Web
site engineering requires a diverse skill set, often requiring a
team of complementary talents to achieve desired results
Your comments
about web site design are not only welcome, but
are encouraged. Below is a semi-concise list of topics that a designer should be well versed
in to be a top down, fully vertical Web site constructor.
Web topics
 Solid writing skills include good vocabulary and grammar with the ability
to discuss a variety of topics from technical to
artistic. Most quality Web sites will also enlist the services of a
proof reader or better yet multiple proof readers.
 A
strong
background in computers, including Operating Systems, programming,
graphics packages and internet tools is essential. Below is a brief
list of items that are important for a developer to know.
- Platforms and Environments
Windows, Dos, LAN, Internet, TCP/IP, Web Servers.
- Programming
C++, Basic, VB, VB Script, ASP, HTML, DHTML, XML, Java, JavaScript, CSS and
lastly CGI.
- Graphics
Adobe PhotoShop, Aldus Photo Styler (old but it
works for me), Image Composer, Flash & Freehand, Photo Draw 2000, MS Gif Animator, Graphics Work Shop,
Gif Constructor,
Photo Impact, 3D Studio, Asymetrix 3D FX.
- Internet
FTP, HTTP, FrontPage, Homesite, CSE, Ping

 The
designer should have a good
understanding of color theory and contemporary Art/Web site design. The
ability to provide original content that is pleasing, and the tasteful
use of
metaphor are also important to the impression you leave with your
visitors.
Design goals should be to provide
clients with the most
cost effective Web based solutions for their needs. Creating
visually distinctive Web site designs is a top priority. Some current design
content on the internet is derivative and at least pretentious. Less
is often more.
