Web applications are programs that allow website visitors, customers to submit and retrieve data to/from a database over the Internet from their web browser. The data is then presented by the web application through a web server.
There are many examples of web applications that are poorly designed because they are built by the developers, without the involvement of a designer. This contributes to poor user experience and an application that do not improve user experience.
There are fundamental guidelines to follow when designing a web application that produces improved user experience, user interaction, user friendly, clean, simple and a design that is appealing.
I’ve put together a list of resources and elements to help you create a web application that will surely impress your client, but more importantly user acceptance which ultimately determines the success or failure of the application.
