What all are the rules in Web 2.0 Standard ? I just searched the forum, but did't find a proper answer for this ?
You couldn't find them because there's no such animal as Web 2.0. It's simply a buzz term used in a convention speech that just happened to catch on. Now, lots of people without any clue talk about web 2.0 design in order to sell their amateurish hack design services to unknowledgeable clients. It actually refers to the second wave of web businesses that stress community and interaction. This forum falls in that category, as do Amazon and Wikipedia. cheers, gary
So I heard that in Web 2.0 standard : Tableless,flash less,professional color mix,seo friendly design ? Is it true ?
Again there is no such standards as 'Web 2.0 standard". Along with the points mentioned above, yes certain kind of design also get associated with web 2.0 in general. That is not any hard and fast rules! Tableless design is something many people would associate with web 2.0, so is graphic designs with layers, gradients etc. Ajax is another aspect that is closely associated with web 2.0. Flashless, SEO friendly are general SEO rules and I guess they dont have anything to do with web 2.0
These are some of the properties of websites from developers who maintain their professional skills at a high level. Since the coming of css aware browsers (what, 6 years ago?), developers who still build* table based layouts are, at best, the new amateurs. Developers who make flash based pages are uncaring about the users' benefits, accessibility or just plain bloat. They are amateurs. Color mix is a graphic design issue. While pleasing is nicer, it has nothing to do with Web 2.0. All well structured, semantic, well formed and accessible pages are seo friendly if part of an intelligently architected site structure. Modern web development practice is serendipitously contemporaneous with Web 2.0, but one does not imply the other. cheers, gary * Don't confuse building new sites with maintaining old sites. Many of those old sites have a tremendous investment in their infrastructure that makes converting to more modern practices economically infeasible. Maybe when they decide to do a complete redesign of the site ….
This has much less to do with web 2.0 and MUCH more to do with the evolution of web design and development in general. Do yourself a favor and avoid falling in line with the trend.
but dont get too far outside the trend lol. Rounded icons, mirrored icons, more css, are the things i think of most with web 2.0
The only consistent thing that I see with the sites associated with "web 2.0" is 'bright and shiny.' Sheesh, it's just not appropriate for everything. I shouldn't see a "bright and shiny" website for a funeral home. LOL. It's okay to use a more reserved color palette. Not everything calls for big orangy and lime green icons. And as much as I love a nice velvety gradient every now and again, for the love of gosh can I go one day without seeing a bright red-> bright blue background fade? There's no respect for what is appropriate together and appropriate for the actual client anymore. It's just "bright and shiny." LOL
Graphic design has nothing to do with Web 2.0. There are any number of static (∴ no connection with 2.0) sites with rounded this and that, reflections and perfect marriages of html+css. Likewise there are numerous examples of tabled layouts, with little or no use of css and not a rounded or reflected anything to be seen that are pure Web 2.0. By all means, make your site a pleasure to behold as long as it doesn't get in the the way of doing what the visitor came for. But, do not begin to think that it makes for a Web 2.0 site. gary
More over web 2.0 also assumes using of social networks, using only DIVs in the design, using as much text as possible versus images...You should read wikipedia...
web2.0 is just a definition. it is not something details. blog div css xhtml youtube flick ajax they are all web2.0
if you want to know what is web 2.0 read this "Technology overview" actually better go thru the whole stuff http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_2.0 if you want to know what is web 2.0 style (design), you should read this http://www.webdesignfromscratch.com/web-2.0-design-style-guide.cfm
Forget it, Doc. Some folks are just so invested in their beliefs that they can't give them up no matter how wrong. gary
Web 2.0 covers a lot of stuff. It's a philosophy of connecting with others in online conversation, web design and functionality. I think the design stuff is monkey see monkey do. People will follow the trend setters. Just like in fashion.
