Web Site Development Constraints

Web Site Development Constraints

1. There are a number of technical issues which influence the amount of information that can be included in a Web site.

   • These issues are:
     • Bandwidth constraints
       • Bandwidth: The amount of data able to travel in 1 second between the location of our Web site and the computer. The speed depends on file size
     • screen resolution
       • The measure of the number of pixels that your screen is set to display
     • colour palette
       • It is important to bear in mind that colours will look different on different systems depending on the number of colours in the colour palette, the monitors, etc.
     • browser compatibility and restrictions
       • Browser compatibility refers to the ability of a certain website to appear fully functional on different browsers that are available in the market.
         • The best way to deal with cross-browser compatibility issues is to design Web sites using the right tools and HTML based on standards-compliant code.
     • font availability
       • Font availability, always use system fonts such as Arial or verdana, but remember that specific fonts may not be available on visitors computers
     • font size
       • Font size, most browsers allow users to customise their default font size, but individual user size settings may change the font size used in your design.
