Here are a few things to know about website design, and the lesser know facts that you may not think about, whether your are an absolute beginner, or you have a little more knowledge on the subject. We will give you a basic summary of the key web design areas that you need to know about. Here is an absolute beginner's guide to web design: The InternetStarting with: What’s the web, anyway? Here is some information that all web designers need to have a firm understanding of prior to beginning a career. Put simply, the internet is a huge network of computers, transmitting data to each other through phone cables, satellite signals and other data transfer systems. The computers that make up this network are usually connected by servers. Servers are computers too, only with specific software installed on them, called server software. ServersServer software is designed to serve websites to users. It loads the pages and makes them available online 24/7 waiting for requests to the page from a user to view the page. When requested, the server sends it out. This means that if a website page fails to load and produces a server error, that means that the server may be down. Search Engines & BrowsersIn order to request to view of a web page, a user first needs to find it. To do so, they need to either type the direct address (or URL) into a browsers web address bar, or use a search engine to find the website. Domain NamesIn order to get your website up and running, you will need to register your domain. This process means that your url and official website address is up online for other people to find, by either typing in the direct address or finding on a search engine like Google or Bing. Your url is completely unique to you! All domain names are unique addresses on the web much like your residential or postal address is unique to you. Otherwise no one would be able to find it. Of course, if you want your own unique domain name and space, you will need to pay a fee, much like if you were to rent a space somewhere. Registering a domain name isn’t always expensive and can range both in price and in duration. We hope this basic information helps you to understand the basics of websites and how they work.
