Web design

Web design is a broad discipline, requiring skills in information technology, typography, layout, color theory, graphic arts and usability which are combined to produce an attractive web site. The subject is a very popular one for bloggers and this tag is used to mark posts covering all aspects from HTML creation to web development.

Separating a web site's design from its content is an important goal in modern web design and it is acheived by using Cascading Style Sheets.  A stylesheet describes the colors, fonts, borders and backgrounds of each item on a web page and sharing CSS rules across every page on a web site is a good way of achieving consistency in your designs. Writing CSS rules can be difficult at first, moreso due to inconsistent support across different browsers.

Many web designers have blogs that provide how-to resources, industry trends and designs that they find attractive. You'll find lots of articles to suit your level of experience, from beginner to expert.
