for a specific content on the web can immediately be directed to any one of the web pages of a particular site. The generator sitemap makes it easier for a search engine to provide accurate results from web pages they are familiar with.

Who can benefit from a generator sitemap?

A generator sitemap is highly recommended for websites that often do repeated modification of their web pages. A generator sitemap can be used for websites of any size, regardless of the number of web pages a site may contain.

Although using a generator sitemap is not a guarantee of increased site rankings, it does however provide a website a better opportunity of getting listed on a search engine.

Working with a generator sitemap

Most of the available generator sitemap programs available on the web make use of extensible markup language or XML. Similar to hypertext markup language or HTML, XML is used widely in blogs and syndicated feeds on the Internet. Each line of a XML code for a generator sitemap has a specific purpose.

The location or <.loc> identifies the name of the web page of a website. The line <.lastmod> indicates when the web page was last modified. The format for <.lastmod> can either be dd.mm.yyyy, dd.mm.yyyy hh:mm, dd/mm/yyyy or dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm. Shortcuts can also be used to simply the assignment of dates to the cell.

<.changefreq> advises the search engine of a specific time frame when the web page is regularly updated. This can either be done on an hourly, daily, weekly, monthly or yearly basis. For web pages that are not updated, the value 'never' is used. <.priority> indicates the level of priority that a search engine should give a particular web page of a website. These levels range from 0.0 for least priority to 1.0 for high priority.

Creating a dynamic generator sitemap

Creating a dynamic generator sitemap is useful for websites containing various web pages. The google search engine makes it easy for users to adapt their google sitemap with the help of a python script.

The python script generates a sitemap using sitemap protocol. This creates a sitemap from either access logs, URL lists or from web server directories.

Tips for using a generator sitemap from google

As one of more popular search engines offering a generator sitemap for websites on the Internet, google offers a few tips for its loyal users. Using the google sitemap url encoder/decoder is helpful for submitting sitemaps to google. For websites that have numerous web pages, creating a sitemap can be a tremendous task. For this situation it is best to click on the column title in order to make it easier for a URL list to get sorted.

The google generator sitemap allows users to save their settings after creating a sitemap. Users can use these saved settings as a guideline for succeeding generator sitemap updates. The generator sitemap also recognizes the use of robots.txt files.

Using a generator sitemap is a positive move in getting top ranking on the Internet's top search engines as well as high visibility among online users.

A sitemap of a website is similar to the table of contents of a book. Sitemaps are important because it guides web surfers to the particular part of the website they have a point of interest in. With it they would save time following links and get right to the point instead.

Sitemaps are also where search engines look at if somebody is looking for a particular keyword or phrase. If you have a site map, you can most likely be searched.

Creating a sitemap, now with software technology surging in, is relatively easier than before. You need not be a programming guru to be one. All need is a notepad, a program editor, and some patience. Here’s how you do it:

Create the listing on a notepad.

It doesn’t necessarily have to be a notepad. Any word processing program will do. First off, make sure to type in all the parts and pieces of your website. Include all pages and all links you have. Create it as if you listing the contents of your book. Make a draft first. You’re sure no to miss something out this way.

Create a new page for your sitemap.

You can insert the sitemap on your website on one of its pages or you can create an entirely different page for it. Using your notepad, incorporate all tags necessary to it to make another webpage. Open up your website creator program and tag your sitemap using it. If you have created your website on your own, this will be easy for you. Create a link for the sitemap.

You won’t be able to view the sitemap if you won’t put a link for it, of course. Create the link on the front page of your website so that visitors can view it right away and be directed appropriately.

Check your work.

It is important to validate the functionality of the links you created on the sitemap. Test each and every one in there and if you get an error, be sure to fix it accurately. Run through every single page to make sure that all are accounted for.

Upload your work.

Place the sitemap now on your live browser and double check it. It should function as smoothly as the dry run. Error should be minimal at this stage since you already have verified it locally.

The steps provided herewith is the manual way of creating a sitemap. These days, if you search hard enough on the web, you will find online programs that will do all these work for you. All you have to do it type in the URL or the link of your website and they will create the sitemap with click of a button.

Of course that method is generic. All of you who have created their sitemap that way will have an end product that is all the same, plus there’s that possibility that something else will be inserted in there too. Then again, the process is less taxing and way, way simpler.

But if you want a more personalized output, and you are pretty good with computers and programming yourself, better make one of your own. And since you made your website anyway, creating sitemap is just like creating any other page on the website. Other than you’ll know for sure the links are accurate, you can organize the links the way you prefer it to be. Major parts of the site are emphasized compared to less significant. This is important especially if you are selling products or offering services online.

Sitemap is vital to a website. People search the web a lot for something. If your website has what that particular person is looking for, and your sitemap reports it, then you have a new customer looking at your items. Not only that, they will see some other things up for sale that they might be interested in as well.

Sitemaps, be it generated by a program automatically or you made it yourself, presents the same purpose. That is to lead your visitors to where they’re likely headed, and for you to be seen on the World Wide Web through search spiders. So with these, make sure your website has a sitemap of its own, lest make one.

One of the first deliverables in a website design project is the sitemap. This seemingly simple document, usually no more than a page in length, often causes a great deal of confusion. The sitemap is a critical piece of every website, so it's important to understand it.

The sitemap is the spine around which your website will be built. The sitemap dictates-or rather, it demonstrates-the navigational structure of your new website. Here's a breakdown of what the sitemap contains:

• Parent Pages: These are the pages that appear in the top-level navigation. The pages that appear in the navigation bar are those that your clients are most likely to be interested in. Remember, it's a hard fact of business that clients and prospectives care more about themselves than they do about you. Having one parent page about your company is good-having three relating only to you, not so good.
• Child Pages: These are the pages that belong "under" the parent pages. Sometimes a child page can have its own child page. Anything beyond a "grandchild" page is unadvisable, as it can make your website look messy. Make sure the child page is a good fit for the parent page. Putting your Team Bios under the Services page is a sure-fire way to confuse your visitors.
• Top Links: This is typically reserved for social media links. We won't discuss here the pros and cons of the various social networks. Suffice it to say that you should only post a link to social media accounts if you plan to update them regularly. A Facebook page that hasn't been updated since February 2010 is worse than not have a Facebook page at all.
• Bottom Links: These links are typically overlooked. They include pages like Privacy Policy or Legal. While you may think no one reads this information, it's important to include it nonetheless. Your visitors have a right to know what information (if any) you're collecting from them and how you're using it. A Privacy Policy is especially important if you have a contact form or an email newsletter sign-up.

Even if you aren't developing the website, it is just as important that you understand the purpose and value of the sitemap. Every website project should start with a sitemap. Without it, you risk your website becoming a wobbly, unstructured mess. When selecting a web designer be sure that a sitemap is included in the project plan.

Learning Beginner Web Design
Web Design Career
Basics of Web Design Process
What is a VPN?

By Bob Pardue

Learning beginner web design is a pretty nice way to hone your skills in this area. Whether you plan on designing websites all on your own or you want to be a part of a company, learning beginner web design is the best way to increase your skills and progress at a much faster pace.

What most people don't seem to understand is exactly where they should actually learn: online or offline? This is a tough question to ask yourself, especially since both teach you the same things. So, learning about the different benefits and cons of each one could easily help you to decide which way is best for you.

� Benefits of online school

One of the main benefits to going online is the fact that you can easily take your classes from the comfort of your own home. So, instead of having to leave home every single day, you can learn from your computer and send in your work there.

I suggest having a good computer or laptop that can potentially handle the rigorous downloads on your computer, as most downloads just won't work on an ordinary netbook. Online schools are great to join, but the price can be a bit more expensive concerning the fact that it is more convenient than an ordinary traditional school.

� Benefits of going to a traditional school

When you go to an ordinary school, you'll learn everything that you will learn online, but instead of just learning from home, you'll get to meet other like-minded people who are also interested in the same things as you.

The truth is that ordinary school is hard to get to, especially when you realize that you'll have to leave home and possibly leave your kids everyday if you have any. Traditional school is great, but it's good to outweigh all of the possible cons as well.

� Making this your career

No matter what you decide to choose, it's important that you know how to make a career out of this once you finally finish off your training. You can work individually and possibly make your service known to several companies on your own if you'd like.

However, nothing beats working with a professional company who will provide for you a good salary. These people will probably pay you based off of your experience and education, so it's vital for you to have a good education to rely on to show your expertise in this field.

Learning beginner web design is very easy to do, but it's even easier to get jobs and make a good career as a web designer when you have lots of training under your belt.

Remember that an investment is going to be needed for your online tools and possibly for that new laptop if you need one, so don't take this too lightly. If it's something you really want to do, then you should really try to get started as soon as possible. The investment is surely going to be worth it once you start making a lot of money.

Guest Blogging: A Smart Way to Build Links and Traffic
Why People Won't Read Your Blog
WordPress Plugins that I find useful
Learning Beginner Web Design

By Lyka Winnett

As Google keeps pushing out algorithmic updates in its persistent and growing need to feed its users fresh and high-quality content, now more than ever, it has become "SEO life-threatening" important for webmasters, site owners, and professional SEOs and the like to fine-tune existing content and most significantly add new relevant quality content to their sites.

As one looks forward to the 2012 Panda-dominated world of SEO, one of the most essential methods that SEO Service providers should be looking at in order to build back links and generate traffic, as well as to capitalize on the web masters' need to have quality content regularly published on their websites, is guest blogging.

What is Guest Blogging?

Guest blogging is the act of writing informative relevant content for another blog, provided that the website owner publishes the written content on their website.

It's commonly accepted ethical practice that site owners will accredit the content to the writer, who will usually include a short bio that is placed at the end of the guest post. Within this bio, the author is allowed to place a link back to his/her website, or several links, or even a back link from within the content of the article if the publisher deems it relevant and adds value to the content.

Guest-blogging is the best method for building or getting quality backlinks, generating traffic, gaining exposure, and building relationships.

Benefits of Guest Blogging

Guest Blogging creates a mutually beneficial and symbiotic relationship as the blog owner benefits by getting free content and the site's audience is treated to diversity in content and in writing style while the author's needs of backlinks are attained.

Here are some of the benefits of guest blogging:

1. Gain Quality Traffic. By posting content to well-known blogs (guest blogging) in your niche, you'll have the opportunity to reach your target audience as most blogs have their own established subscribers who, via email or their RSS reader, receive all posts made on a blog, including yours. You can also have the chance to quickly increase the size of your audience.

2. FREE Advertising. Guest blogging provides free advertising for your blog as many website owners promote guest posts to their network in order to increase traffic.

3. Gain Subscribers. As most blogs have their own established subscribers who via email or their RSS reader receive all posts made on a blog, including yours, you will then have the opportunity to make these subscribers subscribes to your site.

4. Increased exposure. Through guest blogging, you will be open to a new audience. By posting guest articles several times at a particular relevant blog, this will increase your chances of readers clicking on your link. New blog visitors or readers may become your loyal subscribers.

5. Build Backlinks. As authors, you will be allowed to place backlink to your site at the end of your guest post, so in this way you can build your backlinks. This in turn will increase your rankings with search engines especially if you get backlink from relevant, quality websites.

6. Networking Opportunities. Make sure that the articles you posted on another site are fresh, relevant, and of high-quality. By doing this, blog owner may ask you to write guest posts for other websites he or she owns. Moreover, if you provide great posts, you'll build relationships in the blogging world which is very advantageous for your site.

Tips for Effective Blogging

Capture your Readers Interest and Get them Hooked on to your Blog!

Tips for Data Recovery

By Paige Bailey

Starting a blog can be a difficult task, and getting people to subscribe can be even more difficult. But what if you have an established blog and your numbers just aren't growing, or worse yet, what if they are falling? Here are a few reasons why people may not be interested in your blog, and believe it or not I've seen blogs with all of these problems and they all had relatively low numbers of subscribers regardless of how great the topics may have been.

1. Writing style - Yes, your blog is your online space to be yourself, share your opinions, and be an expert on what you know. No, that does not mean that you can skip punctuation, leave out 'extra' letters, or abbreviate 'you' with 'u' or 'please' with 'plz.' You aren't writing a text message or a Twitter post and you generally don't have a limited number of characters.

2. Spelling and grammar - These are important. Regardless of your topics or posts, your followers won't see you as a thought leader or expert in anything if you don't take the time to spell check and edit your posts. It doesn't take long to edit a post, and not doing it could result in a loss of followers.

3. Topics - Blog categories and keywords are there to help organize your blogs and make them easy to use, but it also shows readers what areas you're knowledgeable in. If your list of categories is close to the number of blog posts you have, this could be a problem. Readers want to see that you really know about a few topics - not that you know a small amount about a lot of unrelated topics. Find a way to focus your categories.

4. Language - Is the level of understanding in your blog equivalent to the amount of education your readers have? Make sure your blogs aren't too simple or too difficult for you followers to understand. Remember, they are most likely coming to you because you know something they don't. Make sure to use language that helps them understand, but isn't so simple they aren't interested.

5. Frequency - It's good to have a schedule when you're posting. If subscribers don't know when to expect your next post or you have too much time between posts, people can become uninterested in your blog. If it's been several months between posts, then maybe you should rethink having a blog. You don't need to post every day, or even every week if you have a smaller blog, but frequency is important.

The Traffic Player - A Totally Different Way to Boost Up Your List!

Learn About Virus Threats In Internet Explorer

Author: Andrew

WordPress plugins can add much need functionality, else save you or your visitors time. From improving search engine optimisation, to making it easy to display photo galleries and much more besides, WordPress plugins are extremely useful.

Though it is all too easy to get carried away and install too many plugins. This can impact website performance, plus cause issues with WordPress automatic updates. However if you pick a small selection wisely, including those actively worked on, hopefully you reap the benefits of using WordPress plugins.

So I thought I would share with you, two hWordPress plugins that I find useful. These two plugins help with images and search engine optimisation.

NextGEN Gallery

I remember back in the day trying to use photos with websites was nothing but a pain. Sure I still optimise my images to this very day to load in quickly and help performance, but it is a different ball game when it comes to uploading multiple images.

Some people decide instead of bothering with a gallery, they will choose a small selection and then create articles that seem to scroll into the abyss, which after the first few photos I tend to leave, plus not incredible happy precious bandwidth was used loading those images.

Other times people will upload their images to flickr, then people are invited to leave the website to view the images. Anything that suggest people go elsewhere, rather than staying on a website, should be avoided, unless truly necessary.

So it is with much relief that I found the nifty NextGEN Gallery, a WordPress gallery plugin, that is incredibly easy to use, but has a lot going on under the hood. I must admit I only use a fraction of its capabilities, but it says me time, stops me from uploading my photos elsewhere and makes the viewing experience easier on website visitors.

What I do is optimise the images, to make sure they are not too large. Then I place them in a compressed archive, aka a zip file and then upload via the WordPress dashboard. The plugin then loads the data in, and gives me a tag, which I then insert into the page or post.

When the visitor visits the page or post they are presented with thumbnails, that when clicked open into a lightbox and they can either close the image, else continue to browse the gallery. I love this plugin!

YARPP

YARPP stands for Yet Another Related Post Plugin and again is pretty easy to use. Basically it covers off the headache of internal blog post linking. At the end of each blog post it will present a list of related posts. YARPP does the hard work of compiling the list and using the titles in the anchor text link. This means it contributes to my internal SEO strategy.

Plus hopefully it contributes to increasing visitor time on the website and the amount of posts each visitor views.

WPSubscriber allows them to join your page in a very fast and easy way. You can get a lot of subscribers by just putting up a subscribe box in your posts and by making it visible anywhere you want on your WordPress page.



Why make subscribing so complicated for people who already comment on your blog actively! By providing a tick box for subscription, you can allow your regular readers to subscribe quickly. This is the best way of increasing your list.



Also attach a 'subscribe box' with a sweet request. If your readers like you and read your articles, the best way to use their loyalty is to make them subscribe, a pleading request with the right text is all that you need.



Use your Subscribe Box smartly! Put your box where it becomes compulsory for readers to subscribe.

3 Steps to Create an Effective Student Blog

By Bob Pardue

Web Designers didn't really exist as a career until the rise of the Internet. Traditionally, people who become a part of this industry first started of in a career that is somehow related to computers, such as Information Technology or Computer Science. Eventually, as the World Wide Web started to flourish in the early 2000s, the possibility for a web design career is slowly becoming clearer and clearer. This lead to the development of new programs in Universities, colleges, and schools.

The good news is, there are a lot of online courses that offer tutorials on how to design Internet sites.. A designer only needs to be creative enough in arranging the contents as well as add necessary creative inputs (background, color, animation) that will make the site more eye-catching. However, many people agree that a web developer (the guy who builds a website) has a big chance of becoming a better designer because he has the knowledge of the computer language and programming software that are used in creating the sites. This gives him an advantage because it completes the process of building a site from scratch to finish.

It is therefore advised that a person seeking this career should not rely on the free tutorials found on the Internet. Though these are also useful, it still helps if there is a student-teacher interaction occurring. This helps the student learn more about web design and it helps him answer his immediate questions on "how to". Aside from that, the courses also give you a bit of knowledge on things that the Internet cannot teach, such as experiences of professors as well as immediate answers should the student see something wrong in the process. My point? Enroll in a school, even if it is just a certificate course. With that, you get all the things you need: the lessons, the professional teachers, and the software, in leading you to a web design career.

Usually, web designers use creative programs such as Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator for manipulating and creating artworks that are built for the website. The creative aspect of web designing is the main task of a designer, which is why proficiency in these (among many other) programs is needed. Again, with the proper training and supervision, learning these programs will be much easier. As you take on a serious career in web design, it is always safe to get the highest training possible: this will not only give you the skills and knowledge that you need, but it will also give you an edge over the competition, as web designers are a big demand in the web industry today.

4 Tips on Redesigning Your Website



Cheap Websites and Small Business

By Manish KR

Web Design is such a commonly used term these days and is used in several different contexts. It can be defined as the process of designing a web page. Web Design is a multi step process and often requires strong creative and analytical skills to produce good material.

Web Design can be broken into the following concepts, which collectively form the basis of designing a web site:

• Usability Analysis
• Wireframes
• Visuals
• Interactive Elements

Usability Analysis

This is the process of analyzing the user experience on a website. To provide a higher quality of user experience, designers with extensive background in creating successful websites on the Internet are must on the project. During this phase the goals and objectives of the website to be designed, are carefully examined and items on the web page are marked with priorities. This helps in creating an effective layout to draw the user to certain parts of the web page with higher emphasis compared to the other areas of lesser importance. Usability analysis lays the foundation for the design and is followed by wireframes described in the following paragraph.

Wireframes

Wireframes can be visualized as laying tiles on a blank sheet. These individual tiles would contain the various static and dynamic elements of the web page. During this step the viewing area of a web page is divided into blocks of different sizes, with each block containing the basic layout scheme for the items enclosed within those blocks. This process is extremely important and follows the outcome of the usability analysis. Various elements of the page are assigned their respective real estate and design plan creating overall layout of the web page.

Visuals

Each block of the wireframe is polished with appealing visuals during this process. Having a well-defined style guide is very useful before creating the visuals. This helps with keeping consistent color schemes and fonts. Creative skills combined with thorough knowledge of using designing software are essential to complete this step of the process. Several color effects, font variations, shapes etc. are creating during this phase and the design goes through several iterations before it is finalized.

Interactive Elements

Creating interactive elements goes side by side with the visuals but it is important to understand the difference between visuals and interactive elements. Interactive elements are the elements of a web page that make it interactive. A few simple examples would be sliders, pop-ups, forms, drop down menus etc. Designing an interactive element requires a solid understanding of the functional aspect of a web page along with powerful creative skills.

This article provides very basic understanding of the web design process and can serve as a good starting point for beginners interested in becoming a web designer.

The most commonly used software for designing web pages is Adobe Photoshop. Dreamweaver is another very useful software that is used to convert the Photoshop designs into the HTML version of the design.
