Web Designing

Website Designing

Introduction:

Website designing or web designing: A technique to create a website is called web designing.

There are mainly two section of web designing.

(1) Front end       (2) Back End

Front end: All visible and designing part of website is called front end.

Back End: All invisible and database part of website is called back end.


Front End

#Now we learn front end web designing.

Website: A website is a collection of web pages, data and information about a particular subject or certain individual or any organization which is available on the internet. A website connected through a system of hyperlinks, hosted by a web server in a particular domain.

Web page: A web page is an electronic document that typically contains several types of information.

Home page: A home page is the main page of a website that typically serves as an index or table of contents to other web pages. When users visit a website usually they see the first web page called home page.

Tools for the web designing:

Code: We use many type of codes to create web pages. Like html codes, css codes, JavaScript codes, etc.

Code editor: We can use any text editor like notepad, notepad++ or code editor like Visual Studio Code to write codes

Preview (To see result): We can use any web browser like Chrome, Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, etc to see the output result.

Web Designing and Web Development are two distinct but closely related disciplines involved in creating websites and web applications. Here’s a breakdown of each:Web Designing: Purpose:Focus: Primarily concerns the visual and user-facing aspects of a website. Goal: Aims to create an aesthetically pleasing and user-friendly interface that engages and retains visitors. Key Aspects:Graphic Design: Includes layout design, color scheme selection, typography, and use of images and icons. User Interface (UI) Design: Focuses on designing interactive elements like buttons, menus, and forms to ensure intuitive navigation. User Experience (UX) Design: Involves enhancing usability and accessibility to optimize how users interact with and perceive the website. Prototyping and Wireframing: Used to visualize and plan the structure and functionality of web pages. Tools and Software:Graphic Design Tools: Adobe Photoshop, Sketch, Adobe Illustrator for creating visual elements. Prototyping Tools: Adobe XD, Figma, InVision for creating interactive prototypes. Code Editors: Used for writing HTML, CSS, and sometimes JavaScript. Output:Deliverables: Design mockups, prototypes, style guides, and assets (like images and icons) that guide the visual appearance of the website. Web Development: Purpose:Focus: Involves building the technical structure and functionality of a website or web application. Goal: Creates the underlying codebase and implements features that make the website interactive, dynamic, and functional. Key Aspects:Front-End Development: Focuses on the client-side aspects of the website, including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and frameworks/libraries like React, Vue.js, or Angular. Back-End Development: Involves server-side scripting and databases to handle data processing, user authentication, and server communication. Technologies include PHP, Python (Django), Ruby (Rails), Node.js, etc. Full-Stack Development: Combines both front-end and back-end development to create fully functional web applications. Tools and Software:Code Editors/IDEs: Visual Studio Code, Sublime Text, Atom, WebStorm for writing and debugging code. Version Control: Git, GitHub, GitLab for managing code versions and collaboration. Frameworks and Libraries: Bootstrap, jQuery, Express.js, Laravel, Django, etc., to speed up development and provide additional functionalities. Output:Deliverables: Functional website/web application with interactive features, server-side logic, and database integration. Collaboration and Interaction: Workflow: Web designers and developers often collaborate closely throughout the project lifecycle, from initial concept and design to development, testing, and deployment. Integration: Designers provide design assets and guidelines, while developers translate these into functional code, ensuring consistency and adherence to design principles. Iterative Process: Both disciplines often iterate and refine their work based on feedback, user testing, and performance analysis to achieve the best possible outcome. Conclusion: While web designing and web development have distinct focuses and skill sets, they are interconnected and essential for creating successful websites and web applications. Designing ensures a visually appealing and user-friendly interface, while development brings the design to life with functionality, interactivity, and data handling capabilities. Together, they contribute to delivering a seamless and engaging user experience on the web.
