Common Web Design Myths
Many web designers believe that including flash, graphics,
animation and colors in a website will make it look beautiful. This article
tries to uncover such myths. Read on to know the truth.
The power of the World Wide Web
to liberate people, by providing information and services in a way best suited
to them, is immense. The Web can make activities like shopping, finding out the
latest news, education and communication, much easier for all of us. However,
there are many myths surrounding accessible and credible web design following
points aim to dispel some of them.
(1)
Use of maximum colors will help in making the site beautiful
Pleasing website design is
important to attract a web visitor, but a website design need not be a rainbow.
Research proves that myriad of colors may spoil the outlook of website. Also
there are chances of these web visitors getting irritated with the use of too
many colors. So the website designer should always use the colors that go well
with the theme and purpose of the website.
(2)
Adding too much graphics is helpful
It is true that graphics will
make communication easier, but over use of graphics may make it difficult. The
page carrying heavy graphics takes lot of time to load. Web design which is
spun around simple and easily loading graphics is always loved by the visitor.
(3)
Flash is necessary to add attractiveness to the website
Flash is extensively used to create
advertisement banners and animations during website design. Flash banners can
serve their desired purpose only if they are used efficiently and frugally. As
these flash banners may add believability to particular web design, but they
have many disadvantages as well. Flash
banners can be easily downloaded only if you are connected to high speed
connection. Web designer should remember that not all people have flash
pluggins installed in their computer so people may lose their patience if they
are asked to download pluggins first to view your site. So web developer should
provide the option of non-flash version along with the flash version, which
allows the web visitor to browse through the information.

Website will look same in all browsers
Even after designing some successful websites
many web developers love to believe that the website will look same everywhere
as it appears on their PC. However in reality, different website browsers
perceive HTML pages in different manner.
So website developer should always make sure that the website is
optimized with web standards adopted by different browsers.
Also the web resolution varies
from PC to PC. Some may prefer to view the website in 1024 X 768 resolutions
whereas some may view the website in 800 X 600 resolutions. Most of the web
visitors love to view the website in 800 X 600 resolutions, so the web designer
should ensure that the website looks good even in that resolution.
So, breaking a few myths , it’s
time to enter the real and fascinating world of Website Designing.
