IDD 410- Ch 8

Site Seeing
1. Many people learned the hard way that it is not that easy to make money on the web.
2. “Lets face it, the web is a medium fraught with variables. We have seen how the differences in browsers, their settings, monitors, and operating systems can alter carefully constructed layouts, much to the frustration of the designer.” (297)
3. “Careful initial thought to how and where content can be applied within your site should always precede any dynamic publishing development efforts.” (298)
4. When accommodating for the browser variability, the designer should really only devote time to those with Netscape and Microsoft pre 4.0 and then the differences between Navigator and Explorer.
5. Even though different web applications incorporate complex forms of interaction, it’s the visual communication standard that allows them to communicate with the audience and remain the same.
6. When creating a popup within their own page, it’s useful to create one without all of the toolbars and menus which may congest the area and detract the viewer.
7. It is useful to avoid at all costs using a nonstandard form of interaction.
8. Many people believe the information they find on the web should be provided to them free of cost.
9. Early on, it became apparent that basic HTML websites were only effective to a certain point.
10. While there are many different web applications, they are all still in their infancy and are being created without consideration as to how they visually communicate.
