How to select color for my own website

Posted by December 6, 2009, under Design | 4 Comments

Colors have psychological impact on online viewers. Good color mixing of web pages will bring more traffic for your site. People will be more interested to read your content. Wrong selection of colors will turn traffic away from your site.

To understand the web color theory in detail, start with color wheel. Color wheel tells us that there are three primary colors: Red, Yellow and Blue. Combination of these colors generates secondary colors like Green, Orange and Purple etc. Getting idea about color wheel and color palette does not end your work. You have to obtain the idea of significance of each color in human life. Each color has its own psychological or emotional impact on human life. Research more to know emotional meaning each color.

What are web safe colors?
Normally all the color shades that we use in image editing software can not be applied as web colors. There are 216 colors that are used by browsers regardless of the platform. These colors are called web-safe colors. While making images for website, you have to understand the web-safe color codes.

While working on your website, choose a theme color. You can take gradient color as your theme background or foreground color. But, don’t use too much color as it signifies an unprofessional design. In corporate websites you will see limited use of colors or one major color on every web page. Most professional websites are designed on 3 or 4 color theories i.e. they don’t use more than 3 or 4 colors. Color used in a game design site is much different from colors used in a corporate design. Colors and look of a fashion site can not be same with color codes of an NGO site. Sounds good?

You can easily start gathering knowledge about the limited color usage in websites. Start with Pixelnav.The site has beautiful color concept and is a great example of how to create amazing web effect with simple color combinations.

You may create your artwork or graphics in Photoshop or similar photo editing software. When you are publishing these for web, you have to maintain color standards. Photoshop shows what color shades remain unchanged on web.

Font color: Font colors should be contrasting to the background. Font colors should not be reflecting lights, else content will be difficult to read. Generally in web design, background color is kept light and font color remains dark.

One should have a sound idea about color scheme and color mixing before designing a website. If you don’t have artistic color sense and knowledge of color theories, how can your website impress others? There are websites like colorcombos.com, colormatters.com and home.bway.net etc. that can give you an idea of what are the different sets of color palettes that you can use for web design.

Graphics and Background:
Back color and colors of graphics should be contrasting. If your background color is dark, use bright colors in graphics and vice versa. Such color contrasts drive our eyes to go through the page content.

Adding colors to website:
After you have gained color concept, you have to add colors in background and in graphics. For inserting colors in graphics, use image editing software. If you want to insert web colors through coding, use hexadecimal color codes.

You should follow these color using guidelines to design a color-friendly dazzling website. Keep experimenting with coloring things! Read More

Web page design using HTML editor and coding

Posted by October 28, 2009, under web designing | 6 Comments

World Wide Web is holding the biggest media of the world. Ever wondered what’s holding world wide web? It’s website folks!

Websites, minisites and blogs are ruling today’s online market. Do you know how these brilliant websites are designed?  These pages are designed using coding and graphics.Without the programming knowledge web design won’t be possible.

Foundation of all web programming languages is HTML. It stands for Hyper Text Markup Language. HTML Web page consists of the page’s text surrounded by various tags for structuring and formatting the page. Also, HTML acts as hyper-linking several pages.

Cascading Style Sheet is not directly part of HTML. But this scripting is used along with HTML to add more attributes on HTML designed pages. CSS coding can be used inside an .HTML or .HTM file or, you can use it as an external .CSS file.

HTML scripting is easy to write and you can start and saving the file in any text editor. Notepad is the most popular HTML text editor. On Mac OS X, you can use editors like RapidWeaver and iWeb. These software can be really helpful for web designing on Mac.

Many used Microsoft FrontPage as HTML text editor to design web pages. One advantage of FrontPage is it can quickly show preview of your coding. Such editors are called WYSIWYG(What You See Is What You Get) editors. They are real good for nice web design. When you are done with inserting content with a WYSIWIG editor you can easily insert your images of the page by using HTML <img> tag. Alternatively, you can insert special image inserting option in WYSIWIG editor.

With advancement of web application development, FrontPage is slowly loosing its ground to Dreamweaver. Dreamweaver is a popular WYSIWYG editor.

Why web designers prefer to design in Dreamweaver than other text editors? Dreamweaver can give most benefit to create and edit HTML pages that other HTML editors can’t.

If you are using Dreamweaver, the software will automatically create head and body section of a HTML page for you.  But Dreamweaver is an branded Adobe product and you have to purchase it.

Free HTML text editors:
What if you have a low budget? How will you design your web pages using HTML? Don’t worry. There are many free HTML page building software available on web. Most popular of them are KompoZer and Amaya. These software can be downloaded freely and can be used for your HTML web design purpose.

Once your HTML scripting is clear, make a structure of the website. Design the basic menus and sub-menus using Dreamweaver. Next, design individual pages with text and graphics. Apply HTML anchor tag for proper navigation between pages. Apply link checking. Finally, upload all pages of the website to the server. Open your site in a browser to find if your site really working or not.

Standardization of HTML page design:
Many people use their own coding style for HTML page design. How to understand the coding standard of your HTML page? W3Schools has declared international standard of HTML page design. If you are following that standard rightly it means your page contains no error!

Just in case you face any problem regarding web design, feel free to contact Pixelnav. Enjoy web page design. Read More
