Introduction to Web Design

 
 
 

With the ever growing awareness to have a presence on the internet world, from corporation to individuals, every one would like to a personal website to provide and share information. As its spans across business to personal needs, the desiginng work is fast becoming a customised field. This is evident when we compare a website of a corporation that has simple and easy navigation as their basis to a rock star that would have animation, creative colours, audio and video .Technology in this area is also moving fast with the introduction of flash video streaming recently.

There are many technical jargons mentioned during discussions of web development, some of it are HTML,DHTML,XML,ASP,PHP,CSS,JAVA,FLASH,PERL and many others. It does not augur well to non technical individuals who want matters to be related in a lay man term.

To over simplify matters, Web Development consist of three major areas namely Domain, Hosting and Web development itself. Domain or URL is a unique name that specifies your personal website, for example www.sixus.com.my takes you directly to the web page of SIXUS TECHNOLOGY SDN. BHD.. This domain name however is controlled by a regulatory body to ensure there is no conflict in domain names. Its first come first serve basis and has to be renewed periodically.

Once the domain is set, it has to be pointed to a server. This server is where the web page files are stored. Placing the files onto the server is known as hosting. Hosting can be done in several ways, either by renting a server space from a hosting company or even setting up our own web server.

Web Development is a stage where the web page is actually created. Files from here would be transferred onto a web server upon completion.
