Web Design

We live in the age of technology where electronics dominate our culture.  We have come to a day an age where addiction now includes technology such as Internet and video games.  The Internet was originally designed for communication capabilities and information services. Since then we have evolved these ideas and put them to use with things like advertising and networking.  Now speaking of networking, Facebook is probably the most visited networking service online. Networking is a great way to get connected with people in your community but it can also be dangerous for various reasons. Facebook can become dangerous when you fall victim to its ability to distract you from all possible activities. Distraction could be seen as an addiction, a disease, I am addicted to being distracted. I wouldn’t be surprised if that was a real disease. Distraction is not a disease but it is a good form of web design. One aspect of successful web design is how well it attracts people to its site also known as its visual design. The visual design is what initially brings people to a site and keeps them there. The most important thing for a site is its information design or how easy and accessible it is. For example, Google is an excellent example of information design because everything about it is straightforward. A good website is like a good restaurant if the service is satisfying along with fulfilling the consumer with a purpose then you have a loyal customer. You’ll have them coming back whether it be for temporary distraction or fine dining.
