<div class="exwrapper"> | |
<div class="col13"> | |
<h2>FRONT-END DESIGN</h2><p>A front-end designer’s goal is to make websites that are easily understood and accessible. This includes cross-browser, cross-platform, and cross device testing. As a designer I am concerned with the content, colors, theme, accessibility, page loading, usability, and most importantly the end-users experience.</p></div> | |
<div class="col13"> | |
<h2>RESPONSIVE WEB DESIGN</h2><p>is an approach that is aimed at providing the best viewing experience regardless of the device, browser, platform, or resolution. Responsive Web Design (RWD) provides an easy way to read and navigate the website with minimal resizing, panning, and scrolling.</p></div> | |
<div class="col13"> | |
<h2>INTERFACE DESIGN</h2><p>is the design of websites, applications, and software with the focus on the user’s experience and interaction. The purpose is to make an efficient and simple interface where the user doesn’t have to think about how to accomplish their goals. This design process has to balance technical functionality and visual design that will adapt to the wide variety of users and needs</p></div> | |
