By breaking the web design in to these three layers, the web site becomes more globalized and easier to localize. It is necessary to identify the NLS data in the design phase of the web project and provide ways to make the web pages locally independent. This means adapting it to fit the social, political, and economic realities of a country. For example, some graphics are inappropriate or offensive to various audiences. Images such as hand gestures, sports images, national monuments, even traffic signals, need to be adapted for the localized sites.
Colors have various connotations, as well.
