There are many websites that I like and www.webmd.com is one that I like for information on medical things. It is layed out very well and has colors that are pleasing to the eye. It is user-friendly to use. I also like that the information is layed out so that you can see it and I do not have to hunt for what I want to find on the page. It is designed with CSS and not tables which makes less markups for the pages. It does not validate it has 131 errors on the pages which is not a good sign for the website. I like to use this website to find out medical information and find easy to use.
Another website that I like is www.google.com I use this website often. It is a pretty website and is layout well on the page. One thing that like is that you can customize your page with a different theme if you do not like the standard theme on the page. It has ease of use it is a very easy webpage to navigate within. When I went to check on whether the page validated it did not validate it had 68 errors to the page. It is designed with CSS and not table which helps keep the load time down. I use this site quite often.
One that I do not like is www.bhg.com it is not one of my favorite websites it is not layed out well and has pop up subscriptions when you click on on the different navigation buttons. When I checked it to see if it validated it had 816 errors and it is styled with CSS . It is not one of my favorite sites to visit.

Web Development Perceptions
I am getting the hang of HTML and writing the code for a document. I have learned that if you open a tag you must close sometimes that is a relativley simple thing but it will hang you up the most.With CSS I am just learning to understand what you are to do with it and am excited to get more understanding of how to use it more effectively, and Java Script is confusing to me but, by the end of the semester I hope to have grasped an understanding of it. With each new course I gain a whole new understanding of the web.
There is more to web design than looking at great looking web site. I have seen changes quickly in what designers have done since the first web designers began. It was functional and there was not much design to the site. So now it must function and be able to attract viewers to the site. If the designer does not know to make it function well they will not be able to have many visitors to the site. Thus, not do what the site is design to do.
I think that technology is growing by leaps and bounds and that we need to keep learning because in order not to fall behind in the gains that are being made in technology. In the last couple of years web sites have used Flash to make video better on the web. So I think that the designer must always be looking for new ways to make the web site fuction and look attractive to the viewer.
I think that there will always be room for designers, but I think that they will have to expand not only design but also know how to program. I think that we have just tapped the surface of what can be done on web sites. I think technology is taking off and we need to be always learning. In the future I think that web developers will need to really expand what they do to keep up with technology.
