How to create beautiful web pages

I. Webpage Design and webpage Creation

First, let's define the two:

Webpage Design = webpage technology + Webpage Design

Webpage creation = webpage Technology

The only difference between the two lies in the word "design. What is the difference between the two?

When talking about the differences between design and production, I had to mention some things I had encountered in my daily life. When one of my friends made a website and asked me for comments, I said that you should make the web page more beautiful. He immediately replied, why is it beautiful? My website is used to make money, not for students to watch and play ...... What else can you say in the face of a well-justified answer?

Let's take another example first. during the Cultural Revolution, Everyone wore the same style of clothes and hats. At that time, if a clothing designer said to them: hi, why don't you wear fusion? No one will do it? Do you want me to design one for you? At this time, their answers will certainly be the same as those of my friends: What is the purpose of clothing to keep warm? After listening to the two striking similarity examples above, should you feel the most essential thing in web design?

Can we come to the conclusion that design itself is the inevitable outcome of a highly commercialized society? When two manufacturers with the same specifications produce similar products with similar conditions, how can they promote products and deepen their corporate image, as a result, the enterprise Identification System (CIS) is constantly recognized, accepted, and mature by the market. No one doubts the importance of CIS or the necessity of its existence.

Through the CIS development process, we can vaguely see a path to development of web design: the initial stage of the Internet is also the portal phase, just like the New World, there are no competitors, so we don't need to consider any details. We don't need to worry about design or even the content. By the second stage, websites of the same type will gradually increase, the conflict of interests among each other is becoming increasingly fierce. At this time, the website needs to develop content, that is, their products (information). This is the era of content-oriented and functional competition; in the third stage, when the overall design of the website truly plays its role, when everyone has content, how to arrange the content more reasonably and how to highlight the topic more rationally, if you reflect the brand of your website more rationally, you cannot wait for it. At this time, whoever has an excellent overall website design scheme will be able to stand out from other similar websites.

2. Is it so easy to build a website?

Maybe there are too many online worms for personal sites. With the hype of related technologies and magazines, it seems easier to build websites in the eyes of ordinary people than to cook, taking FrontPage as a personal website with only resumes and hobbies is a task of thumb up. In the early stages of the development of the Chinese Internet, almost all websites were constructed very easily and the implementation was very difficult, there are few things to consider. However, as the website continues to run commercially, it becomes more and more complex and the topic is getting heavier and heavier. Let's take a look at the current real website creation process:

Site positioning> planning scheme> data collection> site framework Settings> site process definition> Framework Sketch on all levels of column pages> sample charts on all levels of column pages> Create Page Templates> static page creation/background programs development (available at the same time)> page integration> LAN debugging> release (upload/server configuration/database configuration)> WWW debugging> official release> permanent maintenance (until the website goes bankrupt ).

Different types of professionals are required to complete each step of the preceding steps. Some professionals often need to collaborate with each other. Those documents are not too thin books. We also need to consider detailed documents on how to maintain/divide labor and cooperation. It can be seen that this is a system project. When someone is really involved in the construction of a quasi-commercial site as a part of it, then he will never say that "everyone will build the site...

3. What is the status of web designers in China?

The only article raised a very good question to everyone. I have been working in this industry for two years. Many of my friends said, "Oh, he made a webpage at the company ......".

We know that in the computer industry, there is a clear watershed: programmers and designers, who once met a programmer and said proudly to me: you use Dreamweaver, we developed Dreamweaver ...... At that time, I only wanted to answer his question: "...... You don't use Dreamweaver better than me, and what's worse is that you cannot develop software like Dreamweaver ......", Now it is too naive to think about such a question and such an answer. There is no need to compare the two. They are two different fields. Therefore, there is no high or low relationship between the two. So why is the salary of programmers generally higher than that of designers? (I don't know if the salary of a good web design and a good web programer in foreign countries also exists ?), I think this is determined by the company's needs (or market needs). Simply put, that is, the company now focuses more on the development of website programs, the design part of the website does not need to be very strong, so of course programmers should be better at the company (or industry) than designers...

Therefore, only the Internet in China has entered the third stage described above. When a web designer is really needed, the status of the web designer in China will be recognized and recognized.

4. What should we do?

The evolution of the market takes time to complete. One person or company is powerless. So what should web designers do now? I would like to give you some suggestions here. First, you must have clear goals. Do you need to know what you want to do in the future? And is it qualified for this profession? Then, we can determine the technologies we should master based on this goal and arm ourselves in an all-round way from now on.

The advice I always give to my friends is: as a person, you cannot grasp how the society develops, for example, how the company will develop. The only thing you can grasp is yourself! So constantly improve yourself!

If you really want to be a good web designer, you should really learn some designs. You should: "read more, think more, practice more, talk less nonsense ......" More and more graphic designers are transforming to web design. They have the foundation of design, and the only thing they lack is technology. So everyone has the opportunity, A real web designer must be a combination of web technology experts and design experts. This is the best explanation for web designers!
