Advancement of Web Design
Over time I think that websites will increase in size. This is because the older resolution monitors will be phased out and the majority of people will have newer monitors capable of higher resolution. In the future, the small amount of people that still have old computers with small monitors will be forced to either upgrade or constantly scroll. Websites in general have advanced tremendously over the last ten years. If someone has an older computer, they will have difficulty viewing the websites of today and scrolling for a long time will be the least of their worries. In terms of mobile devices, a program similar to the iPhone will become necessary. Hopefully in the future all mobile devices capable of viewing the internet will have a similar program so the internet is in its true form. This will allow users to see the pages they wish to view but not need to worry about scrolling forever. I think that if websites were larger we would be able to include more content and include more interesting material. This would open doors for websites and allow designers to have more space to work with. Even though the new bigger websites will include more or have a better spaced out setup, they will still be just as easy to navigate. I definitely see this as a possibility for the future.

ReplyDeleteI agree that as monitors are built larger, web designers will need to accommodate those needs. This will enable web developers to utilize more of a single page resulting in less links and pages. This would make it easier for visitors to use the site as less navigation would be required. In fact, larger website could have just as easy, if not easier, navigability as smaller or less spacious ones do.
ReplyDeleteI think that by creating sites that are only visible/naviagible on larger screens is limiting the clientelle of your business. Unless your business is targeted for the large screens or ipods, it does not make much sense to limit your possibilities.
ReplyDeleteIm not totally sure that enlarging the actual size of the websites would really keep the navigation intact. I think it is more likely that they will try to keep the design together and perhaps enlarge a few bits here and there.
