From the Paper
"Web designers are impacted not only by their own inventiveness but also by the continually changing array of ways that the web is being used. Design of educational web sites for example was originally considered innovative if it featured primary colors and child-appropriate content. The web content for such sites was essentially no more than printed text loaded onto the Internet however. The only real advantage over textbooks was easier access by a wider range of people. As new software and technology have been ..."

Abstract
The paper considers the software methodologies that are factored into building a website as well as the numerous modern web applications and innovations. The paper looks at the initial web languages of HTML and XML to programming languages of javascript. The paper shows how the proliferation of the Internet into every aspect of public, private, professional and commercial life has designated the necessity of web design tools which are flexible and accessible.

From the Paper
"The 1990's is a decade which will be historically marked both for its features of exponential economic growth and a momentous expansion in our technological capabilities as a civilization. Chief among the catalysts for both of these watershed trends would be the inception of the internet into the mainstream economic, society and culture of America and the world. It would prove to be an incredibly powerful and empowering means through which we could communicate, interact and conduct commerce. This latter capacity would prove essential to shaping the way that we shop and the way that we live. By the turn of the century, the internet had become an assumptive aspect of most businesses, evolving from an obscure fad used in the public sector mostly for frivolous communicative exchanges to a necessary vehicle for businesses to succeed in a competitive consumer market."

From the Paper
"There are many web sites that reached success because of a good web design. When we say a web design is good, it doesn't mean that the web design has to have too much decorative such as too much colors or graphics. A web design is good when it is naturally pleasing to the eye of the online users, and, more importantly, when it is able to satisfy and provide the needs of the users. A good web design must be convenient to use, providing users with systematic approaches to do what they need (Twist). Systematic approaches mean that the web design must provide the users with functions and buttons that will help them do what they need to do and go where they need to go (online speaking of course). This characteristics lead to usability features that must always be a part of a good web design. Some examples of successful web sites because of a good web design are Yahoo, Google, Ebay, and Amazon. These web sites can be basically characterized to have simple, manageable, and usable web designs."

"Navigation is one of the most essential and pivotal parts of all design features on the Web. Essentially navigation which is the way a viewer explores a site is the management principle which allows the content to be seen and facilitates accessibility. Poor navigation is the surest route to drive viewers away. The trend in design is towards straightforward and functional navigation which manages and directs the flow of site content. The following view (Koreto) clearly illustrates the idea of basic navigation. "As your site grows, navigation will become an important issue. Your home page should link to the other main pages. " (Koreto, 1997, p 83) The author continues to expand on this important aspect and to develop certain essential aspects related to good navigation."

Summary

From the Paper
"Web design is a complex process that involves the development of web materials and information that fits the goals of the function and or organization that is being developed on a website. (Lopuck 37) The development of web pages has often been thought of as a specialized area of expertise to be tackled by those who are trained in the tools used to create them, yet more recently designers have developed tools that allow any user to create web pages and host them without understanding the basic software applications that are normally used to do so. (Castro 13) Web pages, to a large degree have become an area of commonality, where nearly anyone with the ability to follow directions and use a PC can build a webpage, through basic design principles with limited skills. This trend creates a need for more basic understandings of web design that create usable pages that match the intention of the client and the purpose of the website and pages. (Mayhew 4)."

Abstract
This paper discusses how a Web designer needs to understand how to help companies create, develop, and implement successful Internet strategies, as well as write computer HTML code and other custom programming scripts. It looks at how successful Internet Web design is a function of combining experience in Internet marketing, graphic design, and expertise in the latest Web-based technology. A successful Web site will be custom-tuned for the individual business and will take into consideration the clients' needs for Web sites, intranets and extranets for corporate clients, across a broad range of industries. It also examines how meeting the needs of clients is the top priority of a successful Web designer, not displaying their programming wizardry. As a Web site developer, a person must strive to accurately reflect the organization through online branding.

From the Paper
"Before building a web site, the site owner must determine the purpose of the site. Will it be a contact center for customers, or friend? Will it be a central focus of the company, or a personal, virtual scrap book for the family? Will the web site be interactive, inviting the participation of the visitor, or a static, electronic brochure? The first generations of web sites were predominantly the latter, static electronic version of printed materials. The visitors could discover information, and route email through the web site to company staff. Second generation websites added interactivity to the content. The visitors could request information, and have it immediately delivered. Web sites included purchase options for basic products."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the Disney web site. It begins with a description of the physical and visual set up of the site but what follows is an analysis of how the web site reflects the basic philosophy and marketing strategies of the global corporation and the surrounding culture. The paper provides numerous examples of the commercialism found throughout the website and examines the dynamics between web design, web content, and social realities. The paper concludes that technology and culture are intertwined and that Disney is a prime example of this association.

From the Paper
"Disney is in the entertainment business and their Web site is suitably entertaining. The commercial aspects of the site are, however, thinly veiled. The purpose of the Web site is to sell Disney products and promote its brand. The Web site's interactive multimedia content is essentially a marketing tool: a means of engaging consumers. The Disney Web site is more than just an interactive playhouse for children; the site is a crucial marketing tool. The Web site links together Disney with its target markets: children of all ages and their parents. The Disney Web page features Hannah Montana and other preteen characters explicitly, which also seems to suggest that the company is targeting teenage girls even more so than younger children. Moreover, the "D23" boutique entices users with the slogan, "Are you 23?" Teenage girls wanting to boost their sense of maturity will be drawn there, and so will adults who have affection for Disney motifs and products. One odd advertisement in the D23 store is for a T-Shirt that is touted as being an "Adult Graphic Tee." The term "adult graphic" usually refers to something less innocent than Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck. Wakeford (2000) would note that the Disney Web site rests squarely "within the social and economic infrastructure" of the prevailing culture (p. 41)."

Abstract
This paper reviews Richard Fletcher's book, "The Cross and the Crescent," which presents a history of the relations between Muslims and Christians. The reviewer sees Fletcher's work as coming at an opportune times, since today the West often feels a sense of hysteria regarding anything related to Islam. The reviewer sees the "The Cross and the Crescent" as providing important information about Islamic civilization and culture, presenting the Arab world in a more comprehensive way. The reviewer also describes the Muslim view of the Christian world, and concludes by citing Fletcher's opinion that both cultures influenced each other.

From the Paper
"Fletcher's book focuses on the attitude that the Muslims had regarding to the Christians and vice-versa more than to purely historical aspects. For example, he pays not so much attention to the historical events of the crusades, but to the effect they had on the Muslim population. The book provides a valuable insight to Islam and to the relations between Islam and Christianity."
