designers have become simple web pages of information sources inflated windows

What happens when you click a web link? Here is one answer: an application running from your computer to a server identified by the URL of the desired link. The server then locates the Web page for your records and return them to your browser, which is shown on the screen. Simple.

Well, the process was indeed like that once - long ago. Initially, the web pages were simple text pages marked with a few labels that allow browser to display correctly. But it means that your browser does not, the designer would be to control how a page for the user, and there is nothing that infuriates the designers to have someone (or something) to determine the appearance of their work. Then he embarked on a long campaign, vigorously and ultimately successfully, to exercise the same kind of detailed control over the appearance of web pages as they did their counterparts in print - as pixel

This had several consequences. Web sites began to look more attractive and, in some cases, it became easier to use. They had pictures, component video, animations and type of attractive colors in the sources, and were easier on the eye of pages seriously unimaginative web soon. They began to appear, in fact, the pages of magazines. And to make this possible, the site has ceased to be a static text to search for objects from a file store, but the assembly of servers for each page of March, picking up various graphics and other components their various places, and the office of any mess in a stream in your browser, which then assembled for your pleasure.

It was all very nice and elegant. But there was one drawback: the web pages started to gain weight. During the last decade, the size of web pages (in kilobytes) has more than septupled. From 2003 to 2011, the average web page has increased by over 679kb 93.7kB.

aa Personally, I'm a minimalist I appreciate the higher content than aesthetics. Web sites and pages that I like tend to be like them because they are cognitively underdesigned loaded. Take, for example, the homepage of Peter Norvig, Google Director of Research. In terms of design that would make the full scope of graphic sickbag. Yet it is very functional, loads in a flash and has many wonderful things, such as the demolition memorable PowerPoint mentality in which he imagines how Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address would be considered a "presentation". Or his hilarious parody of Einstein "annual review of performance" for 1905, he published five papers that changed physics forever. (Einstein, you remember, was a humble patent clerk in Bern at the time.)

But besides these plums, Norvig site is full of good links to useful resources such as open source code that accompanies their textbooks. And it's so easy to navigate as something produced by a web design agency $ 100,000, plus an annual service contract.
