The intent of web design<ref>[http://www.usefulref.com/referencetopics/webdevelopment/Web_design.html Web Design Development Guide]</ref> is to create a web site—a collection of electronic files that reside on a web [[server]]/[[servers]] and present content and interactive features/interfaces to the end user in form of Web pages once requested. Such elements as text, [[Bitmap|bit-mapped images]] ([[GIF]]s, [[JPEG]]s) and forms can be placed on the page using [[HTML]]/[[XHTML]]/[[XML]] tags. Displaying more complex media (vector graphics, animations, videos, sounds) requires plug-ins such as [[Adobe Flash]], [[QuickTime]], [[Java (software platform)|Java]] run-time environment, etc. [[Plug-ins]] are also embedded into web page by using [[HTML]]/[[XHTML]] tags.
Improvements in browsers' compliance with [[W3C]] standards prompted a widespread acceptance and usage of [[XHTML]]/[[XML]] in conjunction with Cascading Style Sheets ([[CSS]]) to position and manipulate web page elements and objects. Latest standards and proposals aim at leading to [[web browser|browsers]]' ability to deliver a wide variety of [[Digital media|media]] and accessibility options to the client possibly without employing [[plug-ins]].
Typically web pages are classified as static or dynamic:

===Context===
Web design is similar (in a very simplistic way) to traditional print publishing. Every [[website]] is an information display container, just as a book; and every web page is like the [[page]] in a [[book]]. However, web design uses a [[Software framework|framework]] based on [[digital code]] and [[display technology]] to construct and maintain an environment to distribute information in multiple formats. Taken to its fullest potential, web design is undoubtedly the most sophisticated and increasingly complex method to support communication in today's world.
