Web Design
Web Design is the process of creating an appealing and functional website which caters to your personal requirements and preferences.
This involves creating a framework based on your personal preferences, relating to a style and colour.
The website also needs to reflect your corporate identity. This may involve compromising between what you would like and what would appeal to your website visitors.
First impressions are important and this means a balance between good looking text fonts and images which are positioned so as not to clutter a page with too much information.
Dreamweaver CS4 is used to develop the site
Photoshop CS4 to adjust and enhance images
Raptivity to incorporate flash elements
