The
InternetExperience refers to the "
LookAndFeel" of the internet, namely how pages look, act, and behave. Pages such as most of the pages on this
WikiWikiWeb would have a different experience than, say, a
WebSite that relies heavily on
MacromediaFlash animations. Generally, you can group it into two categories:
FormExperience: How the page looks. The
MacromediaFlash-heavy
WebSite would have a more
EstheticallyPleasing design than, say, this
WikiWikiWeb.
FunctionExperience: How the page performs. The
MacromediaFlash-heavy
WebSite would be completely incompatible with a
PlainText InternetBrowser such as
LynxBrowser, and would tend to have too much
VisualClutter to perform better than, say, this
WikiWikiWeb.
Generally, for a
WebDesigner is to concentrate on
FunctionExperience before
FormExperience - This
WikiWikiWeb lends itself to look bland, however it's simple and intuitive to use. (These rules also apply to
ComputerProgramming in general.)
