Web Page Design
When creating a site, the web designer has to keep the following things in mind:
The various browsers
The various versions of the browser
The operating system used by the visitor
The color depth of the visitor monitor
The screen display area
The availability of plugins
With such a number of variables governing web page display, it is not always possible to have a web page display correctly across different client machines.
You also need to bear in mind that a web site is designed not for you but for its audience. For example, if you run a site which sells products for the elderly, you should make the layout easy, the font size large and the design simple. You should regularly analyse your site statistics to check which browsers the majority of your visitors use, or if they have JavaScript turned on. It is thus, of utmost importance to understand the technologies that the visitors use.
