The Language that is Web Design

(No Ratings Yet)

Filed under: About Web Design by Nathan @ 10:19 am

The type of website you create depends on the language you want to use. There are a host of languages available for creating web pages, so may need to do a little research first. The simplest form is Hypertext Markup Language, or HTML. HTML is fabulously easy to use, but you will only be able to create simple static websites, and you may need a different language if you want something more dynamic.

Dynamic vs. Static

Web pages are classified as either static or dynamic. A static web page does not change its content or layout unless it is manually updated by either a web master or a programmer.

Dynamic web pages on the other hand adapt their content or appearance on the input or integration of end users, or by changes that are made within the computer’s environment, for example by modifying a database. Content can also be changed via the end users computer by using scripting languages, like JavaScript for instance.

The design of a web page includes conceptualisation, planning, modelling and execution of content via the Internet in the form of markup languages. These can then be interpreted and displayed by web browsers or other web based user interfaces.

The intent of web design is to create a collection of electronic files that reside on a web server. A web site shows this content to the end user in the form of web pages and can include text, images, forms and the like. These are placed on web pages via the use languages, for example HTML. If more complex media files are required on the web page, these are placed on the page using different languages like Flash, QuickTime or Java etc.
