New web pages appear daily and so rapidly that getting an accurate count of how many are in existence at any one time is nearly impossible. Millions are out there, for sure, and the number is growing. Anyone who uses the web regularly becomes something of an expert in evaluating the effectiveness of the pages that he views. He may find that some are too busy, some load too slowly, some are too
. flashy and some are too dull. One may not be aware that web page designs are also evaluated by experts, and they receive grades that rank them against others. Training in the development of web pages is readily available, and it may involve a complex study that incorporates psychology, art, graphics design, English and many other disciplines. One may assume that web pages that are developed by people who have studied the technique are among the better sites. There is no requirement for one to know what he is doing when he develops a web design, however. Software is available to help one launch a site, and the information that one puts on the site is entirely up to him. One may seek professional advice, or he may go it alone.
