The introduction of the internet has had a huge impact on most peoples lives, a new source of information and communication, and for businesses, a new area of advertising, marketing and a virtual expansion of the shop floor. With the ever changing requirements of businesses and with all the competition that the global network forces on the market, becoming a part of the 'internet revolution' and having a web site that reflects the services and calibre of a business, has become paramount for most companies. Because technology is improving all of the time, the competition has become fierce and the challenge for the graphic designer to use traditional design practices in a digital environment to create attractive and functional web sites has also become competitive. 'In the early days of the internet, web page construction was a relatively simple process. there was only one browser for viewing pages, and the constraints of the medium meant that the placement of small images in relation to text was the only consideration.' As with designing for print, the graphic designers role is to create web pages with the appropriate visual form.
