According to the FICCI-KPMG Report (2013), the web design
and graphics industry is predicted to grow to Rs. 45,470 crores by the year 2017.
This prediction means that the high demand for web design will amplify; now
that almost every shop and every business, or say, every individual wants a
website of his own, it is touted that the demand for jobs in the sector will
explode. However, the shortage for trained and skilled web designers already
exists and there is currently a huge demand for well qualified professionals in
the field. Web design courses are therefore currently in high demand.
The
Beginning of Web Design
The website era began in 1996 when Microsoft released its
first browser that had its own features, tags and supported style sheets. HTML
markup was initially used for creating tabular data but later on, designers
realized that HTML tables could also be used for the creation of multi-column,
complex layouts that was not possible or not thought to be conceivable earlier.
During those times, aesthetics were given more importance than mark-up
structure and not much attention was directed to web accessibility and
semantics. Websites had very limited design options and for the creation of
complex designs, complicated table structures had to be used. GIF images had to
be used to keep empty cells of the tables from collapsing. Subsequently, CSS
was developed by W3C for supporting the layout and presentation of websites.
Using this, HTML coding language became semantic rather than both
presentational and semantic, making it possible to have a tableless web design
and improved web accessibility. At this time, web design courses were not yet
initiated or were in nascent stage.
During these times, Flash or FutureSplash was developed
which was fairly simple as compared to the present Flash content development
tools. This used basic tools for drawing and layout but enabled designers to go
beyond the limitations posed by JavaScript, GIFs and HTML. However, the
limitation with Flash was that it needed a plug-in and had compatibility
issues. Web developers were therefore avoiding its use out of fear of losing
site visitors because of incompatibility of the website with their browsers. Therefore,
as an alternative, designers went back to animated GIFs and JavaScript widgets.
Flash however grew in popularity because of its functionality in specific markets
and therefore worked its way into a large number of browsers. This also led to
the demand for web design courses.
The best web designing courses in Hyderabad cover various
disciplines and skills that are required for the production as well as
maintenance of a website. The various components of web design courses include
interface design, web graphic design, user experience design, authoring and
search engine optimization. Web designing is often not a one-individual affair
and often requires a number of individuals collaborating in teams to cover
various aspects of the website production process. However, some web designers
are capable of handling all the functions of web designing single handedly. The
term ‘web design’ refers to the process of designing the client-interaction
front-end design of the website which includes writing the mark up coding. A
web designer needs to be skilled in web engineering as well as a broader aspect
of web development and should also have knowledge of usability and web
accessibility to be able to design a website with a flawless user experience. Overall,
web design course implies the planning, creation, production and updation of a
website including its information architecture, user interface, website
structure, navigation ergonomics, colors, fonts, website layout, contrasts,
imagery, icons and accessibility. Although the word ‘design’ may be assumed to
just refer to the visual aspect of a website, this is not true. Web designing is
more than just visual designing but also the usability, layout, navigation
logic, ergonomics, user habits and presentation of information. Some of the
best web designing institutes in Hyderabad run courses covering all these
aspects.
