The web is the most powerful marketing tool in existence for which design has to serve a function. In the growing digital society, web designing is the tool that brings life to the desktop and mobile screens. The usage of web and internet has hit the sky in the last many years, and for the last year 2013 the distinction between the two has vanished.
Owing to the present scenario of web design, the near future has been predicted by many web designers as a short and more or less fantastic story.
The following features are to be expected for web design in future:
Content and simplicity:
The most talked about term for the coming years is “content”, as in the past designers used to focus on the display and graphics and thus ignored the main

The simplification paradigm would contain content, usability, accessibility and visuals to make the site legible and user-friendly.
Agnostics:
The expected future of web design is agnostic in terms of pixels, device, resolution and technology. The term agnostic design refers to the idea that whatever design is made it fits all the devices and technologies that use it. In other words we can use this new hot term as “one size fits all”. The variation in pixels, resolution or devices won’t matter at all because the agnostic design is universal. The device takes the second place and content is brought into first place. The agnostic approach makes the user forget about device while keeping in mind the smallest screen.
Unification of mobile and desktop:
This concept has been unified in a term “Responsive Web Design (RWD)”, another hot term of the future web design, which requires only one website being coded so as to adapt to any screen size irrespective of the device. This would require solving issues of retina images, optimization for speed and performance, and would ultimately lead to the idea of mobile-first to accomplish simplicity

This goes beyond the focus of what designers are trying to achieve in the near future of content access with simplification. However, this concept of tech agnostic is going to be focused as the internet would be accessible on any electronic device irrespective of the technology.
WebGL:
WebGL, web graphics library, is an API that supports 2d and 3D graphics for many devices. This graphics library is going to replace the classical Flash library used in the past and is going to introduce the idea of “flat design” that would support 3D designs. These super productions would lead to web TV and this will be costly I terms of budget for the competing companies.
User Interfaces (UIs):
User interface is the term referring to how the computer or system represents itself to its user. There is going to be a blast innovation in UIs in the near future and these 8 UIs are expected to be:
• Gesture interfaces
• Brain-computer interfaces
• Flexible OLED display
• Augmented reality
• Voice user
Web designers have the job of working alongside clients or organisations to discuss ideas and develop job details and requirements for websites and more recently mobile application development, to provide their end uses a multi-channel window into their systems. They design and develop website content for clients as well as maintaining or coordinating maintenance for those websites once completed and implemented.

Website owners have less time than ever to impress and entice potential customers to learn more about their site. While some insist that tech savvy users require different interfaces than casual Internet users, a frustrating design is still a frustrating design. Users of every technical ability want a system that works smoothly and seamlessly.
As indicated, usability is the ability of a user to find the information he/she seeks, process the information, and perform whatever functions as needed (Eccher, 2015, p. 7). The use of a navigation menu allows the user to peruse the website. There exist four primary pathways by which users are able to navigate a website: use of hyperlinks, streamline the navigation bar, keep sidebars separate, and include footers. Hyperlinks will be examined initially.
Now is the technology era for in the world, many people live with technologies in their daily life. In general, technology meant knowledge of tools improve a pre-existing solution to a problem. There were so many habits of using technologies, like using computer to do documentation works, using social network to chat with friend in other country, until now using mobile devices to view web sites. Growth in mobile devices and smartphones had eased many people access Web pages. Normally, we use the computer or desktop to open a browser and visit to some websites. The content of websites is same when you use personal computer and desktop to visits it, caused by the size of screen is almost same. To build a more user friendly website that allow user to view the exactly same content of the Web pages regardless of the device’s screen size, a web pages with responsive web design is introduced. Responsive web design is ways to design web pages that work consistently across different screen size, platform, and user interface by using the same codebase (Pilon, 2013). The issues we always focus is the elements, pros, and cons. Hence, this report will discuss about the main components, advantages, and disadvantages of responsive web design.
Web design is related to design of web pages and web sites. Successful web designers should have good design skills, should have an aptitude towards drawing, and have knowledge of web-specific factors such as the image compression, screen resolution, website architecture, accessibility, usability, etc. A website might have a host of features such as interactive applications, e-commerce, search engine optimization, animations, etc. All this is the responsibility of the web designer.
HTML stands for Hyper Text Mark-Up and is a scripting language used to make webpages. CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheet and works alongside HTML to style the website, I will talk about CSS later on in this tutorial.
The first most commonly used programming language is Hypertext Markup Language, or commonly known as HTML. HTML is the standard mark-up language used to create web pages. According to Shanon (2007), HTML is a language created for computer to read human command to develop websites. Human can view the websites by connecting to the Internet. HTML started as an easy way to transfer data between computers over the Internet. The earlier objective of designing HTML is for scientists and researches that do not have any experience
Having a website is a necessity nowadays, especially for people who are in business. Having a website helps promote your company’s services, for consumers to view and research your products easily, and also because internet is universal, people worldwide could purchase your products. Aside from business purposes, a website could also be built for personal use. If you’re into blogging, you can have your own site to express everything you want or feel; a website could also be used to inform people. Due to technology’s fast evolution, creating a website is now a very simple task even for those who have no background in web designing, all you need is a working computer and an internet connection and you’re ready to create your very own site!
As state, there exist two types of website design layouts: fixed layout and fluid layout.
Web Design is almost like an art. It is the design of information and services over the Internet. Luckily for businesses and customers the information and services provided are in done so through the World Wide Web (WWW). As I mentioned earlier Web design is a form of art, meaning that art and organization are needed to form customized Web pages to fit a particular business’ needs. Services for Web design can be accomplished in a variety of ways: professionally through a Web designer, created through hypertext mark-up language, JavaScript, Dreamweaver, and Microsoft FrontPage as well as other “What you see is what you get” {WYSIWYG) editors or languages.
The development and design of a basic web page can be a fun yet tricky task. Whether it’s a large commercial web page for business purposes, or a small personal web page about your hobby or family; the process of development is the same. The three major steps leading to the development and design of a basic web page include: information gathering, site layout and design, and HTML (hyper text markup language) conversion.
A programming language is instructions wrote by developers/programmers that a computer will understand to do what a computer user or programmer wants it to do. Programming is also known to some users as a computer language. The computer languages that programmers use is to be able develop application, scripts, or other set instructions for a computer to execute certain information within applications. Currently within the programming language there are a variety of different languages which are listed with in a database explaining which languages there are and what each language can do. A computer programming is to tell a computer what to do through instructions which are then understood by the computer to perform these tasks. A computer will then go through a series of steps to achieve these instructions. Essentially it is a process by any of these programs to design and implement a web browser. There are many advantages of learning a computer programming as a programme will be able to gain new skills, be able to tell the computer what to do, and become better more familiar with computers. However, computer programs can be challenging but rewarding at the same time when a programmer gets there computer program to work on a web browser.
Web Design is the process of creating, making, and developing websites. It includes many different features such as webpage layout, webpage content, and also graphic designs. In general web design and web development work together, but the term web design is an actual category of web development. The main way of creating websites is building it from scratch using HTML language; which stands for Hypertext markup language. Web designers build websites using HTML tags that define the content of each page. The layout of the webpage and the appearance of all the elements will be built by using CSS; which stands for Cascading Style sheets. Therefore, all of the websites are being of combination of HTML and CSS files to define of how the page going to appear to the client or user. Many web designers prefer to build a web page starting from scratch by typing HTML and CSS codes, and others they prefer using a software for building and designing these webpages. Some of these soft wares to build and design websites are Dream Weaver which is mostly being used on MAC operating system or WordPress and Joomla which makes it easier for the web designer to design the webpage using the templates that these software already have listed, when the designer choose which template to use the software will automatically build the HTML and CSS files to create that template which also saves time and energy of writing those codes. In the following we going to point out the basics of web designing by using HTML and CSS files and show the steps to create HTML template, heading tags, HTML lists, create paragraphs and break tags, create CSS file, CSS rules, Font sizes, color, style, and adding images, hyperlinks, and CSS layouts.
