WEB SITE DESIGN Trends - HTML5 Vs Flash, CSS3, WCMS and MorePosted by Logan Schultz on April 21st, 2021 As the Internet expands the planet of design, there are several trends to look for. Web site design constantly undergoes changes in trends because the years pass. Certain areas of design like HTML5 vs Flash, CSS, content management systems, and software development platforms are all changing how people create on the internet. HTML5 Specific trends like oversized logos and headers, huge images, typography, minimalism, and intro boxes have been popular in the past. For the future of web design, there will be more HTML5, CSS, content management systems, and software development platforms. The large debate between HTML5 and Flash will probably forever continue, but HTML5 has some great benefits. HTML5 is way better supported on mobile devices and allows for more interactive design on the net. HTML5 is already compatible on most browsers such as for example Firefox, Chrome, Safari, and Opera. It also gives developers more flexibility and allows them to accomplish more things in-house and it allows for better and interactive applications. HTML5 lets developers manage data, draw, and play video and audio (which developers had problems doing with HTML4). HTML5 has new canvas and in addition makes it easy to embed video elements. In addition, it has a new geolocation APIs, client-side database, offline application cache, and thread-like operation. Flash Flash still has some very nice benefits. Flash has better support streaming secure and live video, is more ubiquitous and the 2D and 3D APIs tend to be more usable than canvas (allegedly). The developer community is larger and much more mature than HTML5 and the tools are strong and well-supported. Designers may also be more comfortable using Flash. Flash also gives access to web cam and audio recording. CSS3 New trends in CSS3 include change of text selection color, gradually changing links, 1px clicks, easier introduction paragraphs, and box shadow with RGBA on hover. With CSS3, designers can transform the colour of selected text to complement the color scheme of the rest of the site. Also with CSS3, designers can change the opacity of a hover link. 1px click makes links which are clicked on move down 1px and return to their original place after the mouse is released. Introduction paragraphs are also easier and CSS3 allows designers to make a box shadow with RGBA on hover. WCMS A content management system or WCMS lets users with little or plenty of web program writing language know-how create and manage a web site's quite happy with ease. A WCMS can use templates and the WCMS uses databases to store artifacts, content, and metadata. Most WCMSs use server side caching and most have automated templates, scalable expansion, easily editable content, scalable feature sets, web standards upgrades, workflow management, collaboration, delegation, document management, content virtualization, content syndication, multilingual capabilities, and versioning. Software Development Platforms Often known as HTML editors are applications used to create webpages. Google Web Designer Html5 , like Adobe Dreamweaver, allow users to create and preview web sites in locally installed browsers, transfer features, synchronize features, find and replace lines of text, find and replace lines of code, and use templates. These software development platforms can also use third-party extensions to improve functionality. Most of them can also be used with HTML and so are usually appropriate for Mac or Windows os's. Software development platforms often support CSS, JavaScript, along with other scripting languages and frameworks.Like it? Share it! More by this author |
