Web Design and its Components

In Chapter 1, Evolution of Web Design we looked at how web design has evolved since the first web page of Sir Tim Berners-Lee in 1990. Throughout those years, we saw new elements and styles emerging in website design. Some elements will help the user navigate through the website, some will help tell a story, but most importantly, all of them have the potential to improve the visitor's experience. In this chapter, I will help you understand each component, its usage, and why it's useful. Let's dive into it!

The following is a list of the components we'll be covering:

  • Grids
  • Call to Action
  • Breadcrumb
  • Search bar
  • Icons
  • Modal
  • Typography
  • Colors
  • Usability
  • Consistency
