What makes a web design superb?

Web designing is a huge canvas especially made for designers. It takes artistic passion and outstanding diligence to come up with one superb web design.

What is superb web design?

Simply, it is a web design that catches the attention of the target visitors. Nonetheless, it does not stop there. It lingers in a way that visitors keep coming for more. A superb web design is both excellent in form and function. Form delves into the aesthetic side of the wed site. Principles of art and the innate skill of the designer are the keys to achieve its excellence. On the other hand, function is the meat of the web site. Every visitor has his or her own purpose in visiting your page. Usually, the reason is to research or to be acquainted with your products and services. Function must be complete and fulfilling. If there is information that needs to be divulged, say it. But the more powerful way to say it is by touching the heart through persuasion.

To be specific, here are some of the rules of thumb in web design:

1. Do not center everything.

The same will just result to a scattered and disorganized look. Try to maximize space. It is there to serve a function. Do not overlook that function.

2. Applying contrast can be your designing edge.

Contrast can be applied with color, size, value and weight of an image. Contrast has something to do with the clearness, brightness and volume of an image, logo or graphics.

3. Sections must be separated.

The contents must be easy to read. To distinguish one section from the other, you can use thin line, borders or light colors. Another option is to use blank buffer zones which is somewhat similar to the concept of borders the only difference is that invisible lines are made to separate the parts of a page.

4.Proofread, edit and edit more.

To make your page functional, make certain that the information is tight and full.
Excellent form plus function makes an excellent web site.

Advantages of Using PHP

History of PHP PHP (it originally was abbreviation of for Personal Home Page) was first written by Rasmus Lerdorf . These were Perl scripts to track users of his Web pages. On communication and suggestions from other people he rewrote it as a scripting language and added support for forms. As its popularity grew, a core group of developers created an API for it and turned it into PHP3. Presently we have version 5. (PHP5) and its growth is likely to continue. Advantages of PHP PHP will run on all platforms, including most UNIXs, Windows (95/98/NT/2000) and Macs. As this uses the same code base, all scripts will run identically on all the platforms. PHP is similar to C. So anyone who has experience with a C-style language will easily learnd PHP. In C-style languages we can also include Javascript and Java. In fact, much of PHP’s functionality is provided by wrappers around the underlying system calls (such as fread() and strlen()) so C programmers will immediately feel at home.
