After screen resolution, color display, gamma, and typography are considered… compatibility jumps on the scene.
Compatibility relates to different browsers such as Internet Explorer, FireFox, Opera, and others.
Each one interprets the code that makes a website, differently. One may place an image where a designer wishes… the other… may not be as accommodating.
In print, an element stays where you put it. On the web, it can move around depending on the browser it’s viewed in.

At one time or another in every life, one decides that he or she would like to open a business. You may be tired of someone else getting rich from your efforts or maybe you want the freedom that goes with owning a business.But, is it enough just to want your own business. What does owning a business mean? What does it take to be an entrepreneur? What do you need to open a successful business? There are thousands of businesses that open one year and within a few years are closed. Everyone has been to a restaurant or store one time and when they r
A friend of mine, a print designer, hates web design. He complains that, “It’s too constricting.”
He’s right.
Designing for print and the web are very different. In general, print design is very precise. Every pica can be measured and every inch calculated. Web design, on the other hand, is ambiguous. On the web, your design could be seen differently depending on the computer you use. There are no fixed rules or set behaviors.
It’s very frustrating.
But don’t lose hope! If, as a web designer, you can embrace the limitations the web brings, you can take advantage of its benefits!
Here are some of the primary differences between designing for print and the web:
- Screen Resolution
Screen resolution is related to how many pixels can be fit on your computer monitor. In the past, the most common resolution was 800x600. Thankfully, this is slowly creeping up to 1024x768.
This may seem like a small concern, but to a web designer, it is everything.
If they design for a screen resolution that is too high, essential pieces of the design could be missing. This means that sites designed for a screen resolution of 1024x768, are cropped when viewed at a resolution of 800x600.
The issue then becomes, what resolution should a designer work with? The easy answer is, “Whatever the most commonly used resolution is.”
- Colors
Once the screen resolution bridge is crossed, we move on to color issues.
Did you know that PCs and Macs display colors differently? They do.
Somewhat thankfully, there is a palette of 216 colors, called the “color safe palette,” that allows web designers to use colors that display the same way on both systems.
For a print designer, however, with a palette of over 4 billion unique colors, switching to 216 colors can be quite a challenge.
If a designer is defiant and discards the 216 color palette, they open themselves to arbitrary color substitutions. In other words, the shade of gray that a designer wants may be replaced by a different shade when it is displayed on a PC or Mac.
- Gamma
Gamma, or brightness, also plays a role in a website’s appearance.
With print, gamma is consistent with the surrounding environment. However, it can vary greatly on a computer monitor, producing results such as designs that are too bright or too dark.
To correct this issue, every person surfing the web would have to calibrate their browser to the same standard. An impossibility to say the least.
- Typography
Typography, or the look of the text, is also a consideration.
Just like print design, web designers can use any font or text style they wish. However, they must consider if the font is installed on a web user’s computer.
If a web designer wants all the text on a web site to be written in the “Poor Richard” type face, they better hope every web visitor has that font installed on their computer.
If not, it will be substituted. More than likely, with a less than similar replacement.

Yet another slight variance to consider.
In about 85 percent of all business sales, sellers accept a cash down payment and a promissory note to pay the balance in installments. The note is personally guaranteed by the buyer, and it is secured by the business and its assets in case the buyer defaults. Providing owner financing allows sellers to cater to a broader pool of potential buyers.However, many sellers don’t want to be in the lending business and would prefer not to hold business notes. The good news is: they don’t have to. If you created a business note to unload your company, you c

- Javascript, Multimedia Plugins, Etc.
The last thing a web designer considers is javascript and various multimedia plugins. This is especially important to consider when using the Macromedia Flash plugin or using javascript for validation.
If the end user doesn’t have the needed plugin or have javascript enabled, all the work a web designer put into a site is lost.

Many self-employed professionals THINK they have a clear idea of exactly what their best clients are all about, but often, this is just demographic information (male/female, size of company, geography, etc.). In my book, that’s simply not enough information. You’re just skimming the surface there.If you want to start attracting your ideal clients in droves, it’s time to do some serious drilling-down to find out as much as you can about that target’s critical problems. Without knowing their critical problems, challenges, issues a

One of the biggest challenges faced by those who are opening a dollar store is associated with inventory management. While sales may only be in the hundreds or low thousands on most days, that still means that an equal number (100’s to 1,000’s) of items have been sold and need to be recognized as no longer being available for sale. Faster selling item inventories need to be managed to insure that adequate inventory is maintained to allow sales to continue. Slowest selling items need to be recognized to determine the right steps to take in increasing sales

This article will provide brief overview about the concept and definition of leadership, set of competencies required and choices of power available for leaders through which they can work for organizational benefits.There is no second thought about the fact that like in normal social life, organizations cannot deny existence and effectiveness of leadership for organizational objectives. In the simplest way, leadership can de defined as influencing other to act towards the attainment of a goal (Rehfeld, 1994, Greenwood, 1993) that in organizational

Suffice to say, web designers have many things to consider before they can hail their work as a success. With a variety of variables, it’s amazing that they accomplish anything!
So the next time you meet with your web designer… give them a big hug. God knows they need it!
