Web Design

• Defines functional structures for the user.

• Design of different elements such as functional maps, user flows, user interfaces, interactive designs, responsive designs, etc.

• Objectives: the best user experience and optimization of processes.

• Graphic design.

• Digital marketing.

Web Programming

• It includes functional aspects with a practical approach, materializing the structural basis of the project.

• Among the main functions of web development are the layout of the HTML and CSS interface, the interactive design with JavaScript, the definition of "responsive" interface rules for all target devices, the optimization of resources, the deployment of web applications in the server and its correct operation, and carrying out the necessary tests.

• Programming.

Web Development

• Process of creating and maintaining a website that is functional on the Internet, through different programming languages, depending on the model and the corresponding part of the page.

• Front-end. It is the part that interacts with the user, both in image and function. Therefore it is closely related to the "user experience" (UX) and the "user interface" (UI).

• Back-end. It is the part that is in direct contact with the server. It is where the programming code is applied to create the structure. Remains in the background in charge of accessibility, updating, databases and site changes.

Stages of Web Development

• 1. Definition of the project profile.

• 2. Work planning.

• 3. Website design.

• 4. Determination of contents.

• 5. Code development.

• 6. Review and verification of the operation of the site.

• 7. Website upload/publishing.

• 8. Evaluation and optimization.

• 9. Maintenance.

Most Used Languages ​​in Web Development

• 1.HTML. One of the most important programming languages ​​used in the frontend of a website. Its writing helps give structure and organization to the content of a web page, through a tree-type arrangement. It is configured through tags or hypertexts that allow websites to be found in search engines.

• 2.CSS. Cascading style sheets. Programming language that works in perfect harmony with HTML on the frontend. It is a very useful tool for specifying the appearance and position of elements on the site.

• 3. JavaScript. One of the most appreciated languages. With it it is very easy to create interactive and dynamic sites (such as animations, forms, games, galleries, buttons, etc.), which are in high demand today. Its code is also reflected on the frontend. It is based on objects that can be easily arranged and reused.

• 4. PHP. One of the pioneering languages ​​of the transition from fixed sites to interactive sites. It works on the backend side. It is one of the most used languages ​​because it is open source, with almost 30 years of experience. It is also considered one of the largest there is. It can be embedded in the HTML without any problem.

• 5. Java. One of its great advantages is that it is written only once and can be run on different devices and operating systems, thanks to its "virtual machine" (JVM). It corresponds to the backend of a web application. It has efficient code, automatic memory, and timely error detection.

• 6.Python. One of the most innovative web development languages ​​so far, due to its "multiparadigm" characteristic, which is capable of adapting to various programming styles and creating applications of any type. It is open source and its writing is very similar to human language. It is part of the backend of a site.

Web Development Trends

• 1. Dark mode. Multiple platforms and applications are betting on changing the white background for black. This is especially pleasing to most users, because there is less eye strain, battery savings, and more pleasant navigation through the site.

• 2. Custom cursor. Another trend that is increasing in web design is the use of unique cursors for each site. The white arrow is becoming increasingly obsolete. Instead, they are experimenting with new shapes, sizes and colors.

• 3. Use of the SPA. The "single page application" (SPA) is a technology that seeks to create a single page website for better navigation fluidity, without having to redirect and load other sections. Frameworks have been especially helpful in developing this trend.

• 4. Dynamic scroll. The nature of scrolling is also transforming. Several effects and animations have been added when starting them up. Likewise, its horizontal movement has also changed to a vertical one.

• 5. Web development with AI. It is no surprise that artificial intelligence is included in web development to improve user experience, optimize voice searches, implement the use of chatbots, provide personalized content, and more. A great example of this is Adobe Sensei technology.

• 6. 3D images. Web development with 3D images refers to the use of specialized technology and software to create three-dimensional images and animations that can be integrated into websites and web applications. It can include 3D modeling, lighting, texturing, animation, and rendering. Artists and designers use specialized software tools, such as Maya, 3ds Max, Blender, and Cinema 4D, to create 3D models and animations.

• 7. Progressive Web Apps (PWA). "Progressive Web Apps" (PWA) are web applications that can be used in any browser. They also have native mobile app features. They use modern web technologies to deliver a high-quality user experience, even when the user is offline. They update automatically in the background, meaning users will always have the latest version of the app.

• 8. Cross-platform app development. Cross-platform application development is the process of creating applications that can run on different operating systems and devices with a single code base. This means that developers can create an app and then release it on multiple platforms, such as iOS and Android, without having to develop a separate app for each platform.
