THE FUTURE OF WEB DESIGN
Just what is the future of web design?
The
future of web design is a hot topic right now, with many designers
voicing their hopes and wishful thinking; some realistic and some
bizarrely out there. Let’s start with a bit of perspective by refreshing
our minds to web design in past, old trends and styles.
The Verdict
The good the bad and the ugly:
Historically the websites
that were attractive to look at and easy to use were sparse generally
owned by the big companies, the ones who had the money to employ people
with design experience to make their websites for them.
There was very little
community feedback from users in the past compared to today's plethora
of blogs and social networking (excluding your treasured guest book
entries of course). So average users seemed to focus on making websites
mainly for themselves and close friends or family not mass consumption.
WHERE WE ARE NOW
Social Networking
Social media is the in
thing at the moment, users of the web want interaction and want to
voice their opinions. As of the beginning of 2011, Facebook has
500,000,000 users, that's about 1 in every 13 people on earth. Everybody
has their use for social media websites, whether it’s keeping in
touch with friends, promoting your business, following your favourite
celebrities or an array of other uses.
Blogging & Content Management
The static website is
dying, long live Content Management Systems! Todays web designers start
most of their projects by heading to wordpress.org or their CMS of
choice’s website to download the latest version of the software that
will be the base of their project.
Using free blank themes such as: BLANK, Whiteboard and Starkers for Wordpress; designers can start with a clean slate and build their designs around the workings of the CMS.
High Quality Templates
Pre-made website
templates have always been around, but with the popularity of Content
Management Systems today getting a website online is a lot more
accessible for average users and this works in advantage of the
designer, especially for those designers who make their living building
ultra high quality premium templates.
The result of this is a
veritable smorgasbord of beautiful templates for your blog, CMS or
online store just waiting to be installed.
Accessibility and Usability
Usability has been a buzz
word in the web design industry for a long time now, so long in fact
that even clients have cottoned on to it and are telling us which
standards we need to meet, and how they should be easy to use and
coded semantically; well the latter not so much but I'd definitely be a
little better off if I had pound and/or dollar for the amount of times a
client has told me to make it "all web two point oh" and "use The HTML
5"
