Answered by GPT-5 mini AI
Web design is the process of planning and creating the visual appearance, layout, content structure, and user experience of websites and web pages so they are attractive, usable, and effective at meeting user and business goals.

Key elements:
- Visual design: color, typography, imagery and overall aesthetics.
- Layout and composition: grids, spacing, and arrangement of elements.
- Information architecture & navigation: organizing content so users can find what they need.
- Interaction & usability: controls, feedback, and workflows that make the site easy to use.
- Responsive design: adapting the site to different screen sizes and devices.
- Accessibility: making content usable for people with disabilities.
- Prototyping & testing: wireframes, mockups and user testing to refine the design.

Web design overlaps with web development (the coding/implementation) but focuses primarily on user-facing appearance, behavior, and experience.
