Web design is a science.
It is an art as much as it is a science, but it is an art, for art encompasses all of our many and diverse endeavors when they are done to their fullest. The most pleasing, interesting and visited sites are created by firms that know first the science and art of communication, the science and art of design, the science and art of printing and add in the science and art of programming. Then combine them in innovative ways of effective communication.
