The Internet has been changing, and BusinessWeek.com and a group of experts have summarized the rules that web designers today must follow. (Matt Vela) The Internet has demonstrated its powerful power as soon as it emerged. It not only changed the way people work, but even changed the way people date. It can be said that it made the world play a roller coaster and made everyone faint. Microsoft, Netscape and other companies have begun competition for browsers, and competition for network standards is also underway. At the same time, with the rise of Facebook, Flickr and YouTube, the Internet pays more attention to collective wisdom and socialization. From taking off to falling back to taking off again, funds are circulating frantically, and the development of the Internet industry seems to be invisible. The Internet also attracted religious communicators, theorists, etc., many of whom predicted that the Internet would have new technologies—Jini, DHTML and others—but none of them emerged. However, those seemingly simple technologies—metadata, XML, CSS—have made breakthrough progress. The development of web design has been constantly continuing from HotWired's noisy to Google's applications, sometimes seemingly opposite, but it has completely changed the Internet. To make things clearer, BusinessWeek.com lobbied many outstanding figures on the Internet to summarize some of the norms of web design. Participants include Internet theorist, Don Norman, collaborator of Nielsen Norman Group, design director at NYTimes.com, Khoi Vinh and John Maeda, president-elect of Rhode Island Design School, etc. These ten 2008 web design rules are summarized from our survey. A list of all contributors will be given at the end of the article. 1. Don't abuse Flash This animation technology from Adobe makes the Internet stronger, from Nike's very exaggerated homepage animation to web banners used by many advertisers. However, this technology is very easy to abuse, and too much animation is not only ineffective but also slows down the user's web browser. 2. Don’t let advertisements obscur the content of the website Indeed, advertising is crucial to the survival of a website, but research shows that pop-up ads and full-page ads block the content of the website, their effectiveness will be greatly reduced and will also affect whether readers will come back. An advertisement that can be retracted according to the readers' requirements would be more appropriate. 3. Don't make the web page look messy Web pages are a hodgepodge, but websites that lack a reasonable structure often make browsing information very difficult. Amazon.com takes the clarity of web page hierarchy as the most important criterion during the design process. 4. Do not use glass reflection effect in transition Apple often designs some beautiful effects. But some experts say the company's addition of glass reflections to photos of all its products is not worthy of widespread adoption because this design element has long been used indiscriminately. Today, a popular method of naming websites has emerged, but this method is getting weirder and weirder. Many websites either add multiple vowels to words or deliberately remove some when naming them. Such as Flickr, Smibs, Meebo, etc. These names are indeed easy to remember, but they are destined to be outdated. See more web design tutorials on this site. Designers say that in addition to detecting changes in network bandwidth, ordinary text is also quietly emerging. Mainstream websites such as Craigslist are leading the trend, while the famous Daring Fireball blogs like Coudal Partners and John gruber also represent the forefront of the trend of the times. The website just looks pretty and doesn't work very much. Websites like Facebook and YouTube use content and features to attract users. The most important thing in creating a website is to attract and retain users’ attention. Web2.0 has penetrated into every aspect. MySpace and LeSi's website just follow the trend and let users communicate and interact within the website. Today's designers have added the same elements to various websites, such as advertising, online office software, etc. Wikipedia, YouTube, Facebook and similar websites have become part of netizens' lives. Incorporating these elements into a website can maintain contact with users, thus providing the features they are familiar with. Although this sentence is already cliché, it is still very important. Although the website is designed with a very beautiful appearance, it can attract attention, but it can never conceal the lack of content on the website.
