I was reading articles about Web Standards , when I came across a guy called Dustin Brewer and his insights about this topic.

I do believe that in order to manage anything one would need standards. That wouldn’t mean, ofcourse that these standards will always remain the same. Especially in a world of ever changing technology.

Before I had taken scripting or reading about web design I had no idea that browsers could react so differently. I knew of course that I would get different views and colors because of browser sizes, and monitor differences, but didn’t know why some web sites just didn’t work in certain environments.

I think this blog was a good reference for me, to understand why things are being done in certain ways, when we could do them in other ways too.

And that is to create the most consistent looking and operating website on the web that is easy to maintain, read, access, and even keep clients satisfied in the long run because their websites will function correctly in different browsers.

In designing for print media, you don’t really have to worry about channel changes, if it is for a certain magazine or certain medium it will be defined based on the given media specs and all one has  to do is to create the best and most relevant design possible for that defined channel. And you are done with the format. 

I had never thought how my web site design could effect a client if I was not preparing it for different browser types, and could even effect my career as a web designer- but again, of course, I’m just a beginner.
