Web design is a broad term covering many different skills and disciplines that are used in the production and maintenance of websites.The different areas of web design include: web graphic design, interface design, authoring, standardised code and proprietary software, user experience design and search engine optimisation. Often many individuals will work in teams covering different aspects of the design process, although some designers will cover them all.The term web design is normally used to describe the design process relating to the front-end (client side) design of a website including writing mark up, but this is a grey area as this is also covered by web development. Web designers are expected to have an awareness of usability and if their role involves creating mark up then they are also expected to be up to date with web accessibility guidelines.

Although web design has a fairly recent history, it can be linked to other areas such as graphic design. However, web design is also seen as a technological standpoint. It has become a large part of people’s everyday lives. It is hard to imagine the Internet without animated graphics, different styles of typography, background and music. In 1996, Microsoft released its first competitive browser, which was complete with its own features and tags. It was also the first browser to support style sheets, which at the time was seen as an obscure authoring technique. CSS was introduced in December 1996 by the W3C to improve web accessibility and to make HTML code semantic rather than presentational.

Table-based layouts became very popular as they gave web designers more options for creating websites. The HTML markup for tables was originally for displaying tabular data. However designers quickly realised the potential of what structural elements they could add to their designs.

They soon created more complicated, multi-column layouts than HTML was originally capable of. However this time did see little attention shown towards the semantics and web accessibility as design and good aesthetics seemed to take precedence over good mark-up structure.

This period also saw spacer GIFs become very popular for controlling the dimensions of web layouts. HTML sites were limited in their design options, even more so with earlier versions of HTML. To create complex designs, many web designers had to use complicated table structures or even use blank images for spacing.However in 1996 Flash (originally known as FutureSplash) was developed. At the time it was of a very simple layout basic tools and a timeline but it enabled web designers to go beyond the point of HTML. It has now progressed to be very powerful, enabling it to develop entire sites
