Web designing is a skill of creating websites using HTML, CSS, JavaScript and other web languages that are delivered to an end-user through World Wide Web. In simple words it is the process of planning, modeling and forming an approach as well as executing content delivery through the Internet. The intent of web design is to create a website which includes text, images, sound, colors and other interactive content. All of these features are combined with the principles of design to create a website that meets the goals of the owner and designer. You can use any one web designing software to create a website design from the below mentioned:

1) Adobe Photoshop

2) Adobe Illustrator

Web page is a single HTML document and a website is a collection of web pages. Layout for web page is very important. With poor layouts it is difficult to navigate and hard to locate information for page. In the online world, it plays vital role in enhancing business by connecting new customer from the world and will help you create an everlasting impression.

The website must be portable across different web browsers, OS and computer hardware. Test your website in different browsers such Firefox, Opera, Google chrome, Internet Explorer, because certain features of HTML such as CSS cannot be interpreted properly by certain browsers.

A good website design goes a long way when it comes to promoting your products. Proper presentation of your website is very important in internet marketing. You must make sure that your website is appealing to the viewers. It is always better to identify essential resources such as budget, time, personnel, materials etc. The people view the website for a specific reason so it is necessary to have a clear defined purpose or goal of the site, which helps in understanding of visitors want.

Types of web pages

1. Static website designing is a kind of web site design which is ideal for small businesses where all the web pages are static and the web site is mainly designed to provide information to the visitors.

2. Dynamic website designing is capable of handling web sites which involve great amount of interactivity and dynamic features.

Principles of web designing

By applying following basic design principles these we can improve the design of our web pages. They show you how to put together design elements in an effective manner. These principles are -

1. Alignment– Items on the webpage should be lined with each other.

2. Proximity - Relationships those items develop when they are close together. Three tools of proximity are grouping, containment and whitespace.

3. Contrast - What draws your eyes onto the page? Contrasting elements guide your eyes into the page, create a hierarchy of information.

4. Rhythm and Repetition - Associate elements by repeating a common stylistic feature or arrangement that ties all the disparate parts together.

5. Spelling - Bad spelling and bad grammar can destroy the professional effect of your web site. Always use spell checker.

Website Design Tips to Make Your Site More Attractive:

1. Grid - Grids are the tables consisting of rows and columns that help you “compartmentalize” a design. Columns improve readability, making a page’s content easier to absorb. Use of the Rule of Thirds makes everything easier on the eye.

2. Content – Information provided in the website should be well organized, spell checked and should match the purpose.

3. Color - Be aware during selection of the colors scheme. Provide sufficient contrast between background and text. Always limit your font colors - "hot" colors (like bright pink and orange) are less professional for business sites. Primary colors (red, blue, green) might be best suited for sites that appeal to children. Black backgrounds can give a "hard edge" to a site or make it seem "gloomy" or counterculture.

4. Strong Typography - Typography has played a major role in Web design for years now. A website should use sans serif or serif typefaces, not a combination of the two. Use the same general style throughout. It’s important to consider things like font choices, font sizes, and line length.

5. Navigation Tools – They can be selected from text links, icons, buttons, bars and other graphical elements. Organized them logically and predictably. Provide clear, simple, quick and consistent method to move within the site. Use the same navigation on all pages for uniformity.

6. Graphics – Images are the most fun part of web pages. Graphics should be essential, and relevant to the content of the page. Use images wisely and keep file size small for fast download.

7. Spacing - Spacing makes things clearer. You should also consider spacing between letters, though on the Web this is of less importance, as you don’t have that much control. In Web design there are three aspects of space that you should be considering: line spacing, white space, and padding.

Important Colors Names and Color Codes in HTML

Colors is most valuable things in our life. Without colors be cannot express our ideas . In electronic things (TV and computer display) use of RGB colors ( Red, Green, Blue). In HTML use of color name with codes. When in HTML methods describing and specifying those colors output in web page show colors. 

In HTML colors write to use with proper hex and colors (as like for put white color in our web page be have to write code #ffffff )and it colors code use in CSS property with HTML. CSS property be use for a particular situation will depend on what it is you're applying color to. 
 

For example

In CSS properties use of two types foreground-color property (for applying color to an element's text ) and background-color property (for applying color to an element's background).

HTML Color Name :-

HTML Color codes :-

 

RGB (Red, Green, Blue):

With HTML, RGB color values can be specified using this formula: RGB (red, green, blue).Each parameter (red, green, and blue) defines the intensity of the color between 0 and 255.

CSS Coding for Colors :-

!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<body>

    <h2 style="background-color:red">

    Background-color set by using red

    </h2>

  Background-color set by using blue

    </h2>

    <h2 style="background-color:cyan">

  Background-color set by using cyan

    </h2>

</body>

</html> 

CSS Coding for Colors (output) :-

Background-color set by using red
Background-color set by using orange
Background-color set by using yellow
Background-color set by using blue  
Background-color set by using cyane

CSS supports140 standard color names.  

Transform Functions in CSS3

CSS 3 transform property changes the coordinate position of CSS. By this property element can be translated,rotated, scaled, skews .

The transform functions include:

translate()

The translate(x, y) function is similar to relative positioning, translating, or relocating, an element by x from the left, and y from the top.

translateX()

The translateX(x) function is similar to the translate() function above, but only the left/right value is specified.

translateY()

The translateY(y) function is similar to the translate() function above, but only the top/bottom value is specified.

scale()

The scale(w, h) property scales an element by w width and h height. If only one value is declared, the scaling will be proportional. Since you likely don’t want to distort an element, you’ll generally see only one parameter in this transform function.

scaleX()

The scalex(w) function is similar to the scale() function above, but only the width value is specified. It is the same as declaring scale(w, 1).

scaleY()

The scaley(y) function is similar to the scale() function above, but only the height value is specified. It is the same as declaring scale(1, h)

rotate()

The rotate(angle) function with rotate an element about the point of origin (described below) but the angle value specified.

skew()

The skew(x,y) function specifies a skew along the X and Y axes. The x specifies the skew on the x-axis, the y specifies the skew on the y-axis. If there is only one parameter, then it’s the same as skew(x, 0), or skewX(x) . The values are angles: degrees, turns or grads.

skewX()

The skewx(x) function is similar to the skew() value above, but only the x-axis value is specified. It is the same as declaring skew(x,0).

skewY()

The skewy(y) function is similar to the skew() value above, but only the y-axis value is specified. It is the same as declaring skew(0,y).

The elements styled with CSS3 can be transformed in 2D or 3D space using CSS transform functions. CSS3 is a useful language to describe the rendering of structured documents like (HTML5 and XML) on screen, on paper etc.

Practical Differences in Opacity and Alpha in CSS3

Both Opacity and Alpha refers to the same feature: the level of transparency. However, their usage and effect is very different.

1.The “Opacity” means the transparency of an element. “RGBA” stands for Red Green Blue Alpha. RGB will set the color of an object and “Alpha” sets the level of opacity.

2. Opacity is a property. Alpha is the one of the components of RGBA.

3. Opacity affects the entire element (including child elements) on which it is applied, whereas Alpha value will affect the color and level of transparency of the object where it is applied. This can be further explained with below example.

Example:-

 If a square is made and text is written inside the square and Opacity property is applied, then depending upon the opacity values, transparency effect will be reflected on entire element i.e. both on the shape as well as text. (See Figure 1.)

                                                 Figure 1. Opacity Example

Whereas if the same square and text is made and “Alpha” effect in RGBA is applied then only square will be affected and square color will be changed depending upon the alpha values. Text will remain unaffected. (See Figure 2.)

4. The value of Opacity and Alpha can be an integer or decimal depending upon the values taken between 0-1.

VALUE	MEANING
0	Element would be fully transparent
Any value between 0 (eg. 0.5) and 1	Element would be translucent.
1	Element would be fully opaque

Uses of HTML and CSS in Web Design

If you want to make your career in web designing then you must have to apply some extra efforts to learn to create rich featured and highly interactive websites rather than learning the basics of website designing because that can only enable to create a first stage simple website.

The quality of professional web designers is that they are expert in programming and designing both. We can also say that professional web designers are those that can balance both creative and artistic sides by using their creative skills and coding knowledge.

The two most important web design elements are HTML and CSS and these are widely used in web designing industry today. Generally all the websites on the internet use HTML and CSS, So in-depth knowledge of technology basics is very important for any web designer. Since early days of web design, HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is a widely used language for the professional websites. HTML is quite confusing for someone who has no experience using it. Basically HTML is a language or code that used to edit and position the text, image, videos, frames, color, background and other web page elements with the help of a style sheet i.e. CSS or Cascading Style Sheet.

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is an important element to manage the presentation of web pages created using HTML. CSS controls the position of the text, images, background, color, margin, padding, z-index, scrolling, animation, layout etc. of web pages. CSS3 has come up with the few most advanced and useful features recently such as transitions, animations, font embedding, and pseudo selectors.

HTML VS CSS:

• HTML is still perfect type of coding for the main pages of website whereas CSS is not really take the place of HTML. It is just used for the enhancement.
• HTML is useful as a data structure for the web pages whereas CSS is helpful in managing website’s look and feel.
• HTML allows you to put text, image, audios, videos, frames, color, background etc whereas font size, font color, font type, styling around images, page layout, mouse-over and many more effects are determined by the CSS.

Your first code HTML and CSS Code

HTML is a predefined tag based programming meaning you have to use all the already defined tags to put your data in a web page.

Following is the HTML code and hope it will give you enough idea. Copy this code and paste in a file and save that file as doc.html.

<html>

          <head>

          <title> Title of the page goes here! </title>

<link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” href=”style.css” />

</head>

<body>

          Your HTML code goes here.

          <p class=”paraClass”>Para element</p>

          <p id=”paraId”>Para element</p>

</body>

</html>

As we discussed CSS is used to handle presentation of the web page meaning CSS styles and manages HTML elements that you use to create a web page.

Following is a sample code of CSS:

Copy the following code and paste in a file and save that file as style.css. Don’t forget to keep this file in the same folder where your doc.html file is.

In CSS file you can write class and id both rules and later you can use them in your HTML document.

.paraClass{ color: ‘#ff0000’;} //wherever you will apply this class the text color inside that element will be changed to red in HTML document.

#paraId{ background-color:’#00ff00’;} // add this id selector to an html element and you can change the background color of that to green.
