WEB DESIGN DEVELOPMENT
Nowadays web design development is important for any kind of business. Quality web design allows introducing potential buyers to a company's products, as well as persuading them to use your, rather than anyone else's, services. There are many types of design, each with its own advantages and development specifications, which means that anyone can choose a design that would suit exactly his/her needs.
DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
A web design development process consists of several stages:
comprehending a client's wishes and presenting possible solutions
choosing colours, layout and other web design parameters
creating sketches and templates
developing the final version of a design
programming the design and installing it on a website
DESIGN TYPES
There is a number of design types available:
template design
original/unique design
replicated design
Arteqo Consulting offer their services in developing all types of design depending on our clients' wishes.
TEMPLATE DESIGN
A template design uses a ready-made template that is further adjusted to suit the needs of a certain website.
Advantages of a template design:
faster development and adaptation
template designs usually come with a pre-built content management system (CMS)
even the earliest stages of web design development allow predicting the looks of the design-to-be
Disadvantages of a template design:
unoriginal image that will heavily resemble other websites that use templates
templates can be only changes to certain degree
not all the templates can provide all the functions necessary to a website
templates include their own page layouts, which is not always easily changeable
It must be taken into consideration that introducing vast and detailed changes in a template design demands as much time as developing an original website design. In this case, if the development of a template design takes too much time, it might be beneficial to switch to creating an original design.
ORIGINAL DESIGN
An original design is a design that is developed from scratch, without using templates or any other ready-made structures.
Advantages of an original design:
unique looks that are easily distinguishable amongst other companies
an original design allows bringing to life almost any wishes of the client, whether visual or functional
such a design can be adjusted to serve any purpose and perform any function
Disadvantages of an original design:
an original design development takes more time
REPLICATED DESIGN
A replicated design is developed as an original design, but based on already existing examples. This design is a middle path between an original and a template designs.
Advantages of replicated design:
even the earliest stages of web design development allow predicting the looks of the design-to-be
ready-made ideas make the development of this particular design a lot faster
it is possible that successful design solutions will also be beneficial for the new website that utilizes them
Disadvantages of replicated design:
the development of a replicated design take almost as much time, as the development of an original design does
depending on how precisely the example design is copied, a replicated design may look more or less original
ADVANTAGES OF A HIGH-QUALITY DESIGN
The development of a high-quality design allows presenting one's products, attracting new clients, as well as distinguishing oneself amongst competitors. Nowadays, when the internet is one of the most marketing and advertising tools, a unique and attractive design can become the decisive point in scoring a victory against one's competition.
