Wireframes, de bouwtekening van een website - Yes2web Geplaatst op 25-11-2009 in Advies Webdeveloppers gebruiken vaak de term "wireframes" (ook wel eens "interactie ontwerp" genoemd). Dit artikel geeft een uitleg wat wireframes zijn, hoe ze kunnen worden ingezet, hoe u zelf wireframes ontwikkelt en waarom wireframes belangrijk zijn in het proces van het ontwikkelen van een website of (web)applicatie. Wat zijn wireframes? Wireframes zijn een visueel hulpmiddel bij het ontwikkelen van een website of -applicatie. In de wireframes worden zaken vastgelegd als navigatie, indeling en inhoud, zonder gebruik te maken van een grafisch ontwerp. Een voorbeeld van Wireframes van een bekende zoekmachine.

Mockup In manufacturing and design, a mockup, or mock-up, is a scale or full-size model of a design or device, used for teaching, demonstration, design evaluation, promotion, and other purposes. A mockup is a prototype if it provides at least part of the functionality of a system and enables testing of a design.[1] Mock-ups are used by designers mainly to acquire feedback from users. Mock-ups address the idea captured in a popular engineering one-liner: You can fix it now on the drafting board with an eraser or you can fix it later on the construction site with a sledge hammer.[2] Applications[edit] Mockups are used virtually everywhere a new product is designed. Automotive devices[edit] Mockups are used in the automotive device industry as part of the product development process, where dimensions, overall impression, and shapes are tested in a wind tunnel experiment. Systems engineering[edit] Early layouts of a World Wide Web site or pages are often called mockups. Military acquisition[edit]
Een website maken - Marketingportaal.nl Een mooie website maken is één ding, maar een website goed voorbereiden, zodat het ook een effectief marketinginstrument wordt, is een heel ander verhaal.

Web design Web design encompasses many different skills and disciplines in the production and maintenance of websites. The different areas of web design include web graphic design; interface design; authoring, including standardised code and proprietary software; user experience design; and search engine optimization. Often many individuals will work in teams covering different aspects of the design process, although some designers will cover them all.[1] The term web design is normally used to describe the design process relating to the front-end (client side) design of a website including writing mark up. History Web design books in a store Although web design has a fairly recent history, it can be linked to other areas such as graphic design.

Design trends for 2011 Everything inside the design world is permanently changing, evolving and adapting into new ways of expression and communication looking to satisfy the new consuming needs and set innovative exchanging channels. 2010 made a huge closure for the final year of the first XXI century decade, we witnessed the rising of tablets (iPad, Samsung Galaxy Tablet among others), the demise of Internet Explorer 6 and the absurd fanaticism towards Flash (though it’s losing a lot of fans), which is going to be slowly replaced by HTML5 (we’re not saying that Flash is dead, only that HTML5 will begin to cover many of its current uses). Editorial disclaimer Of course that the common design elements such as typography, navigability, color and more have also changed and as you will see on this article, these changes must be apprehended by every designer that wants to set his mark during 2011. No more clutter, it’s time to clean things up More good examples Don’t be shy, start playing with typefaces
User experience design In most cases, user experience design (UXD or UED) fully encompasses traditional human-computer interaction (HCI) design, and extends it by addressing all aspects of a product or service as perceived by users.[1] User experience is any aspect of a person's interaction with a given IT system, including the interface, graphics, industrial design, physical interaction, and the manual.[2] History[edit] The field of user experience design has roots in human factors and ergonomics, a field that, since the late 1940s, has focused on the interaction between human users, machines, and the contextual environments to design systems that address the user's experience.[3] With the proliferation of workplace computers in the early 1990s, user experience became an important concern for designers. Elements of User Experience Design[edit] With the rise of the information age, many generalizations of the components have been based on the building blocks of the user experience design of digital systems.
Responsive CSS Framework Comparison: Bootstrap, Foundation, Skeleton Bootstrap 4.0.0-alpha is a fairly large update to the framework. It has dropped Less support in favor of Sass, converted from px-based to rem-based sizing, improved its grid system, and dropped IE8 support.

In addition to this update, Bootstrap now offers themes at themes.getbootstrap.com. Also, Bootstrap will continue supporting version 3, unlike the dropping of version 2 support after the release of version 3. You can read more here. Foundation 6 is a fairly major update which includes more grid flexibility, custom breakpoints, optional flexbox, and more. Like Bootstrap 4, Flexbox is now toggleable via Sass in Foundation 6. The Sass/CSS has been reworked and consolidated, and there are fewer default styles to override on common elements. Skeleton 2 was updated in December 2014 after remaining mostly unchanged for about three years.

Responsive Images Community Group Meeting report On Tuesday, the 10th September, 2013 various W3C members and folks from the developer community got together at Mozilla’s Paris offices to try to agree on a way forward for responsive images. As no official minutes were taken during the meetup, this meeting summary is based on the following unofficial notes and blog posts from attendees: Many thanks to the authors above for allowing their text to be reused here. Meeting outcomes Browser vendors agree that srcset + DPR-switching is the right initial step forward (i.e., the 2x, 3x, etc. syntax). What the meeting was about Responsive Images can be broken down into three main use-cases: DPR Switching: Serving higher res images only to devices with higher device pixel ratio (aka Retina devices).Viewport Switching: Serving smaller images to smaller or lower-resolution screens.Art Direction: Serving a different (often cropped) version of an image to a smaller screen, highlighting the important parts given the smaller space.
