So you’ve decided to build a website. You either have something to say with a blog, or you have a product or service to sell. Your website design is essentially your digital first impression. How do you want others to see you when they land on your homepage?
What is website design?
Website design is the creation of a website. It includes the layout of the site, content production, and graphic design. The look and feel of your website can determine whether people come back or not. Think about it: if you’re an attorney, and the screen on your homepage is Fuschia, chances are you’re not going to retain many people on your website, let alone get many clients out of it.
How easy or complicated is it to navigate? Are you a creative that has 1,000 ideas and feels the need to put all of them on your one website? Do you have different links to each of your ideas? That can be overwhelming and hard to navigate for many potential viewers and scare them off. Not to mention, too many irrelevant things can slow everything down altogether. Do you have content? Is it relevant to what your website is about? Are you regularly posting? Do you write incredible content but only post when you get around to it, or do you have a schedule? All of these things are factors in the design of your website.
Believe it or not, many people determine whether they find a particular website trustworthy or not fairly quickly; the look of the site can either build or kill trust. That said, the layout of a site can keep someone on a website or have them go back to their search engine of choice to find another. How is the website organized? Is the navigation key labeled in layman’s terms? Keep in mind that when people are navigating, if people don’t understand what the navigation labels are, they will just leave. They don’t want to spend the time translating labels.
How does it look?
Visual appeal is a key factor in retaining someone on a website. Do the photos on the site look like they were taken with a flip phone? Is there a lot of busy design on the page, or is it clean and visually simple? Does the design take away or add to what the site is about? Do the visuals add to the overall message that the website is trying to tell?
What is website development?
Website development includes the non-design aspects of building a website. Website development is behind the scenes, whereas web design is in front of the camera.
Things to know and understand if you want to learn how to develop a website:
Understanding HTML (Hypertext Marker Link): HTML is used to describe every piece of content on a website. No matter what type of content it is, whether it is writing, links, audio & video, or pictures, HTML ensures that all of your content is displayed correctly on your website.
CSS (Cascading Style Sheets): CSS is the technical language for describing colors, layouts, and fonts on a webpage. It also plays a part in a website adapting to different devices. It can go from a large screen to a small screen to even other devices such as printers.
Javascript: Computer programming language used to create and control website content
Although being a web developer and a web designer go hand in hand, they each have their skill set that is specific to that particular job description. One is more creative, the other is a bit more technical. Whether you choose to build your own website (bless your heart) or hire someone to do it for you, understanding both aspects of creating a website will only make it stronger, which is better for you in the end.
The first house in greater Hauppauge, according to historian Simeon Wood, dates as far back as 1731, being located on what would be the Arbuckle Estate, and later the southeast corner of the Hauppauge Industrial Park, near the intersection of Motor Parkway and Old Willets Path. The settlement of Hauppauge proper commenced with the family of Thomas Wheeler prior to 1753, at the present-day location of the Wave gas station between Townline and Wheeler Road. The locale would take the Wheelers’ name as its own until the 1860s when the name Hauppauge was restored. On March 13, 1806, “a meeting of the male members of the Methodist Society of the ‘Haupogues’ was convened at the School House agreeable to public notice for the express purpose of Incorporating and Electing Trustees for said Society.” The first trustees elected at the meeting presided by Timothy Wheeler and Issac Wheeler were Issac Nichols, Elkanah Wheeler, George Wheeler, and Samuel Brush. They were known as the “Trustees of the Methodist Episcopal Church and Congregation of the Haupogues”. In 1812 the Hauppauge Methodist Church that stands today was constructed on land donated by the Wheeler family.
Hauppauge gained significance as a waypoint on the King’s Highway, laid out by the colonial legislature of New York in 1702. The present-day right of way departs westward from Route 111 as Conklin’s Road or Half Mile Road, passing St. Thomas More Roman Catholic Church before terminating at the border between Smithtown and Islip. Hauppauge was effectively split between the towns of Smithtown and Islip in 1798 with the survey of New Highway, or what is now known as Townline Road (County Route 76).
