In the past ten years or so, web design and development has transformed the Internet into an exciting and creative communication medium. Far from the static pages that once excited computer experts, we have grown accustomed to voice, movement, design and a host of multimedia effects that now invite viewers. It takes a lot of expertise, time, money and effort to create these effective presentation elements but it is all worth it if it increases traffic and results in order booking at your site. After all, that is the main purpose for which the website has been created.
Historically it must be remembered that Apple Inc. was among the first to concentrate on icons, logos, fonts and designs to create a truly unique and enlivening experience for the user. And this was in the days when Micro Pro and others were releasing WordStar, Multiplan and Lotus 123 as software packages. Compared to the dull look of Microsoft computer program screens, Apple’s definitely looked more creative and exciting. Not only that, interactivity through icons meant that users did not have to learn codes or commands to direct their system or application programs to accomplish tasks. No kidding, Apple made the user experience more personal and more interactive. No wonder that Apple has its own following and still the gap cannot be bridged.
Lately it has been seen that fonts and script designs are once again being given importance in the quest for better web design. Design and development in languages other than English also poses difficulties and challenges, but a lot of programs have been developed to address these issues. The end result should be both beautiful and functional- a feast for the eye, the brain and the heart.
