LESSON 2: COMPONENTS OF A WEB-DESIGN PACKAGE

Components that make up a Web page

  • How is a Web page composed?
  • What information should a Web page have?
The main characteristics that make up a page on the Internet are:
TEXT:
Text on a Web Site: Text is the most significant element of any Web site because users surf the Web in search of information expressed in hypertext.
NOTE:
The texts have made English the universal language of the network. In its goal to reach the widest possible audience, many sites offer their information and services in their native language and in other languages, mainly in English.
IMAGES:
Although you should not abuse of the use of images because of the risk of increasing the weight of the page, and therefore, download times. The images constitute an essential element to offer visual information of the content and to show an attractive and personal design
WEB SPACE:
For our website to be visible to all we need to place it on a server
A DOMAIN NAME:
The Name is the first part of a web address that identifies the server that stores and serves your site
HYPERLINKS:
By itself, a Web page can not do much. Real magic begins when you link several pages through links.
VIDEO:
While the Internet is increasingly affordable, reliable and fast, video editing programs are closer to users.
Now it is easier to make a video from a digital camera or a mobile phone with a built-in camera and that ends up uploading to the Web to make it available to everyone.
ANIMATIONS IN FLASH:
It is an animated image, easy to create and above all that occupies little memory. It has different uses, from the creation of cartoons to the deployment of interactive drawings.
SOUNDS:
An increasingly important element. The commercialization of new mobile digital devices such as the iPhone has potentiated this element.
In addition to incorporating sound into the Web sites, you can download audio files for your mobile devices.
The MP3 format is the best known and most used for its quality and level of compression.

OTHER ELEMENTS

Other fairly common elements are:
Banner: A still or animated image usually used for advertising
Frames: They are a kind of independent box in which you can load a Web page
In this way it is possible to divide a Web page into different parts or windows, each with its own borders and scrollbars, loading an independent external web page into each of them.
Form: Area to enter data or comments. A template or page with empty spaces to fill with some purpose.
It is also used to refer to the set of fields requested by a specific program, which are stored for manipulation and subsequent use.

Web Design

The Web has become the most important way of communication in the world thanks to its facility to offer information with a speed never before reached by any other media.
This information can be consumed by anyone who has an Internet connection from anywhere in the world.
Web development is a mixture of technology, content, site architecture, design and interactivity
The success of a site depends on the way in which these five factors are combined that determine to a great extent the speed with which the information is generated and offered, and of course the success of a site.
Before analyzing these factors independently, you should consider that they must ensure that the site is easy to maintain, flexible to resize and perform updates and visually appealing to users, interesting to your audience, practical for quick downloads and effective searches; also technically sound, with no broken links or inappropriate behavior.
Web content influences the presentation, design concepts and some common strategies of work on the Internet.
Visual elements such as color, typography design and images, make up the personality of a site and generate an emotional impact that determines that the site is attractive.
Although the ultimate goal of every designer is to convey a message to a certain audience, being a good graphic designer does not necessarily mean being a good designer for web sites.
Anyone, regardless of their artistic level, can get a functional design with good looks.
A little experience and knowledge of some basic principles of design plus a certain degree of inspiration, originality and good taste will make you have part of the battle won.
Observe the details of their surroundings, nature, art and, above all, the work of other creators on the Web.

Suremoneyng Investment Review: Legit or Scam

What is Suremoneyng Investment? Suremoneyng Investment is a funding network, can also be called a Ponzi Scheme because of its operation, However Suremoneyng investment platform promises investors 100% profit on their investment. The first investment gets this 100% after 5 days. What’s more is that Suremoneyng investment allows users to withdraw only the profit amount and then capital when you cycle out. However, there is something I want you to know that majority of the people don’t realize. Suremoney says you get 100% profit on your first investment, but I say no. This is because the system does not allow you to withdraw both your capital and profit at once, when  due until you reinvest. Now, your investment can be anything from N5,000 to N50,000. You are also not allowed to make re-commitments lower than what you invested before. That is, if you invest 10,000 at start, the least amount of re-commitment is 10,000. But you are free to increase your investment. HOW DOES SUREMONEYNG ...

Dreams And Goals

A dream  or vision chart is a picture you can create using newspaper or magazine clippings that represent your dream, such as quotes or pictures and paste them onto a board. In this post I show you how to create your very own dream or vision chart.   Dreams V’s Goals   Dreams differ from goals in that your Dreams are your big goals. For example retire at 40, travel the world.  These are your dreams. How you get there are your smaller goals. Obviously only you can decide what you want your Dreams to be, but here we look at how you can make them real. How you can make them real is by using a technique called visualisation. This is where you ‘see’ your Dreams through pictures and words – it’s about making your dreams ‘real’ by grouping together pictures of the things that represent your dreams to you. Let me demonstrate this for you. Say you want to buy a new car. Let’s say it’s a BMW. Suddenly, every car you see on the road is a BMW.   Funny thing is, yo...
