Web design is the skill of creating presentations of content (usually hypertext or hypermedia) that is delivered to an end-user through the World Wide Web, by way of a Web browser or other Web-enabled software like Internet television clients, microblogging clients and RSS readers.
Web design is a kind of graphic design intended for development and styling of objects of the Internet's information environment to provide them with high-end consumer features and aesthetic qualities. The offered definition separates web design from web programming, emphasizing the functional features of a web site, as well as positioning web design as a kind of graphic design.[1]
The process of designing web pages, web sites, web applications or multimedia for the Web may utilize multiple disciplines, such as animation, authoring, communication design, corporate identity, graphic design, human-computer interaction, information architecture, interaction design, marketing, photography, search engine optimization and typography.
• Markup languages (such as HTML, XHTML and XML)
• Style sheet languages (such as CSS and XSL)
• Client-side scripting (such as JavaScript)
• Server-side scripting (such as PHP and ASP)
• Database technologies (such as MySQL and PostgreSQL)
• Multimedia technologies (such as Flash and Silverlight)
Web pages and web sites can be static pages, or can be programmed to be dynamic pages that automatically adapt content or visual appearance depending on a variety of factors, such as input from the end-user, input from the Webmaster or changes in the computing environment (such as the site's associated database having been modified).
With growing specialization within communication design and information technology fields, there is a strong tendency to draw a clear line between web design specifically for web pages and web development for the overall logistics of all web-based services.

by FALADE SEGUN (revised 16, January 2009)
The basic steps involved in developing a web site include creation of the site, pages and navigation on a local computer, uploading the material to an online site, editing the material, and synchronizing your changes.
Questions you may have include:
1. What is required for creating a local site?
2. How do you upload the site?
3. What is the editing process?
This lesson will answer those questions. For more info, see www.moneywealthinfo.blogspot.com
Prerequisite Knowledge
This tutorial series teaches you how to create a full fledged website using Adobe Fireworks CS4 and Adobe Dreamweaver CS4 and thus assumes you are familiar with some design software and HTML editor, even if you are new to Adobe Fireworks CS4 and/or Adobe Dreamweaver CS4. Knowing how websites work and having some knowledge of XHTML and CSS programming, will be an added advantage and should make your task easier. However we have ensured that even a beginner would be able to follow our instructions.
