Good Web Design Practices
@souvikdg

What’s design?
What’s design?
Assertions
Design helps solve a problem.
A problem can have more than one solution.
A solution can have multiple layers of design.
Typically web design concerns the interface and the interaction.
Interface is not just “looks”.
Practice 1
Start with defining problems without being biased by existing solutions.
Practice 2
Design should lead backend implementation.
Practice 3
Design should happen in the same medium as the final
product.
Design in the browser.
“ Real web designers write code. Always have, always will.
Jeffrey Zeldman
“…You don’t do code to the level of say, Ethan
Marcotte, but you do need to know what’s possible with markup and CSS. Jeremy Keith
Practice 4
Embrace progressive enhancement.
Web technologies are designed to exploit the Rule of Least
Power.
When an elevator fails, it’s useless. When an escalator fails,
it becomes stairs. Build escalators, not elevators.
Thank You
