Articles pour le mot-clé ‘design’


Yesterday was Word Usability Day and this year theme is designing for a sustainable world, which focuses on how our products and services impact our world.

Main considerations of sustainable design are :

  • Economic – design to match user’s needs and abilities increases the use, efficiency and satisfaction of products & services, thus reducing the need to spend $$ to change them;
  • Social – create products and services which are better for the health and wellbeing of their users, including users with disabilities;
  • Environmental – encourage all those involved in design to consider the longer-term implications of their product & services for their users and therefore for the environment.

Watch the following short video to get an example how a design can positively influence people in doing something good for their health!

It can be overwhelming to understand the production environment of websites, front-end developers, back-end developers, integration, programmings, what’s that? As client, you may be happy to understand a little bit more about the structure behind it.

So you are happy of your new design, what is next?

You just approved the design of your next website, you are happy with what has been done so far. What’s next? well a pretty long process. Upon approbation of the design, front-end developers take these designs and translate it to HTML. This means that your design is taken, decorticated and translated to a programming language. This might look like a simple task, but on the contrary, you need excellent front-end developers to translate your design perfectly.

How Complex?

To translate your design we use 2 languages, HTML and CSS. HTML is the foundation of your website, and CSS is what styles all your website, adds colors and images. It is not all, unfortunately the implementation between browsers (Firefox, Internet Explorer and etc) of those 2 languages differs a bit, it creates the complex task of testing your website to all current browsers to be sure the integration is spot on. The front-end developer needs to be aware of the dependencies of every browsers and be able to turn around problem that could arise.

Front-end developer also optimizes your website the be the fastest possible, trying to use the fastest structure possible and optimizing your design without losing picture quality. This is what we call website integration.

A back-end developer develops features

When those templates are finished, generally a small round table is planned with designers in case front-end developers forgot some styling. When designers are happy with the templates, it’s ready to get implemented in your content management system.

It is the back-end developer’s job to develop all the features you need to be able to manage your website yourself. Like changing the text in a section for example. This is where front-end developers and back-end developers work together to integrate your design with all the website features you need.

Every web creation company should take great pride of doing spot on integration of website design with content management, and we, at w.illi.am/ sure do.
