Web Design and its Components

In Chapter 1, Evolution of Web Design we looked at how web design has evolved since the first web page of Sir Tim Berners-Lee in 1990. Throughout those years, we saw new elements and styles emerging in website design. Some elements will help the user navigate through the website, some will help tell a story, but most importantly, all of them have the potential to improve the visitor's experience. In this chapter, I will help you understand each component, its usage, and why it's useful. Let's dive into it!

The following is a list of the components we'll be covering:

• Grids
• Call to Action
• Breadcrumb
• Search bar
• Icons
• Modal
• Typography
• Colors
• Usability
• Consistency
