Web designers used to be similar to graphic designers in a way that they both worked with presentation, but now websites are more interactive, that's where the web designers stray from the layout of things and concern themselves more with the responsive aspect of sites. Interactive design, being only a couple of decades old, is relatively new.
Interactive Design- The study of devices with which the user can interact.
Experience Design-
Human- computer interaction- Being only concerned with the interaction between users and computers.
IxD Concepts
Gold- driven Design
Using research to see what the user wants to get out of the site to make it more successful.
Interface as Magic
Making interfaces so good the the user simply has to 'see' them as an extension of the underlying system. 'Less is less' giving the user just what they need.
Usability
The ease that the user can use the interface to achieve there goal. Web designers should always have this in mind.
Affordances
The quality of the interface and how straightforward it is for the user to perform an action.
