Website Design is the process where the colors,
fonts, graphics and layout of a webpage or website are established and
drawn up into a sort of “mock-up image”, to be coded and constructed
into actual functioning web page(s) by web developers.
Web design is one of the fastest growing industries in the web development
field, leading many amateurs to believe that they can perform the task
of building a site on their own. However, there’s far more to website
design than meets the eye. Those who aim to impress their site visitors
and attain a high conversion rate (the process of converting those
visitors into paying customers) need a working knowledge of the
following website design components:
- Industry specific layouts, colors, graphics and fonts
- Current search engine optimization (SEO) techniques and trends
- Relevant content creation, including keywords, links, and video production
