subject: A Review Of The Top 3 Web Designing Challenges Of Tomorrow! [print this page] If you are thinking that the top three challenges that I am about to mention have been concluded after a proper consensus among the networking, computer and communications professionals, then let me make it clear that this is not the case. There are several challenges that a web designer faces today and those who are in this field can actually make a lengthy list. In this post, I will talk about the three most popular web designing challenges of the future.
Deciding the standards:
Given the fact that Apple and Adobe are at war, you cannot expect Apple to make its iPhone Flash compatible. Furthermore, according to the new Apple developer kit agreement the application makers are forbidden to use any non-Apple tools to make iPhone apps. This is a blow to Adobe's Creative Studio 5 which includes advanced tools for making Flash-based and other application for Apple's most selling phones. The larger issue that crops up here is that of the standards.
With this sort of war between the associated industries, the ease of use and predictable nature of Web may change. It would create problems for the smaller firms to create various applications for different devices. Some years ago, people would have wondered what web designers have to do with phones. But, today there is an increased use of web surfing through mobile devices. In the absence of a secure and predictable standard, the future of web designing would remain in mist.
The color calibration:
Today there are numerous devices that display Web pages, and this is supposed to increase in the future. However, there is no simple method to ensure the color consistency of these web pages. Just some years ago, it was enough for publishers to come out with two layouts CMYK four-color space for printing and the RGB color space for computer display. With an increased number of displays (LED, OLED, LCD, TFT, etc.) available in the market today, there is much variation in the color display.
Web designers spend considerable amount of time trying to get the variation in color scheme for the different displays. This is a mammoth task. Some others try to develop a single color scheme that will be compatible with the different displays. Unless a new and innovative device independent color calibration standard comes in the picture, web designers have to continue struggling to make the best use of the tools, techniques and technologies available.
Menace caused by different displays:
Apart from the impact on the colors, the different displays also present a problem known as the screen real estate. Mobile web surfing from devices like handhelds, small-screen netbooks, iPads and smartphones is rapidly growing. Some progress has been made in interposing some software routines between the website and the user's display. Though this part of the problem seems to have solved, there are other hi-tech display technologies coming up that can pose a threat for tomorrow. Believe it or not, there is an incredible amount of money going into the display R&D to solve the issues faced by the portable displays. The major issues are related to the way they look under the sun, in shade and in different viewing angles and changing conditions.
Though there are several other challenges faced by web designers today, the three mentioned above (standard, color calibration and different displays) can safely claim to be in the top of the list of any tech-savvy professional. Technology is changing super fast and the complications are likely to increase in future, if the current issues are not properly addressed! So, it's time to do some R&D and come up with solutions to these challenges.
