desktop publishing

Desktop publishing is the practice of combining graphic elements with text to create the designs common throughout communication media. Newsletters, brochures, business cards, advertisements, and more depend on the skills of desktop publishers. By bringing together these elements, desktop publishers enhance our ability to communicate with one another. In the business world, the ability to effectively communicate with clients and customers is crucial.

website design

Perhaps it isn't necessary to differentiate between desktop publishing and website design. The latter is, to a large degree, desktop publishing in an electronic medium. But there are specific factors involved in website design that suggest benefits to differentiation. Taking these factors into account extends beyond traditional desktop publishing. For instance:
  1. search engine optimization
  2. browser rendering issues
  3. software and hardware compatibility
  4. standards compliant coding
  5. meeting usability standards
