There are quite a number of tools available which can help us in developing and designing a rich and user friendly website. Drupal is one such tool or technically speaking “a free and open source Content Management System” which is written in PHP and used in at least 1.5% websites*(Source Wikipedia) developed worldwide including blogs, corporate websites and governmental sites as well, such as; New York Observer http://www.observer.com/; Now Public http://www.nowpublic.com/; Harvard University http://www.harvard.edu/; Massachusetts Institute of Technology http://web.mit.edu/; and AOL Corporate http://corp.aol.com/ among many others.

Drupal was first written by Dries Buytaert, a Belgian software programmer as a message board; however it became an open source project in the year 2001, post which its popularity grew by leaps and bounds. Drupal is maintained by a community of over 630,000+ users and developers and is readily available under the terms of GNU (General Public License).

Drupal contains some commanding extensions which are known as modules that can help in creating templates with customized panels for a common layout.

Some of the salient features of Drupal web design are given below:

  • Browser Based Interfaces – Facilitates easy modification of website content and updation.
  • Taxonomy Module – Currently, with the easy availability of taxonomy module in Drupal, it is easy to categorize and organize content in a hierarchy which helps in content search.

Website Designing Basics

16 Apr

With every business prospect aiming for a futuristic business approach and enhanced relationship building with the target customers; it is imperative to choose enhanced business methodologies that can facilitate consistent growth and profitability. Business management is correspondingly becoming more and more innovational wherein new found ideas are replacing conventional approaches and Internet is certainly one of the most sought after resource that has completely revolutionized the way of business management.

The foremost step to make the most of this wondrous resource is to establish web presence suitably in the form of a website or web portal that reflects your business idea perfectly and must be designed keeping up with emerging trends and aesthetic value. We shall be discussing some of the key elements that can help you in creating the perfect website for your business without facing any hassles.

Website Designing Basics

Website Design Basic 1: The first and foremost thing to keep in mind is the browser compatibility which means the website created must be duly viewable on all the web browsers available; Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Opera, to name a few. Pixilated imagery and illegible text are enough to put off the visitors if the web page designed is not adaptable with the chosen browser. The designing approach must be in sync with any kind of browser that the visitor chooses and must be created keeping in mind compatibility value.

Website Design Basic 2: Another important concern is the resolution support that would affect the screen resolution; with the popular ones ranging from 1024*768 to 640*480. Designing it in terms of pixels, would facilitate in viewing of the website and would make it comfortable for all browser users.

Website Design Basic 3: Page loading time is a huge concern that would determine whether or not your website is easily accessible or navigable. Extensive usage of Flash and heavy graphics would automatically make your web page heavy and would take all the time in the world to load.

Website Design Basic 4: Checking for broken links is also extremely important as any broken links uploaded on a website would reflect it in poor light and would also make the browsing process irksome for the visitor.

Website Design Basic 5: Simple looking neat designs can also fit the bill and requirement for your website and in the process, would also make it easier for the visitor to navigate through the website easily. This also brings to light the positioning of the controls and the layout of the website interface and making it suitably simpler for browsing through. Making use of footers and displaying the important links on every page would make navigation much easier.

Website Design Basic 6: Readability of the content placed on the website is also important as neatly arranged text would always make it simpler for any visitor to easily go through it. Certain fonts such as Comic Sans and Brush Script must be avoided as they might not be available on all computer systems. Therefore, sticking with commonly used and simple to read fonts always is a good option to consider for any designer. Unusually large sized fonts always make it unpleasant for the reader to read the specially drafted content.

Website Design Basic 7: Last but definitely not the least is effective usage of white space, which gives a neat look to the web page and also makes it aesthetically beautiful. Putting up too many animations and graphics on the website would make it look cluttered and messy and must be refrained from.

Designing a great looking and artfully designed website is not a herculean task. One must remember to add useful and qualitative content to the website that can attract visitor traffic repeatedly. Additionally, updating the  website content regularly and keeping in mind all the aforementioned points can certainly ensure creation of a superlative website that has mass appeal.
