Web Designing
Web design is a method of creating web pages and sites using HTML, CSS, JavaScript and other Web languages. Web design is a combination of lines, shapes, texture, and color to create an aesthetically pleasing or striking look of the website.
AnkTech agrees that the first impression depends on look and feel of the site, so our highly experienced team of UI Developers take care towards it. We do not hand down our work until client gets satisfied with our designs.
Ideally, UI Developers should strive to write code that is valid HTML and CSS. Doing so makes it easier to correct problems, edit pages, or update pages. Additionally, keeping HTML and CSS files separately helps to make changes easily. For example, having a separate CSS file allows for aesthetic changes to be made to the entire site rather than to just a single page. If CSS rules are included within a single HTML page, changes would have to be made to each and every page. The reason is that HTML should only be used for raw content and CSS be used to manipulate the content for aesthetic style. This is true for scripting files as well. Pixel to pixel correct design, it has to be eye-catching, informative and usable.
Typically, a good UI combines color-schemes, images and informative text into accessible web pages using a structured navigation that allows users to find information easily.
Quality content and design are two critical components that can help your business succeed.
Latest technologies which we have adopted very quickly in our work are OOCSS, HTML 5.
