> Chapter 8 discusses the elements beyond the basic web and the content and resources that are used to develop an applicable web site. I must admit I found this chapter to be the least effective in communicating to me what I should include in my web development. I find it hard to understand formatting and databases that I should use but hopefully I’ll be able to find out more as I review the chapter.
> The content in your web site needs to gain a lot of responsibility to be compelling. It needs to be useful, consistent, informative and applicable so that your audience can experience an up-to-date and unique page.
> To keep the content in your site consistent and relevant it is best to use dynamic content publishing that way it’s easier to make changes and allows you to automatically update your site.
> Another plus about using dynamic content publishing is that you’re able to focus your navigation and content to your audience. For example, when a certain visitor goes to your site their favorite items will be listed such as links, products and interests allowing for a closer relationship with you and your visitor.
> Wroblewski states that the “only constant in web design is variation” which is agreeable and often true when designing a web site that has its own look and feel and can be distinct from the thousands of others out there. It’s often hard to construct a layout and template when different settings throughout computers easily construe your design into completely something different from your original.
> This statement from Wroblewski definitely relates to my opinions when it comes to the web and design. –“No wonder many designers coming from the print world end up fighting against the very nature of the web.”- Couldn’t have said it better myself, Wroblewski.
> Anyway, the best way to maintain your web site is to use applicable variables that will help with the content being up-to-date and convenient.
> Templates are a great way to keep your content organized and dynamic. It’s best to use a template when you want to showcase products from a store, etc.
> Once you’ve set up your template its key to ask yourself questions relating to html, content, layout, hierarchy and structure of your page. You want your site to contain content that is deliberative and useful.
> Web applications are an extensive entity in itself but with careful planning of your template and content it is worth the effort to create a unique interface that will get your audiences attention and your satisfaction.
