The Use Of JavaScript In Web Design

posted on: April 14th, 2010

JavaScript is a programming language used on web pages to carry out a variety of actions. Sometimes a web design calls for interactive elements. These generally comprise such commonly used features as images which change when the mouse moves over them. JavaScript essentially provides a reaction when a visitor does something specific. Some sites display the date, time and a suitable welcome message such as 'Good morning' using JavaScript. It is also the programming language behind pop-up windows. JavaScript can be used to perform calculations or to generate random content, enabling images on a page to be rotated. It is useful for creating forms, shifting the focus on to the first text field and saving visitors the trouble of clicking on it. It can then be employed to validate any text entered, providing error messages when a box is left empty or filled in incorrectly. Another handy JavaScript option for form creation is the ability to disable a box or button unless another necessary action has been carried out beforehand. JavaScript can be used for breadcrumb navigation menus which tell visitors exactly where they are, facilitating the process of moving around a site. Many scripts have already been written and are freely available on the Web so it may not be necessary to write one from scratch. For features that are essential in order for visitors to use a site JavaScript should not be used as it could be disabled in some browsers. At Click Consult our web development team is experienced in using JavaScript in many varying forms of web marketing.

Details Make A Difference

posted on: April 6th, 2010

All too often, web development takes place under time constraints that lead to some of the details being overlooked. Unfortunately, rushing through the main parts of a project in order to answer the basic brief can lead to websites that never quite fulfil their potential. Long term, it may be a better strategy to put in a little extra time to complete a design down to the finer points. Their inclusion could have a disproportionately large and positive effect on the finished website. As well as spending additional hours to ensure none of the essential finishing touches are missing, it makes sense to check for errors and inconsistencies. The best designers proofread their pages and try to see them from the many different angles that a visitor might, ensuring that nothing has been forgotten. No matter how brilliant the design, the presence of a few spelling mistakes on a page can lower the perception of quality. Sudden changes of font or text size that break the overall flow of the design not only appear jarring but may also cause confusion. The designer who makes sure their work is always slightly above average is the one to whom clients will return, knowing that their work is in safe hands. The alternative - a more casual approach where the odd mistake slips through and occasional details are left out - is likely to lead to a decrease in regular work. At Click Consult the careful and thorough approach of our web design team means you can rely on us for your internet marketing campaign.
