What is your understanding of designing for the web vs. designing for print.

Considerations need to be evaluated for all audiences when using any form of published communications so they are assessable to everyone.The most important aspect is to grab the reader whether that be a teen mom or a established businessman. Web design needs to get your information across in a organized appealing way, web pages need to be understandable and easy to find with the information that the reader wants to get to.Web sites need proper marketing through search engines and  directories for the masses to access your site. If they can not find what they are looking for the reader will go to someone elses site. NOT THE GOAL! Print design also needs to be pleasant and concise for the audience and can at times be a better alternative than the web however, can be more costly. Personally, culture is driving communication to internet based form, through all the different devices and technology we have. How many post offices have they closed in the past coupke of years, books on nook or computer, huge marketing tools through www and companies charging you to have the bill or statement actually mailed to you? Hmm...this may be a good poll:)
