Scope of Web Designing in 2016 – Past, Present and Future

When you hear the word “the web,” what crosses your mind?

For me, it would be a beautifully designed aesthetic website that has some appealing colors, images, videos and a little bit of information. That is all that the web means for most of us.

Some people take it to posting selfies on their Instagram and Facebook profiles and let me do some guesswork here; the web is all about selfying for these people.

Posting selfies, updating statuses, online shopping, or E-learning, whatever we do, undoubtedly today the web is an inseparable part of our lives.

Let us not underestimate the power of web designs and the geniuses of web designers in weaving the web magic.

Here the question is what about the scope and future of Web Design?

If someone were to ask this question to me, I would say that it is infinite.

Now web Designers you will never be out of a job because the internet needs you for its survival and vice-versa.

Your career may get sealed if one fine morning the internet decides to fade away.

Sounds rude! But, unfortunately, that is a bitter truth and forms one of our worst nightmares.

No worries! Your job is safe! The internet has no plans to quit at present. So enjoy and be proud to be a webie.

Let me cheer you up with some awesome news about my anticipations and expert views on what the future and scope of the web will be.

I can assure you that the Internet will continue ruling the world with 100% confidence.

I don’t know how many of you are aware of the fact that the first kind of the Internet also referred to as the Intranet came to be launched somewhere around the 1960’s. Since then there has been no looking back though there has been inevitable and unprecedented progress every other day.

And, we are all living evidence of this growth that continues to dominate millions of people all around the world.

The evolution of the first website:

I have done my research before I set out to help you, and my sources reveal that Tim Berners-Lee was the person to create the first website design as early as in the 90’s.

To be precise the exact date when the world got its first website is on the 1st of August, 1991.

Almost 26 years have gone by since the first site was launched. Have you ever wondered what was your first website like?

Let me tell you:

This first website has content that described what the World Wide Web is all about and also it contains a few links.

The HTML page was a single-column design, and some inline links were fused in. Don’t know whether the new gen kids like you have ever seen what this resembles?

If you have had the luck to study the history of web designing or how it evolved, you might be aware of the standard structure of HTML pages that is more or less content based with a few tags like the heading, paragraphs and links.

As time passed, newer versions started replacing these and also we had updates like options to include images, tables, graphics and more…

The Web is the property of all and not any single person. So, there should be some way to prevent individuals or organizations from disturbing the built-in ecosystem of the web.

Emergence of the World Wide Web Consortium:

Commonly known as the W3 Consortium, which came to be formed in the year 1994 brought along with it the standardization of the web.

It qualified HTML as the standard for marking up web pages.

As time passed, several changes evolved, and we got table-based designs, followed by design over structure, flash based web designs, Macromedia Shockwave, DHTML, 3DML, CSS-Based designs and what not.

Future of Web Designs:

Let me be frank with the things, as we have discussed the Internet has its roots of origin to somewhere back in the year 1969 and it took almost more than 30 years for it to evolve and reach the common man all around the world.

So, my point is there are several things around us, and it takes not more than a minimum of 25-30 years for it to become a trend and an inseparable part of our lives.

Let me take some other examples that include the CTSS Mail Service, which came to be launched in the year 1965 but it was not until in the 1990’s that Email services became available for people all over the world.

Similarly, the wearable computers that have become quite a trend now have its origin somewhere in the 1980’s and today Apple iWatch, Google Glasses and all are a part of our lives.

So, what you are doing today will become a trend for years to come.

These are examples of technology though the design is an equally important thing. For that matter, if you check out the WordPress plugins that we use, each has evolved over time with an improvement in its functionality and beauty.

How can we connect technology and web design?

As you see the kind of web designs that we have are responsive, single page web design, material design, card design, etc.

The need for different types of designs depends on the content that you are viewing and the kind of device that is being used to view the content.

Some might use desktops, laptops, tablets, or mobile for accessing the websites.

The way we view these digitized documents has not changed much as cited by Nathan B. Weller.

It looks like we are entering the contextual age as predicted by computer scientists decades back.

So, where will this Contextual age take us to?

Contextual computing is nothing but, there will be a point of time when technology will trace what our needs are and what we are yearning to, what we wish to do, and accordingly integrate all these to make our lives easier without any botheration or effort from our side.

I just can’t wait to be a part of the Age of Context.

There exist five virtual or augmented objects that are the inseparable part of the Age of Context and these includes.

Understanding the Basics of Web Designing:

The basic role of a web designer entails one to employ several skill sets in the production and maintenance of Web Sites. To deliver appropriate quality, they would need to harness knowledge in the following areas:

• Graphic design

• Interface design

• Authoring using standardized code and proprietary software

• User experience design

• Search engine optimization

While the above mentioned are merely enablers that help him or her bag the job the real skill set required to enable them to keep the job goes much deeper than this. It centers on the inherent need for a Web Designer to possess an aesthetic sense and ability to empathize with the audience to deliver an enhanced web viewing experience through their designs.
