Tuesday Thoughts – Web Design & CSS
September 8, 2009 - No Comments
In this day and age, there is more focus on great web design than just pure functionality. In the early days of the Web, we saw websites that weren’t exactly masterpieces in the art world sense, but they were highly functional (at the time). Now we fastforward to 2009 and the trend we’re seeing is a high focus on the aesthetics of web design rather than just how the site functions. In my humble opinion, this is an excellent thing due to advancements in not only the web technologies or coding languages being utilized.
My favorite coding language, if you will, being a designer, is CSS or Cascading Style Sheets. This allows designers to design to their heart’s content knowing that with CSS all those fancy designs can become reality. I, like many of you, design and code my own websites. This gives me a better insight into any possible limitations of design and the actual code going behind the code. This also allows me to design, code and place that code into various popular CMS or content management systems for easy updates to the website. CMS usage allows me to build more websites, faster because I don’t always have to manually manipulate the code to change content as we had to do years ago with pure static sites.
Just about anything you could dream up can become reality using the right technology and it’s all right at our fingertips, literally.
