Web Page Design

Web page design is very different from the print media. A web page which looks astonishingly beautiful on your computer might be completely messed up on another. In the print media, you are quite sure that whatever you design on the computer will show up on paper. However, the display of the web page is determined by many factors most of which are beyond our control. The display of a web page is strongly dependent on the browser on which it is viewed, the screen resolution used by the monitor, color depth of the monitor, compatable fonts, the operating system used by the computer and much more. I write the code for my web pages to conform to the Microsoft Internet Explorer-Microsoft Edge browser standard with a screen resolution of 1440 x 900 pixels.

To change your screen resolution Open Personalization and Appearance in Control Panel. Click on Adjust Screen Resolation. Drag the slider until you select the screen resolution you want, and then click Apply. When prompted to apply the settings, click OK. Your screen will turn black for a moment. Once your screen resolution changes, you have 15 seconds to confirm the change. Click Yes to confirm the change. Click No or do nothing to revert to your previous setting.
