subject: Four Essentials Of Web Design [print this page] Even you know that you do not have the potential customer, and if you think that no one is going to ever visit the site or you even like the concept of redesigning. Think this: there is only one user that you really require to accommodate i.e. Google, he cannot see anything but still ignore it at your own risk. Let us examine the four essential custom web application design practices:
1.Valid code
Most of the manufactured items are made with some kind of standard. For example will you purchase the car which does not correspond to design rules? Will you buy a house that does not fulfill with the local building code? And will you buy a toaster that does not comply with the basic safety norms? There is hardly any doubt in this, standard exists for the reasons, and it is really unprofessional to ignore them. W3C HTML validation must be the standard part for the quality assurance. The basic point is that if the page does not, it must be for the reason.
2.Accessible code
The basics that cause problem: the title element must have the depiction of the precise page, just not only the name of the company but also brand identity design of that company. Also ensure that the site can be navigated with the keyboard, if you got a navigation that needs onhover or onclick, than just ensure that you include the link code. In the same way, select and go menu is not possible to use by a screen reader, if for the navigation you use the combo box, then use the separate go button to start the choice. Also use the high contrasting colors.
3.Separating the Content from the Presentation
It means that the HTML has no presentation; it describes nothing how it looks. Therefore all the instructions would be followed in the part of CSS.
4.Correct code (Semantically)
Semantics is the relationship between symbols and signs and also the meaning they represent. We should look for certain things for example: title, it must describe the specific page; to must be used to define the document into the evocative pieces. Declare the topic that the paragraphs would address and with the images you can use ALT to give details to the image who cannot see it.
