How to make a website: the nature of Web Design
When Jeffrey Zeldman was asked to define web design, he answered:
“Web design is the creation of digital environments that facilitate and encourage human activity; reflect or adapt to individual voices and content; and change gracefully over time while always retaining their identity.”
These are beautiful words, don’t you think so? They are also difficult words that won’t help you to understand web design nor develop the corresponding skills (wikipedia’s definition is even worse).
Thus it’s important to start by giving a definition that works i.e. a definition which will help you to be a great web designer.
