Web design encompasses many different skills and disciplines in the production and maintenance of websites. The different areas of web design include web graphic design; interface design; authoring, including standardised code and proprietary software; user experience design; and search engine optimization. Often many individuals will work in teams covering different aspects of the design process, although some designers will cover them all. The term web design is normally used to describe the design process relating to the frontend (client side) design of a website including writing mark up. Web design partially overlaps web engineering in the broader scope of web development. Web designers are expected to have an awareness of usability and if their role involves creating mark up then they are also expected to be up to date with web accessibility guidelines.

By doing it for myself it gives me a lot of freedom to explore the things I want to. In turn I hope others enjoy the things I collect on DesignNotes. But if no one ends up visiting, that’s ok b/c I wrote what I did because I wanted to. I DO IT TO REMEMBER You’re more likely to remember something if you’ve written about it. Now that I’m remembering all that stuff, I need to gure out a way to apply that knowledge. (Suggestions welcome) I DO IT TO KEEP MY MIND ACTIVE Just like when I take photos to help me see, the same can be said about writing for my blog. If you’re actively thinking about the world around you, it makes you better informed to make decisions. I DO IT TO MEET LIKEMINDED PEOPLE I can’t imagine where I would be if I hadn’t taken those rst steps to post an idea. I’ve been very lucky that there have been readers of DesignNotes that have turned into friends and it’s been a great resource to bounce ideas off of. I DO IT BECAUSE I CAN The fact that it is so insanely easy to be a publisher that only eight or ten years ago would have been impossible. The overhead is extremely low… It’s important for me to explore all options for communication. @MICHAELSURTEES | UNEXPECTED NARRATIVES AND CREATING THE RIGHT CONDITIONS | APRIL 14. 2010 | http://designnotes.info/?cat=102 @MICHAELSURTEES | UNEXPECTED NARRATIVES AND CREATING THE RIGHT CONDITIONS | APRIL 14. 2010 | http://designnotes.info/?cat=102 Design notes content types INTERVIEWS Five to six conversations with a person I’m interested in knowing more about BOOK REVIEWS Attempting twelve a year, talking about design related books within the context of what I got out of them EXPERIENCES Commenting on everyday design experiences.
