Webpage design

Name: Anonymous 2009-05-13 2:20

So after learning HTML/JavaScript/CSS/etc. and being familiar with  how to use them, how can I learn to format pages so they actually look nice?

That requires learning some design skills and developing a sense of aesthetics.
HTML/JavaScript/CSS/etc. are just the toolbox.  The artist or craftsman is still required.

Remember, content is more important than presentation.

Remember the 7 features of a well-designed GUI:
* Clear
* Concise
* Familiar
* Consistent
* Attractive
* Efficient
* Forgiveness (undo capabilities)

Which of those is most important?

Importance is uniformly distributed amongst each of those seven features.

Which ones should a person focus on?

None. You should focus on all of them equally.

i don't know how web designers do it.
whenever i've been faced with a web project i can never be bothered making it look pretty, i just have black text on a white backround with blue hyperlinks and maybe a table or two

OP here, yes that is what I do too.

>That requires learning some design skills and developing a sense of aesthetics.
Yeah... How the hell do I do that?  And then figure out how to code it?

The Non-Designer's Design Book: Design and Typographic Principles for the Visual Novice, by Robin Williams.

I've seen this recommened from time to time, though I never bothered to actually buy it.

i don't know how web designers do it.
In Photoshop. If you don't mock up first, it's likely it will look like shit.

Also, use a restrictive CSS framework like Blueprint. It will make it harder to do horrible abominations.

I am never forget the day I first meet the great Lobachevsky.
In one word he told me secret of success in mathematics:
Plagiarize!

Plagiarize,
Let no one else's work evade your eyes,
Remember why the good Lord made your eyes,
So don't shade your eyes,
But plagiarize, plagiarize, plagiarize -
Only be sure always to call it please 'research'.
