3 questions that you should always ask yourself when designing a website:
- What is the purpose of the website?
- Who is the target audience?
- What do the target audience need? Why going on website?
How to get answers of these questions:
- Researching like minded people to see how they are tackling and what including on a department.
- Focus groups
- You will never be the target audience for a website.
Common characteristics between all websites:
- Navigation
- Type
- Image
= a fully working website.
Limitations of designing for web:
- Size - design for lowest common denominator.
- Resolution - big difference in displays nowadays - PPI - 72dpi - internet was created on apple map, these screens had 72 pixels per inch. because was created on apple mac, everything was designed for the computer and for the 72 dpi as this is what the apple mac had. 96ppi is the new web design DPI. Retina is now 227 ppi.
- Font used - have to pay a license to use all fonts. WEBSAFE fonts. Use the font family within website design, fonts arent embedded into the file, so if one is missing it will select one from the font family. Make font as an image.
- Colour - colour mode RGB - every screen has different variations. WEBSAFE COLOUR. Hexadecimal colour code - how you specify colour for web design.
