Semiotics of the web interface: analysis and guidelines

Abstract

The growth of technological innovations, internet developments, and their (web) applications has raised a definite issue on retaining the web interface quite understandable, and a need is also being felt on developing suitable and coherent guidelines for designing interface to swell the user interpretability of web signs. These design principles are semiotics by nature and semiotics is the science of signs, that is, of meaning’s representations. For this, new and important perspectives for interface design would be discovered by Semiotic Analysis on interface signs. Therefore, this research mainly focuses on the valuable insights that semiotic analysis could offer to present the fundamental concepts to create understandable signs.
