Knowing Website Design Styles

Posted by editor on May 19, 2008

It would be helpful to familiarize ourselves with how websites differ from each other in terms of design and style, according to cultural and social factors, in order to see clearly how the Web has evolved over the years. Websites are also communities that is why we can observe that design and styles are dictated by what is deemed appropriate and appealing to a certain group of people. For example, websites from Mainland China have their distinctive pop-up windows which can be opened by using left-clicks, while Japanese websites are characterized by the use of bright colors and anime characters. There are other websites, such as those from the Netherlands and other Dutch-speaking online groups, which place emphasis on the use of flash and visual images to enhance the look of innovativeness.
