Web Design

Web design refers to the design of the appearance and layout of a website and denotes the art and practice of creating web pages and websites.

It encompasses various aspects, such as graphic design, usability, information architecture, user interface, and search engine optimization (SEO), and includes practical elements such as the choice of colors, fonts, images, and general page layout.

The history of web design begins with the birth of the World Wide Web in the early 1990s. Initially, websites were primarily text-based and used HTML to structure content; With the introduction of CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) and JavaScript, web designers began to create richer, more interactive sites

The evolution of web design has seen the adoption of web standards, accessibility, responsive design to accommodate mobile devices, and the increasing importance of user experience (UX). Web design continues to evolve with the advent of new technologies, design trends, and user expectations, while maintaining as its main goal the creation of websites that are aesthetically pleasing, functional, and accessible to all; as such, good web design can also have an impact on SEO, as search engines can penalize sites that offer a low-quality user experience.
