The process of creating and arranging visual elements, layout, and user interface components for websites to ensure functionality and aesthetic appeal.
Compound of 'web' (from World Wide Web, coined by Tim Berners-Lee in 1990) and 'design' (from Latin designare meaning 'to mark out'). The field emerged in the 1990s as the internet became accessible to the general public.
