At their best Web site designs are understandable, useful
and supportive. They lie at the surface, providing visual
foundations that represent and signify the meaning of information
in all of its abundance.
Web design starts with the bare essentials. It serves
an inherently practical purpose and requires no embellishment
to perform its task adequately. That was the original intent
of HTML. Yet we seem to enjoy the experience of using attractively
designed Web interfaces, as well those that are simply easy
to use. It is human nature to try to make even mundane
tasks a little more enjoyable.
Web design is a sophisticated decorative art applied
to practical communication principles. It bridges the
gap between information and people seeking to understand
information by translating structural and decorative code
into comprehensible and meaningful terms. Good Web designs
promote understanding by gently facilitating a user's experience
of understanding. Check out Word-Builder's portfolio below.
