What Is It

Web page is designed for World Wide Web on which it is consider as the document
inside it. Mozilla FireFox, Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge or Apple's Safari are web
browsers which you can use in order to access a web page.
Nowadays, web pages serves as an important role in the business world. Web
pages allows businesses to showcase their company and advertise their products.
Even social media sites allows users to boost their popularity, this will help the users
to promote their business or advocacy to other users online.
If you're planning to create a web page of your own, you can use a website builder
like WordPress, Wix or Adobe Dreamweaver. These website builders are very
powerful tool and user-friendly on which you can create website by just dragging and
dropping the elements of your website. However, there are certain elements and
principles in building your own website. Below are the seven possible elements of a
modern web design

4
 1. Text - this is a mandatory element of a web page. However, visitors got
distracted about the font family of the text on website. So while you are designing your
website, make sure that to choose well the font family and type that you need to use
on your design and make the text is clear and in readable size

lettering-stickers_4947782.htm#page=1&query=text%20website&position=23

2. Graphics/ Illustrations - make sure your images or illustrations are not pixelated
or must be on good quality. There are time that text give description to an image, so
you make that these two elements are well arranged.

3. White space - having a crowded website, it is very hard to direct the attention of
your vistor's eye. These white space gives your website a room to breathe.

5. Color - the colors you use in your design is a very important aspect. There are
times that colors become visually distracting to your viewers. As some web
designers do, they use the company logo of their client as their color reference on
their website.

information system (GIS) data. Mapping
applications use GIS to create a visualize
maps. Today, a Web map is used not only for
directions and locations but also to track
consumer activity and to locate stores and
establishments.

The examples of mapping application are:

shows both graphic and satellite maps. The maps include street names,
building names, establishment names, and bus and train stations, to name a
few. Some extension applications include three-dimensional views of the

1. Yale of School of Art:
The background image of the website should not be set on tiles. Arrange properly the
text or articles in the website. It is much better to insert an image on every article or
announcement to add more information of the subject.
2. Shopee
The web design for this website is much better than the previous website. Only one
recommendation for this website, the owner might add a video on how to setup the
product so that the consumer will not be having a hard time on setting up the product
they bought.
3. Suzzanne Collins
The content of the page is well arranged, what I mean is the page is not very crowded
since it is a personal website. I would recommend if there will be a page for the gallery of
images on this website. And also, I would recommend if there will be link for every post of
the owner of the website since this is a personal website. Links must be chronologically
arranged.
