Basics and beginnings of web design



Web design is one of the essentials of web development, web designers part of the work is to imagine and create/design a web page using images, formatting HTML, standardization and usability of the web page.
Web designing requires a lot of different skills, standards and disciplines which are used in making and maintaining a website. Under term web design we think of web and graphic design, interface design, authoring, standardized coding, user environment and search engine optimization.
While some people cover all of these skills by themselves, most of people usually work in teams for faster production and a more professional approach. To be more precise, word web-design is used to describe the front part (visible part) of a website, while web development takes care of functionality and backend of a website (coding part).

History of web and web design


While web design is a relatively new branch of business, it can be related to graphic design. Year 1989, while working at CERN, Tim Berners Lee announced creating global hypertext transport protocol, which later got more popular name World Wide Web (W3, WWW), and in the period from 1991 to 1993, the World Wide Web was created.
Mark Andreessen and Erik Bina made Mozaic browser back in 1993. There were a lot of different browsers back in the day, and most of them were made for Unix platform, and web pages were highly saturated with text. There was no support for graphic elements like images or sounds, and Mosaic was made to overcome that.
The W3C was founded in October 1994, so it web design could "lead WWW to its full potential through development of assembled protocols, and secure its interoperability". This discouraged companies to take monopoly on web design program languages and browsers. Year 1994 Andreessen founded the company "Netscape Communications" which made their own HTML tags without traditional standardization process. For example, Netscape 1.1 had commands for changing background color and text formatting to charts. During 1996-1999 the first browser wars have begun. Two leading companies, Microsoft and Netscape were fighting for most popular browser on the market. During this period, there were a lot of new technologies in this area, especially with CSS, JavaScript and dynamic HTML.
