From passive to dynamic to interactive, website design has
evolved rapidly. A web browser today is the point for interaction and a
launch pad for apps with a host of functionalities in the background.
While refining technologies, developers have also paved the way for
sophisticated visuals, making it easy for visitors to navigate the site
and record better satisfaction. Of the many developments in recent year,
a few noteworthy ones are:
Interactivity Rose to a Higher Level
Technologies like ASP, Ajax, Jquery and LAMP have added whole new features, making it easy for visitors to interact. You notice this in the way when you hover your mouse pointer over a link, a small pop up appears and displays information. You can click to know more and it can be in the form of a pop up or a separate box. You need not leave the main page.
Menu and Navigation Systems
Pop out or fly out menus or drop down menus are not a new concept but the way they are incorporated along with a streamlined navigation system makes for a happier browsing experience. Users can navigate to the pages they are interested in. Web designers can subtly design navigation to lead visitors to the desired locations. Not all websites are considerate. Some have a landing page where you must enter your email details to proceed.
