A Strong Front Leads to a Great Start

What is Web and App Design?

Web Design until the early 90s was limited to the design of the website displayed on the screen of the computer via the internet. But with the increasing pace of technology, the web is no longer limited to the computer screen. It has moved to several other devices which can connect to a network. The term itself has turned into web and app development where app refers to the term application which is crafted by the respective business organisation in order to build a direct connection with the user. 

Web and app designers work on the template of the site or application and categorize it into two categories: appearance and layout.  Appearance covers the font, colour, size, image to be used on the site or the application. On the other hand, the layout covers the content structuralisation and how it should appear on the screen. The screen performs a pertinent role for the designer as everything he crafts needs to be aesthetically appealing and should be designed in a manner where when the device changes and the screen size shifts, the screen should remain as appealing and informative as it was before. Therefore, it can be opinionated that the best design should be adaptable to its changing environment. 

One major thing which a website running on mobile phones doesn’t display but an application requires the most is the icon.  An application gets its identity via the icon displayed on the screen of the mobile phone. The designer also needs to consider how the application will be displayed in the widget mode.  

A good design should also be a smart design as well which is complex yet simple and more than anything else should be user-friendly. And, In order to build a smart platform your team should be efficient in web and application development.
