The Evolution of Web Design

Web design has come a long way since the early days of the internet. Initially, websites were simple and text-heavy, but as technology advanced, so did design practices.

Early Days

In the 1990s, web design was primarily focused on functionality. Designers used basic HTML to create static pages with limited interactivity.

The Rise of CSS

With the introduction of CSS in the late 1990s, designers gained more control over layout and aesthetics, allowing for more visually appealing websites.

Responsive Design

As mobile usage increased, responsive design became essential. Websites now adapt to various screen sizes, ensuring a seamless user experience.
