Web Redesign Program
When in a different generation, one must upgrade to a more time consuming, effortless program. So, websites are beginning to steer away from flash. If you don’t know flash; flash is a bandwidth friendly browser, independent vector-graphic animation technology. Flash gives high quality, rich websites that give the users an engaging experience. In 2014 companies would like to start using HTML5 and CSS3. HTML5 and CSS3 are interesting because of the design and the way it looks.

...eems to be more simplistic. Simplicity is good for a user interface. Plus, since there’s so much information, having it in a flatter design makes it more attractive. The web was always about 3D images and popups. The flatter images such as the new windows 8 and ios 7 make it look modern and polished. Parallax is also something that’s going to be seen in 2014. It’s not like a flat design; it makes different layers for a age move at different speeds. Parallax catches the viewer making them interact with the page. Like layers in Photoshop, instead it’s for a website. The use of big images is something that isn’t new, most of the time big images attract the viewers to books, sites, articles. The bigger the pictures and text are, the better. There are some websites that have just a background image as there advertisement, and let the words scroll while it’s displayed.
Making a website credible involves a lot of factors some of the major ones includes website design, content and organization of information within the website itself. Credible website plays an important role in the communication and success of the owners of the websites. Since the web is been bombarded with a lot of information on daily basis lately we have been seeing website displaying low quality, disorganized and misleading information. Credibility can be defined as the trustworthiness of the users or consumers. Credible information leads to loyal consumers and effective name branding on the web. Design can be considered as a big umbrella which cover all the aspect of look and feel of the website like layout, sequencing, navigation and
Web sites are just like magazines, newspapers, brochures, menus, or even directions on how to make nitroglycerin from house-hold goods, in that they all have to be put together in such a manner that whoever is reading or browsing over it will be able to clearly distinguish this from that. In this sense, a critique of any particular web site will have justification, while carefully considering also that this is an altogether new medium of information exchange. Now, all of this talk of togetherness is actually a general reference to basic design principles, such as color coordination, if color is used, text size, font choice/ style, art integration, accessibility, and just plain and simple design of the page. For example, it wouldn't be all that appealing to the eyeball if a page being viewed had all the text jumbled up in a corner, so small your eyes were bleeding by the time you figured out that it wasn't even worth the trouble. Darn. It's important to rememeber, especially these days, that what you read is as important as how it looks. Have you ever tried reading an interview in a Raygun magazine? Kinda hard, right? Design totally for its own sake is nice, as art that is, and admittedly it looks cool. However, it's two in the morning and you're standing in line at the corner 7-11 trying to pay for your 40 ounce bottle of Kool-Aid, and you happen to see that your favorite MTV Pearl Crap-clone band is on the cover of this hip magazine and you go to read it, but you can't. It's not because to you failed elementary school three times in two years, but because the maestro in charge decided to get fancy with it and thought it'd be cool if he hid the text under a black box or likewise photograph. I like to loo...

What makes a society successful? This question has been pondered for ages, not only in the United States, but also in countries all around the world. There are several possible answers to this question and different approaches one can take to try and make their society a success. Some may feel that a society can achieve great accomplishments only from working together, but if their ethics are not correct than can it actually be considered a success?

There are a variety of ways a link can be represented on the web. One of the challenges of designing a page is making a site visually appealing to the eye. Visual perception is how we analyze the world around us. Visual perception is “an active, thinking process of planning for, as well as interpreting, sensory data from the eyes” (Hilligoss 7). The layout and utilization of graphics serve as a roadmap for any website. Therefore, in order for people to effectively navigate a website, they must be able to communicate effectively through photos, icons, and text. The first key idea is the placement of the photos, icons, or text that will serve as buttons. “As we look around, we find focal points” and it is these points that direct our attention to the important areas of a page. When placing buttons, we do not want to make the size too small or to have a picture obscured behind text. If both text and graphics are used to represent the button, it is visually appealing to keep the text and graphics of equal width. This is exemplified on the main page of the WebCT course page where four pictures are used in conjunction with text labels. Each picture does not exceed the size of the text label, keeping the formatting consistent with the text serving as the foundation for the link.

Without the use of technology, communication would be limited to using mail for delivery and encyclopedias for research. Although technology has improved the way we communicate and find information for research, the information is not always valid.
