Types of Website Design
Fixed design
Fixed web pages have a set width that won't alter when the browser is resized, no matter what device the website is being viewed on. On smaller devices, such as smartphones or tablets, content is harder to view and can be annoying for users due to the need to scroll horizontally to view the rest of the content on a page, or continuously ''pinch and expand'' to zoom into the page's text. When the browser on a screen is enlarged or reduced, images and text may visually fall apart on the screen.
Responsive design
This approach aims to make website viewing easier by displaying websites on different devices in forms that are easy to read and navigate. This avoids the user from having to resize, pan or scroll through the webpage to read the website's content. Essentially the website is easily viewable and usable on desktop computers, tablets and smartphones. When creating a responsive website design, designers do not need to design multiple website formats that have been rearranged for different devices.
Websites created using responsive design are designed to display different content as the browser is expanded or reduced to predetermined sizes. For example, when the browser size is reduced to 70% of its maximum width, the webpage may have been set to display only two columns on the screen rather than three. When the browser is expanded past 70% of the screen, the third column of content will return to the screen. Mashable.com has been designed this way; click the link and have a play around with the size of the browser for a better understanding.
Wordpress Design
Wordpress sites are primarily used by blog sites but are also being more widely used as standalone sites. WordPress was used by more than 26.4% of the top 10 million websites as of April 2016. WordPress users may install and switch between themes. Themes allow users to change the look and functionality of a WordPress website and they can be installed without altering the content or health of the site. WordPress's plugin architecture allows users to extend the features and functionality of a website or blog. WordPress has over 40,501 plugins available, each of which offers custom functions and features enabling users to tailor their sites to their specific needs. These customizations range from search engine optimization, to content management systems, to content displaying features, such as the addition of widgets and navigation bars. WordPress also features integrated link management; a search engine–friendly, clean permalink structure; the ability to assign multiple categories to articles; and support for tagging of posts and articles. WordPress blog posts can be edited in HTML, using the visual editor, or using one of a number of plugins that allow for a variety of customized editing features.
