Basic skill for web designer
The website represents the easiest and fastest way to publicize organizations, people and companies. These mediums become very favorite now because they will quickly become good for and / or contrary. The website helps to build the image of the company, but in the development phase care must be taken when determining the design and the web content.
In the development phase some standard knowledge and skills are required for the website to boost the image of the company. This article base for beginners to start developing and building the website and start entering the new dimension that can improve your skills and your earnings.
To get started, you need to know and master some knowledge / software below:
1 website planning
The first step in planning web pages begins with gathering information and the result is a “site map”. Then lay out the page layout on the first and second pages. In this step, you need to learn about some component like navigation, content, image plan, copyright (footer), etc. Software we regularly use: Microsoft Visio and I always use Conceptdraw Webwave ( http://www.conceptdraw.com).
2.Web page design
In the second step we continue designing the planning with a special software, you must learn about typografi (chosen the best font), organize the page layout (master the division of the page), color (master the concept of color and the theory of mix of colors). We always use Adobe Photoshop, a lot of free tutorials that you can find on the Internet under the keyword “photoshop tutorial for web”. For your exercise we have provided you with a website namely “http://www.dokumenkerja.com“, you can download download and modify the website you want.
3.Web software authorization
Next, we need web authoring software like Adobe Dreamweaver to create an html page. In addition to Dreamweaver, some designers used Microsoft Frontpage. As well as Photoshop to learn Dreamweaver, we can look for free tutorials on the Internet. Or you can buy some books for Dreamweaver or Frontpage at the bookstore.
4. make interactivity
Without interactivity, a website is simply an online book. Interactive sites capture user details online and monitor what users are doing within the system. The more visitors that can interact and “do things” on the site, the more likely they are to visit it again. To do this, you can learn about web programming like php and asp.
5. Make video, flash, shock waves and audio
We always develop video, flash, shocwave and audio with Adobe Flash. This makes the website look more pleasant and powerful.
These are the basic skills that you must know to be a great web designer and to become the expert who needs an internship and to get the real project in the development of a website. Have a nice experiment in website design.
