Web Site Design: How to find the right web designer for your web site and ecommerce web store

WEB DESIGN: Face value is the greatest value. “Web Design” is an umbrella term that creates the face of a web site by conceptualizing and designing the way it should look. The whole process of designing a user interface involves a lot of graphical work to create the look and feel of the website.

Tools/ Technologies used for Web Designing: The whole process of designing a web site involves various tools and technologies. Here are some basics:

Photoshop: This software is used to design the layout of a site in an image form.

Dreamweaver/ Frontpage: These are used to convert the Photoshop image of the layout into HTML, so that it can be seen in a browser.
CSS: Defines the overall styles used all over the web site. Use of CSS saves time and brings uniformity while changing or redefining styles.
Flash: This software is used for animation, slide shows, etc. With this software, one can create movies by drawing or importing artwork.
Adobe Image Ready: While Flash can form movie clips in .swf form or as an object, Adobe Image Ready gives birth to an animated .gif file.
Java Script: This is a client side scripting language used for client or server interaction. Use of Javascript allows client side validation, checking routine tasks like dates, showing or hiding elements of web pages etc.

Other technologies used include actionscript, VB script for advanced features

Components of Web page design: Web page design is a conglomeration of the following components:

Header: This is the top most part of a web page. Alternatively called banner, this part of a web page normally includes the title of the web site with company logo and catch lines
Navigation Bar: The Navigation Bar is very crucial as it contains the names with links to the other pages of the site. The Navigation bar is either placed just below the header or on the left menu panel. Navigation bar allows easy surfing of the site
Body: The body of a web page normally comprises of the content and may have some images, depending on the layout
Right Side Panel: This part of a web page is normally used to display advertisements. But this space can also be designed in other ways depending on the layout and the purpose of the site
Footer: This is the bottom most part of a web page that contains navigation or copyright statement.

Value Adding points of a Web page design: The two most important things on which a web design stands tall or falls flat are as follows:

Graphics: Use of images is important, since images can attract a user at the first go. Use of irrelevant yet glossy pictures can add glamour to the site but not value. This is where a good web designer stands out. A professional web designer looks with a discerning eye and thinks with a smart brain
Color: Proper use of color is very essential and the color needs to be carefully chosen. Professional web designers thoroughly check the product that the web site sells before choosing the colors. Colors are the effective tools to promote a product through a site
