what is too much in web design?
Thursday, April 1st, 2010Web design is a subjective topic because it depends on three factors: what the visitor wants to see, what the owner wants to show, and what the design house thinks will work best within the realms of web technology.
A client will sometimes want plenty of animations, mostly these need to be built in Flash. A lot of Flash interactivity also tends to make some older laptop PCs slow down because it uses a lot of CPU power, and browsers on mobile phones sometimes completely ignore it because of the battery drain. Another point to consider in putting Flash in a web design is that it’s more difficult to maintain than a standard HTML/CMS system.
A more modern approach is to use Jquery animations. Jquery is powered by Java which is built in to most web browsers (including those on mobile phones). Web design using Jquery has the added benefit of being easier to maintain, and can be easily upgraded and modified. In comparison to Flash, which if you’ve lost the source file then it pretty much has to be rebuilt from scratch. So using jquery is much more compatible and is easy to use on laptops, macs, PCs, mobile phones.
Staffordshire is a country in Stoke-on-Trent and while there are a few good companies in the area, the one we have heard about is Cybernautix a web design staffordshire company. Their web design and development includes a highly flexible CMS so that it’s easy to manage and update the site from a secure login. They founded their business in SEO and know how to build websites with SEO in mind from the ground-up. Have a look at their website and ask them about their SEO results – you’ll be surpised at the results they acheive.
They also know how to write Jquery animations for web design and also Ajax, an technology for changing page content without refreshing the page.
