Us: Background |
We began web design in early 1994,
shortly after the whole thing began. Web pages, then, were
aligned on the left, had a plain grey background and had little
in the way of graphics or movement. They were quite static.
There were only a few html editors and they really didn't offer
much, were not adaptable to change nor was there much in the way
of information on how to design so it was essentially a learning
process in the truest sense. Most coding was done with notepad
by hand. There were very few people
designing and anything one knew was kept to one's self. So it
was really a difficult process. Netscape was the only decent
browser and fit on one 31/2" floppy disk(1.44 mb), the
latest version (8) is 18.2 mb.
Windows 3 was
the flavour of the month.
It was a nice big change from having to remember all that DOS
code!
Later we taught HTML and basic web design at the Open Learning
Agency (part of PBS).
We do not pretend to know all there is to know about design as
it is constantly changing and improving in its scope. We
are still learning. |
