What is the differense in designing for the web and designing for print? Is it the same and goes hand in hand – or is it something that is completely different from each other?
Recently I got an oppertunity to work with a newspaper company with both web and printing material.
The plot – Making a unique design for their printed newspaper and apply it seamless to the web. Is this even possible? Well this is a har question that I had to ask myself before even going into the project. Is there a difference on web and print when i comes to designing. Most would say offcourse there is a difference – but is it really? Yes the webbdesign is mor lively and hopefully more intreractive and the printing is more strict and bound to basic rules, the eye reads from top left and down to bottom right and se shapes before text and so on.
Well when it comes to the web these rules really dont apply that easily but there are still som BIG similarities with the rules.
Its all about catching the eye!
How this is done is pretty different but still the same basic rules based on well known fact and psychology done for hundreds of years.
So what is the psychology behind the design? Well this is where the two differs from each other. In printed design as I mentioned before the eye reads from top left diagonal to down right. In a website the eye scans half the diagonal page meaning the bottom right is a ”dead spot”. What does this tell us? In printed material you are able to put for instance a logotype in the upper corner and the adress in the bottom right corner and be pretty sure that the reader will se the both important elements. In a website the bottom corner is pretty dead as I mentioned, This means you have to put all important information on the upper left side of the website. This is where designing differs. Shapes and forms is a real eye cacher as well as faces and people. And this actually goes for both websites and printed material. Lets say you have a white page with text. What would happen if you in the middle of the page put a big green triangle. Well that answer is pretty simple right. Offcourse the eye would have to look in that box first. In this cas if you put some text inside that green box you can be pretty shure that the reader will see the text inside that green box.
This is just one of plenty psychological mechanisms you can use to make both your print and webbdesign better for the reader/user.

You need to run your website sustainably by keeping in mind that your overhead costs are minimal. Website hosting has to be stable as it’s very obvious that if web hosting site falls your site will also see a downfall.
A slow hosting site will make your site slow to load which can create problem for users who access your site. Your users will certainly not appreciate that your site is very slow. This can eventually make them stop using your site which can make you lose your business. For example if you have websites that sell phone cards online but the website is too slow. Your customer will end up running away to another website as they cannot buy any phone card from your website at all. So you need to take a proper web hosting company at a proper package as very high rates which are beyond your limits won’t be worth at the end.
Today most of the web hosting companies are giving you facility to pay them their money on a monthly basis and even you can pay them money for a period of one, two or three years. This is beneficiary as you don’t need to spend much money at a time and can save money to make profits.
Now the next question which troubles us is how to select a package as there are lots of packages available provided by web hosting companies which vary by options, prizes and size? All we need to see the benefits in each of them and whichever gives maximum benefit should be considered. Apart from this choice of package is affected by the content and the amount of websites that you plan to add in your account as there is option to occupy more than one.
New players who come into market needs to start his business should go for small or medium packages provided by web hosting companies and if he is successful he can think go ahead. But in case you being unsuccessful than there is probability that you won’t have anything to add in your web hosting account.
Web hosting has both low and high packages so it doesn’t matter what package you go for, you can always upgrade and downgrade. You might be charged to downgrade so while selecting a package this fee should be also considered. Packages start at a very low rate of $4 and it increases as high as you want. All you need to see that for your web hosting which is affordable!
If someone starts a website for its own personal use and doesn’t have much to add than he would be charged only $3 or $4 per month. This is very nominal to get into web hosting.
On the contrary if you choose a web hosting company that gets you What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) you might be charged $10 to $15 per month for smallest space that you acquire. But if this is the only thing you want than you have to get it.
In the end whatever web hosting you chooses for you all that matters is that you choose a web hosting company according to your considering how much you can afford. I hope that you will choose a correct web hosting provider for you at a low cost who will allow you to upgrade your website according to your requirements.
