What is Web Design?
Web design refers to the process of planning and creating websites, including layout, colors, fonts, images, and interactive elements. Modern web design goes beyond pure aesthetics and considers user experience (UX), responsive design for different devices, accessibility, performance, and SEO. Good web design combines visual appeal with functionality and usability. It follows current design trends but remains timeless enough not to look outdated quickly. Web design works closely with web development, where design handles the visual layer and development handles technical implementation.
