11 May SO,SHOULD I GO WITH A FIXED RESOLUTION OR FLEXIBLE RESOLUTION DESIGN?
Read the following concepts and ideas related to design and web page construction. Using these readings as the basis for a position paper outlining your overall philosophy of the principles of design for web pages. You may reference the textbook for this class for additional information.
Reading One
They say in real estate there are 3 “Ls†– location, location, location
I say in building web sites there are 3 “Ds†– design, design, design
We are often tempted to skip over or fly through the design phase of the project. We want to jump right to the creation of the page. But, careful consideration of things such as connection speed, layout, resolution, graphics, fonts and the like are key to having a successful Web site. Would you build a house without blueprints? Why then, should be build our “virtual house†without a blueprint?
How many of you have a high speed connection? The odds are good that all of you do, especially since you are taking an online course. Now, how many of the people who are going to visit your web sites will have high speed access? If you are building site primarily for US users, again, the odds are pretty high. What about if you are really building for a “global market� This really depends upon your audience. If you are building a site aimed at Central or South America, what is the market penetration of high speed access? My guess is that there are not as many users with high speed access yet in those areas as there are in the US. Even with high speed access, how many of you will wait a long time for content to load? You have seconds, not minutes to capture and captivate your audience.
In addition to the challenge of speed, you must always remember the types of computers that your users may potentially be using. For those of us who always have the latest, greatest, fastest hardware and software it is really hard to remember that most people live in a “less upgraded†world. For example, you have no control over the user’s screen resolution. I have colleagues that have a 22†monitor and are still running at a lower resolution because the greater number of pixels per inch makes “everything bigger.†I run at the highest resolution my computer can put out on my 22†monitor. When I am designing Web pages, I have to keep this difference in mind. If I build for my preferences, ½ or more of my information will not even been on the screen for my colleagues in a fixed resolution design.
So,should I go with a fixed resolution or flexible resolution design? Centered or left aligned? Which is better? I believe that it depends upon the type of site you are building, the types of users that you are targeting and how you want your site to look and feel. In the text, you have examples of different kinds of designs. It is a matter of evaluating what you want to do and figuring out what will work best for your design.
