The purpose of Web 2.0 design is to focus on the user, and to step up the level of interactivity. Instead of limiting the user to simply viewing the content you have put on your page, a Web 2.0 design will facilitate dialog & user created content. Some examples of Web 2.0 are blogs, mashups, social networking sites and video sharing sites. In this article we will discuss the different characteristics of a Web 2.0 design.
The first thing to keep in mind when designing, is less is more. Removing unnecessary components will not only make your website load faster, it will direct your users attention to the important parts. It is said that you only have 3.5 seconds to capture and retain the viewers attention, and with Web 2.0, it won’t be hard to do.
