bilis_money Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 hi guys. I need the web 2.0 rules and guidelines specially on graphics designing and the lay outing of the page. I've used google but i haven't found them. I know i saw these rules before in a freelancer bidding website. The problem is i did not bookmark them. And by the way, why is everybody want this web 2.0 design? I just really don't understand why they wanted it... Thank you very much in advance.

AndyB Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Web 2.0 is marketing hype. Like most snake oil, it has no rules or regulations to 'control' it. Why not make up your own 'rules' and call it web 3.0 and be ahead of the curve? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obsidian Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Web 2.0 is marketing hype. Like most snake oil, it has no rules or regulations to 'control' it. Why not make up your own 'rules' and call it web 3.0 and be ahead of the curve? Great idea! Honestly, though, there is no defined structure to what Web 2.0 is. Basically, there is a "look" that many people say is Web 2.0, but when asked to define it, they will point you to an endless list of examples rather than trying to define it. As AndyB said, 95% of Web 2.0 is marketing hype. Is the concept of giving your content control over to the users a good thing? Sure, within reason, but some sites have been doing that for years, and yet people hold to the idea that Web 2.0 is a new thing... go figure.

roopurt18 Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 I think Web 2.0 encompasses a couple of different things that a few sites have incorporated into the past, but are just now becoming mainstream. 1) UGC - User Generated Content 2) An emphasis on simple designs. Since more and more of every page we visit contains content, there isn't a whole lot of room for fluff. As a result the emphasis on flashy graphics, image maps, navigation buttons, etc. has declined. I think in terms of content, Web 2.0 signifies that your content flows intuitively and that you can quickly scan a page for the relevant pieces of information you're seeking without being bogged down by graphics or flash media.

obsidian Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 it's the Filipino language. Hey, bro, is that tagalog, ilocano or what? I grew up in Guam, and one of my best friends is tagalog, so I'm always very interested. 2) An emphasis on simple designs. roopert, I don't know that simple designs is quite specific enough. Most sites that are recognized as "Web 2.0" are very open with a good use of white space. That doesn't always mean "simple," but I agree that in most cases, that does fit.

WebGeek182 Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Web 2.0 is an evolving entity, and more of a mindset than something you can define by rules and such. The main definition is interactive and more like a program than a static web page from the early 90's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelmanronald06 Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Web 2.0? why don't they just call it New Age Web Design or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neylitalo Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Here's an article describing how Web 2.0 came to be - I'm not sure how accurate it is, but it's number one in a google search for "origin web 2.0". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bilis_money Posted March 15, 2007 Author Share Posted March 15, 2007 thanks neylitalo. but, I'm more on focus on web 2.0 design layout. i already read some tutorials and articles on it. and there is a saying that attracted me to study it more. here --> "Don't decorate, communicate.". i'll guess this make sense why they wanted web 2.0 design. and ditch the common, old and too much graphics design.
