ABOUT WEB-DESIGN
TENDENCIES OF PROGRESS OF WEB-DESIGN. Tendencies in web-design are one of the claimed objects of analysis. Variety of approaches to a design, presence of universally recognized(or, opposite, debatable) reference points and enough bright dynamic constantly throw up new food to analysts for reflections. The Internet, especially Russian-speaking, develops quickly, and the clear understanding of current tendencies, allowing to do prognoses with the high stake of exactness (at least, in short- and medium-term periods), are able to become a serious competitive advantage - both for enterprises, engaged in providing business-processes in Network, and for companies, only beginning to search their user in the Internet yet.
WHAT DOES INFLUENCE ON DESIGN OF SITES? Hardware of World Network exerts enormous influence on the design of sites first of all. Long-long time ago, when to 90 % of users of the Internet were used switched access, and speed of surfing was determined speed possibilities of modem, and also quality of telephone exchanges, certain principles of creation of web-pages, which was used for development of design of sites of those years, were produced. One of basic indexes, determining a structure and original appearance of web-sites, were speed of load of page. And it is clear, because at that time actual speed of communication of data were averaged on the output of 2-5 kb/s. From here limits on the volume of the information placed on a page, using of graphic arts, flash-animation and other, appeared.
Presently for data of some independent researches (in particular, conducted by the agency of ROMIR Monitoring) in the large cities of Russia and Ukraine number of users becoming clients of local networks reaches to 60-80%. Taking into account fact that transition of clients on high-speed ADSL - access in Dnepropetrovsk, Kiev, Kharkov, Zaporozhia and other cities of Ukraine became the mass phenomenon the last years, it is possible to forecast that in the near time, number of clients, using switched access in the Internet, will be no more than 10-12 % in cities and no more than 30 % on the average in Ukraine.
In such a way, additional possibilities for creation and perfection of design and structures of web-sites appear, they allow to develop pages, placing greater information content on them, to create flash-presentations, that is especially important, say, for restaurant business, to place plenty of high-quality pictures (real estate), etc.
It is possible to mention about some limitations, which swiftly go away to the past. For example, is it necessary to optimize the design of web-site under out-of-date monitors with permission of screen 640x480 and 800x600, or under the browser of Nescape Navigator 1.0? Users, which presently utilize monitors with such permission for viewing of web-pages or using such "prehistoric" browser did not practically remain, in any event it is really impossible to find them among target audiences, for example, business-aviation, or potential visitors of restaurant complex, or in purchase of enterprises departments. And limitations, which have to be laid on the design of pages at that rate reduce the attractiveness of web-site considerably.
Thus, during the nearest two-three years already it is possible to forecast the next coil of high-quality transformations among sites, the subject of which dictates a necessity for a modern original design, high-quality and by volume serve of information, because for web-designers already now new possibilities appear for realization of the most unusual creatived projects.
