Web design

Web design is the practice of planning and creating websites’ visual presentation, structure, and user experience. It combines layout, typography, imagery, interaction, and accessibility within the constraints of web technologies.

User interface design: The design of the controls, layouts, and visual elements through which people interact with digital products. Web pages use interface elements to make navigation and actions legible.
Responsive web design: An approach that adapts a website’s layout and content to different screen sizes and devices. It turns a design into layouts that remain usable across viewport widths.
Accessibility: The design of environments and products so people with different abilities can use them. Accessible sites support users who rely on assistive technologies or alternative input.
Web development: The creation and maintenance of websites and web applications through programming and related technical work. It implements site behavior and structure, while web design concentrates on presentation and experience.
Cognitive load: The mental effort required to process information and complete a task. Unclear navigation and dense pages can make websites harder to use.
Information architecture: The organization and labeling of information to help people find and understand it. A site’s page hierarchy and navigation depend on clear information organization.
Grid layout: A two-dimensional system for arranging elements in rows and columns. Grid systems provide predictable alignment for complex page compositions.
Web accessibility: The practice of making websites usable by people with disabilities. It applies accessibility principles directly to web content and interaction.
User experience design: The design of a product or service around the quality of people’s overall interactions with it. UX design spans the full experience, while web design focuses on websites as its medium.
Dark pattern: A user-interface design that steers people toward choices they might not otherwise make. It shows how interface decisions can manipulate rather than support user choices.
