Web design is the process of creating websites.. It encompasses many different skills and disciplines in the production and maintenance of websites. It involves several different aspects, including webpage layout, content production, and graphic design. Web design used to be designing websites for desktop browsers however design for mobile and tablet browsers has become ever-increasingly vital.

Websites are created using a markup language called HTML. Web designers develop webpages using HTML tags that define the content and metadata of each page. The layout and appearance of the elements within a webpage are typically defined using CSS, or cascading style sheets. Therefore, most websites include a combination of HTML and CSS that defines how each page will appear in a browser.

Some web designers prefer to hand code pages (typing HTML and CSS from scratch), while others use a “WYSIWYG” editor like Adobe Dreamweaver. This type of editor provides a visual interface for designing the webpage layout and the software automatically generates the corresponding HTML and CSS code. Another popular way to design websites is with a content management system like WordPress or Joomla. These services provide different website templates that can be used as a starting point for a new website. Webmasters can then add content and customize the layout using a web-based interface. At Arkbird Enterprises, we use all these methods to design websites based on various factors such as cost, time and customer satisfaction
