Digital Convergence: Insight into the future of Web design

Got something to say?

Much of what is written about the Web has to do with the problems developers encounter today, such as a lack of uniform standards and accessibility compliance. While on one hand that is appropriate—providing knowledge and skills for today’s challenges—on the other, this tight focus on the here-and-now is doing us a disservice. We continue to operate in a reactive space, one where the way we are thinking is not attuned to the opportunities of tomorrow. It keeps us on a perpetual treadmill, thinking and working in a tactical and compartmentalized way. We view the work we do narrowly, in the moment, not understanding the greater context, much less the startling changes that are just over the horizon.

The future of Web design is one of integrated specialization. Whereas the Web exists now as a major cultural force, something that has changed the human paradigm and demonstrably altered reality, its role will become increasingly smaller and more specialized. That does not mean that it will be any less complicated or less important. Rather, instead of being the brash virtuoso, it will join an ever-growing and complicated symphony.

Web 2.0 for Designers

Got something to say?

In Web 1.0, a small number of writers created Web pages for a large number of readers. As a result, people could get information by going directly to the source: Adobe.com for graphic design issues, Microsoft.com for Windows issues, and CNN.com for news. Over time, however, more and more people started writing content in addition to reading it. This had an interesting effect—suddenly there was too much information to keep up with! We did not have enough time for everyone who wanted our attention and visiting all sites with relevant content simply wasn’t possible. As personal publishing caught on and went mainstream, it became apparent that the Web 1.0 paradigm had to change.

The Web of documents has morphed into a Web of data. We are no longer just looking to the same old sources for information. Now we’re looking to a new set of tools to aggregate and remix microcontent in new and useful ways.

Enter Web 2.0, a vision of the Web in which information is broken up into “microcontent” units that can be distributed over dozens of domains. The Web of documents has morphed into a Web of data. We are no longer just looking to the same old sources for information. Now we’re looking to a new set of tools to aggregate and remix microcontent in new and useful ways.

These tools, the interfaces of Web 2.0, will become the frontier of design innovation.

The evidence is already here with RSS aggregators, search engines, portals, APIs (application programming interfaces, which provide hooks to data) and Web services (where data can be accessed via XML-RPC, SOAP and other technologies). (in beta) provides the same functionality as similar competing services but features a far superior interface. s interface is one of the most intuitive and beloved around. offers personal and social functionality, and reaches far beyond its own site. Interfaces like these are changing the way we store, access, and share information. It matters very little what domain content comes from.

Web 2.0 has often been described as “the Web as platform,” and if we think about the Web as a platform for interacting with content, we begin to see how it impacts design. Imagine a bunch of stores of content provided by different parties—companies, individuals, governments—upon which we could build interfaces that combine the information in ways no single domain ever could. For example, makes its database of content accessible to the outside world. Anyone can design an interface to replace Amazon’s that better suits specific needs (see The power of this is that content can be personalized or remixed with other data to create much more useful tools.

There are six trends that characterize Web 2.0 for designers. In this introductory article we’ll summarize each of those trends and give brief examples. In upcoming articles we’ll explore each trend in more detail.

Search Engine Friendly Web Design Structure by keyur parmar

The arrangement and creation of web pages turns up into a web site. There are many aspects to this process, and due to the rapid development of the Internet, new aspects are continually being added. Web design is the design or designing of a Web page, Website or Web application. The term generally refers to the graphical side of Web development using images, CSS and XHTML.

Online marketers understand the importance of getting top search engine rankings in major search engines. Therefore, they spend much time in optimizing website content, seeking inbound links, and optimizing title and Meta Tags. However, many of them ignore the fact that web design structure has a role in (SEO).

Web Design does not necessarily have to be as complicated as it may seem. With a little ingenuity and some creative work a website with a clever web design can take form. To optimize website, you must ensure you have a search engine friendly web design structure, and do not just rely on web designers because they could be good at web design but not good at SEO.

"How can I attract thousands of visitors to my site?" many people ask me this question. Well, driving high traffic to Website is very important, but what's even more important, is designing a website in that way which makes them stays longer.

Some design guidelines and tips to help you build a are:

1. Figure out what you want to do and make a plan for it. 2. Keep your design simple, clear, consistent and user friendly. 3. A simple design layout makes it easier for you to build your website. 4. Your content should be simple, complete and direct to the point. 5. If your design look complicated - redesign and simplify it. Etc............

There are two types of website design such as; static and dynamic website design. You can opt for static as well as dynamic website design where former is based on simple HTML code and latter is developed with advanced and sophisticated technologies based on the information provided in the database.

Following important web design elements must be kept in mind during website optimization process:

* CSS Style sheet: It is good to use CSS style sheet to format your web design because it can standardize the appearance of your website.

* Content Management Software (CMS) * HTML Code Compliance: As a good web design practice, make sure your HTML coding is compliant to some well recognized HTML standards such as W3C standard.

* Use of Graphics: You must optimize the file size of your images. * Multiple-level Navigation Menu: Many websites use multiple-level navigation menu in JavaScript. This is no good in terms of SEO. Separate JavaScript from HTML coding by using external JavaScript file.

* Bad Web Design: To make your web design search engine friendly, avoid use of frame and Re-direct techniques.

* Flash: Flash makes your website more appealing and it would improve effectiveness of your website.

If you are following the above points then your website will not only attract many people, but it will also motivate them to stay for a long time.

Welcome to TwisterMc.com

This is my personal site for showcasing some of my talents, talking about my interests and just a place for me to have fun and for you to find or learn something cool.

Showcased above you'll see some of my more popular projects. There Firefox themes and a few web tools that you can use to enhance your internet experience. I'm always checking out what's new on the net and trying out new things. I'm part programmer and part designer so I love to figure things out and then make them look sweet.

I'm big into Apple software & hardware, open source offerings, Web 2.0 applications and lots of other internet geekery. I'm also a big fan of the weather and, if it's not storming, I love to visit a good themepark and check out the roller coasters. They can't make them too big or too fast.

For a day job I do search engine optimization, blog marketing and web design. By night I'm here, reading feeds, playing with code and just seeing what's up. I have lots of big ideas, lets just see what I come up with next.

Importance of search-engine friendly web site design

All I read about is keywords. I understand keywords are important. Why do you think that design is just as important as keywords?

Great question! Here is a simple answer. Design is equally as important as keywords. Design is important for many reasons:

Design for your target audience

In a recent study from over 2,600 participants were asked to rate the credibility of web sites based on a variety of factors. The study's results showed that the two most important factors for credibility were "Design Look" (46.1%) and "Information Design/Structure" (28.5%).

Imagine a web site that is only constructed with words formatted in HTML text. No products photos, logos, nothing except keyword-rich HTML text. Would you honestly purchase products from a site that has no photos of the product?

Likewise, what do you think doorway pages are made of? That's right, mostly HTML text. That's why they can rank well -- temporarily. But they rarely convert.

So the design of your site matters to your site's visitors. They have to trust you. They won't order from you if they do not trust you. Your web site design does communicate trust.

The problem with many search engine marketing firms is that they think with blinders on. They only thing that matters to them is a top position, or they focus on keywords only. I am not saying that keyword phrases are not important (because they are). I am saying that there is so much more to the search engine marketing process than placing words on a page. Usability issues, branding, and the user experience are all equally important.


Design for the search engines

Of course, all web sites should be designed and written primarily with the target audience in mind, but your target audience will probably be using the search engines to find the products, services, and information offered on your site.

Let's say your copywriters have written the keyword-rich text that you need. If you build your site with various technologies (Flash, session IDs, scripting, etc.), then the search engine spiders will have a very difficult time accessing that keyword-rich text. Or they will not be able to access it at all. Result? Little or no search engine visibility.

Also, popularity is a very important component of search engine algorithms. So your human visitors must actually like your site. In other words, they should find your site easy to navigate and easy to use. If your visitors find your site contains quality content and easy to use, they are more likely to link to it.

Therefore, design matters to the search engines so they can access your keyword-rich text, and it matters to your human visitors so they can easily find that keyword-rich text once they arrive at your site.

In fact, a search-engine friendly web site is going to provide more accurate search results for your internal site search engine, which totally enhances the user experience.


Pay-for-inclusion (PFI) and pay-per-click (PPC) programs

Many search engines offer pay-for-inclusion programs so that sites with problematic, dynamic URLs are guaranteed to be in the search engines' indices. Which I think is a great solution.

However, sites with 1,000 or more pages will have to enroll in a pay-per-click program. And if your site has 800 pages? Just for one search engine, and I'll pick the least expensive one, that's about $15 x 800 pages = $12,000 annually. That might be pocket change to large companies, but that cost can be prohibitive for other firms.

Likewise, if a site naturally ranks well for targeted keyword phrases, there is little need to purchase those keywords in PPC programs, such as the ones offered at Overture and Google (AdWords). In fact, the PPC programs are often a good supplement for an effective search-engine friendly web site. But they can be rather costly if they are the sole means of finding your site online.

If a web site is designed in a search-engine friendly way, PFI and PPC costs can be greatly minimized.


The reality of web site design

Realistically, the majority of web sites need to contain graphic images. Sites need logos for branding purposes. People like to see what they are purchasing, whenever possible. And as much as I love style sheet capabilities, they are no substitute for many effects that designers can make with Photoshop or Illustrator.

I have also read many articles where Search Engine Optimization (SEO) firms claim that they specialize in SEO only, not being a web design firm who "dabbles" in SEO.

I wouldn't hire a search engine marketer who DOESN'T understand how design affects search engine visibility. All search engine marketers should be able to work with any type of site design and troubleshoot it. Is the site navigation scheme problematic? Or is the URL structure the problem? Sloppy HTML code? When should you use graphic images and when should you use HTML text? What about usability? How many search engine marketers are educated in usability? People are not going to order your products and services if they do not find your site easy to use.

Web designers and developers can create web sites that please both the search engines and human visitors. It just takes practice.

Design is just as important as keywords.

Research-Based Web Design & Usability Guidelines

Try to learn the rules of good web design and usability and you will quickly discover that a few of the commonly-accepted rules are just flat out wrong. For example, there are many books and web sites that proclaim that, on a computer screen, serif fonts [fonts with a tail] are harder to read than sans-serif fonts [fonts without tails]. Cute, but wrong:

Research shows no reliable differences in reading speed or user preferences for twelve point Times New Roman or Georgia (serif fonts), or Arial, Helvetica, or Verdana (sans serif fonts).

Whoops. How can you separate the good web design rules from the fake ones? Easy. Check out the United States Department of Health and Human Service's [HHS] recently-updated "Research-Based Web Design & Usability Guidelines." For each of the over 200 web design guidelines the HHS has collected, you'll see

  • A summary of the guideline
  • Real-world examples of that guideline in use
  • A rating of the "relative importance" of the guideline
  • A rating of the "strength of evidence" supporting the guideline

Those last two bullet points are important. There are a LOT of web design and usability guides out there, but few tell you how important a particular guideline is or whether there is any research to support guideline. I guess that's why so many people avoid serif fonts on the web.

Women in web design: just the stats

The underrepresentation of women and minorities in the information technology workforce is like the weather: everybody talks about it, but nobody does anything.

In February 2007, Jason Kottke called our community on its inertia by publishing information showing the low percentage of female speakers at conferences about design, technology, and the web. One conference he cited was An Event Apart, which I founded with Eric Meyer.

How can conference organizers, employers and educators help our field better reflect the world we live in? One problem in deciding what to do about the issue is that, as is so often the case with matters of equality and justice, surprisingly little is known about the phenomenon or its causes. Feelings and anecdotes are plentiful, facts are scarce.

So An Event Apart commissioned a fact-finding mission. We hired researchers at The New York Public Library to find out everything that is actually known about the percentage of women in our field, and their positions relative to their male colleagues. Because such research could go on indefinitely, we assigned the project a budget and time-frame; researchers worked within those constraints.

The data they mined concerned women and minorities in the information technology (IT) workforce. IT was as close as we could come to our specific field. There is no data on web design and web designers. Web design is twelve years old, employs hundreds of thousands (if not millions), and generates billions, so you’d think there would be some basic research data available on it, but there ain’t. (Maybe A List Apart will gather such data one day, perhaps in collaboration with a logical partner like Boxes and Arrows.)

So the first disclaimer is that our research covers IT, not just web design. The second is that we’re still sifting the data we received. This is nothing like a final report. If a final report emerges, it will come from An Event Apart.

All that out of the way, the picture that emerges is disturbing:

  • Men outnumber women in this workforce by over three to one.
  • The percentage of women employed in the field is declining instead of growing.
  • Women who participate in the field may not be promoted as often or as high as their male colleagues.

Here, briefly cited, is a small portion of “Untapped Talent: Diversity, Competition, and America’s High Tech Future,” a 21 June 2007 special report by the Information Technology Association of America:

This study by the Information Technology Association of America (ITAA) finds that women and most racial minorities remain significantly underrepresented in today’s U.S information technology (IT) workforce. By examining data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Current Population Surveys, this report, like previous ITA diversity studies conducted in 1998 and 2003, documents the percentages of women and minorities in BLS occupational classifications that comprise the IT workforce in 2004 and compares them to previous years to determine the progression and regression of diversity. The data presentation is followed by a discussion of possible barriers to entry for underrepresented groups and solutions to overcoming those barriers. The report also highlights successful public- and private-sector groups that encourage more diversity and support women and minorities in IT.

The news here is not good: The percentage of women in the IT workforce has declined by 18.5% since 1996, from a high of 41% in 1996 to 32.4% in 2004. This is true even while the percentage of women in the overall workforce remained relatively unchanged. Women are also far less likely to return to the IT workforce….

The declining representation of women is due largely to the fact that one out of every three women in the IT workforce fall into administrative job categories that have experienced significant overall declines in recent years. When those categories are excluded from the analysis, the percentage of women in IT drops from 32.4% to 24.9%. The figures represent no progress in the numbers of women in the professional or management ranks from the relatively low 25.4% mark achieved in 2002. At best, the data suggest that the number of all women in the IT industry is dropping substantially; at worst, these statistics illustrate a situation in which women are failing to advance in the managerial and professional ranks and the IT industry is failing to draw on a critical talent base.

Clearly, there is much to be done. Stay tuned.
