Today, with the unprecedented popularity of web, many ideas about web design will become a topic. Some agree quickly, while others remain controversial. This article describes the five classic disputes in web design, since the day they were born, these disputes have been won by both sides.

One of the disputes: whether the link should open a square in a new window:

External links should always be opened in a new window. When you browse a site, you click a link and are taken to another site. Therefore, your session on this site is lost, this is really annoying. Therefore, links in the site can be opened in the existing window, while external links should be opened in the new window.

Countermeasure:

As a web designer, we should not control user behavior. Whether a link is opened in a new window should be the user's choice. It is really annoying to deprive the user of control and open a bunch of windows or labels on the user's desktop. If users want to open a new window, they can choose their own, and for non-skilled users, the new window makes them lose the back button, making them more at a loss.

Hooligan:

In general, do not use a new window to open a link, but in some cases, such as opening the help link in the shopping cart and opening a non-HTML file (such as a PDF file), you should use a new window. To improve ease of use, it is best to use a small icon to prompt you where you need to open a new window.

Dispute 2: Should General words such as click here be used in links? Fang:

It turns out that clicking here is easier to get than descriptive links, so you should use this word to get a better click rate.

Countermeasure:

Click here is a type of link that damages the ease of use of the web. before clicking here, you can only guess what the link is doing through the context. Quality Guidelines suggests that any link text should clearly describe the purpose of the link.

Hooligan:

Descriptive links should always be used to improve site accessibility, accessibility, and Seo performance. It is interesting to hear that clicking here can get more click rates than descriptive links. I don't know if those who click here will leave.

 

Dispute 3: Should I continue to use tags B and I? Fang:

If you only want to set a word to bold and it does not emphasize the important meaning, you should use the B label instead of the strong label, the read screen software has different pronunciations for B and I tags, and the HTML5 specification still contains these two tags.

Countermeasure:

The two labels are used to set the text to bold or italic. From the semantic point of view, CSS should be used for any decorative things. If you want to emphasize a word, the strong or em label should be used.

Hooligan:

Labels B and I should not be used to modify the style of text. These visual modifications should be handled by CSS. To emphasize a word or statement, use the strong or em tag. B and I can be considered only when no other labels are available.

Dispute 4: Does the Website Logo appear in the H1 tag?

Fang:

The logo should not be enclosed in the title label. The title label should contain the title or descriptive content of the page, which is the best way for Seo. Otherwise, isn't the title of each page on the site completely changed to the company name?

Countermeasure:

The most obvious logo of a website is its logo, and H1 is the top title of a page. It is natural to enclose the logo, even without CSS, it is easy to understand the structure of the page.

Hooligan:

The title label is used to describe the hierarchical structure of the content. If a site has a title that describes the content of the site, it should be placed in h1. Otherwise, the second-level structure or descriptive object is the logo.

Dispute 5: Should IE6 be supported?

Fang:

IE6 still holds 10% of the market share (higher in China). Therefore, websites should undoubtedly support IE6. There are still many companies in the world that still need to use IE6 for access. In addition, there are still many people who do not know how to upgrade their browsers.

Countermeasure:

IE6 is outdated and does not support the latest web technologies. It brings security risks to online users and is also a nightmare for many web developers. Large websites including YouTube haveDisable IE6 support. You are no exception.

Hooligan:

IE6 is undoubtedly in recession. With the abandonment of large companies, its death may be faster than expected. Whether IE6 is supported depends on the specific situation, you can consider providing the most basic page format for IE6 users without having to struggle with it. (Woodworking Machinery Network)
