How To Achieve Good Looking Web Designs

With the move of the sites based on standards many have decided to sacrifice the look of their sites very austere designs and thus have a validated code. While this is not directly negative to remember that commercial sites look a role of "hook" and gets visitors will remember about their image or appearance.

But do not fall into the trap of talking about the "why" and talk about the "how" to achieve good web design.

1) Uses 100% CSS and XHTML
One of the most important in achieving good design work is to use CSS. In addition to the benefits that this system layout is (separation between content and design, faster loading, better accessibility, etc), this gives us endless graphic possibilities. Tables are really very limited in this regard. It is not mere caprice using CSS in a design. Using CSS allows for advanced management of "funds" and control the millimeter of each object.

2) Watch and learn
A good way to learn is watching, I'm not talking about cheating, plagiarism designs. I think there is this demeaning attitude. I mean to use the galleries showcase (screenshots of designs) which are designed with the pure idea of ​​"inspire". Here a small lists of the most famous galleries. Look at the source code and study as many designers work. No need to copy anything, so you'll be imposing a style and way of working that will make you very quickly learn the best way to make web professionals.

2) Learn to edit images
With the use of CSS comes with it the need to work with images. These should be light in weight, and where needed, we must take the effects of transparency that allows the GIF or PNG. This will open a world of possibilities that we had with tables. The simple fact of having absolute control over the funds, margins and spacing makes us much easier to apply good design.

3) Use a Vector program for layout sketches
Many web designers make the mistake of jamming design made the subject of the form or the site will look. However, there is a system that allows us to have a more global view of what we are doing.

If we use a vector management program (Adobe Illustrator, Corel Draw, etc.), we can simulate how our site will be both ways or in combination of colors and fonts. We move, expand and manage spaces freely.

To achieve optimum work we go about doing some screen shots from your browser in order to have real scales dimensions.

4) Learn the main concepts of starting a website Design
Not only CSS and HTML web sites are made, although of great importance to our web code to achieve good design is necessary to know the main fundamentals of design, tonal harmony, color scheme, judicious use of fonts, contrast, space management, etc.
