What is design, usability, and accessibility in web design? Web Design Blog

Web design is the process of planning and creating a web page. Web designers use a combination of pictures, text, color, and digital media to create a webpage.  When creating a webpage you should always keep in mind how you display your content, how you display your page should be user friendly, and make sure you stay on target with whatever your sole purpose is for creating the page.Usability is making the website easy to use and making things happen. When a person goes to a webpage and sees a link the expect to go somewhere. Never link to the same page, it disappoints people to click a link and go nowhere. Accessibility is making your website friendly to all types of users. That can range from color blind people to people that are fully blind. If you have a picture on a site and you don't have a text description to go along with it a blind person would have no idea it was there. Another thing to think about is someone with a physical disability might not be able to use a mouse; if you can't navigate through a page without one that site would be completely worthless them.
