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, here are a few trends to look for. Web design constantly undergoes changes in trends because the years pass. Google Web Designer Html5 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 already been popular in the past. For the future of web design, you will see more HTML5, CSS, content management systems, and software development platforms. The large debate between HTML5 and Flash will most likely forever continue, but HTML5 has some great benefits. HTML5 is better supported on cellular devices and allows for more interactive design on the internet. HTML5 is already compatible of all browsers such as for example Firefox, Chrome, Safari, and Opera. In addition, it gives developers more flexibility and allows them to accomplish more things in-house also 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. It also 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 are more usable than canvas (allegedly). The developer community is larger and more mature than HTML5 and the various tools are strong and well-supported. Designers may also be convenient using Flash. Flash also gives usage of 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 that are clicked on move down 1px and go back to their original place following 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 lots of web programming 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 Also called HTML editors are applications used to create webpages. Such applications, like Adobe Dreamweaver, allow users to create and preview sites in locally installed web 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 compatible with Mac or Windows operating systems. Software development platforms often support CSS, JavaScript, and other scripting languages and frameworks.Like it? Share it! More by this author |
