Karl Gerstner and Ladislav Sutnar are pioneers in the teachings of web design. Gerstner is known for his first ideas of conforming elements in design. These ideas are now used when designing the the various screen resolutions we have at the moment: for computers, smartphones, smartwatches, smart televisions, etc. The elements of a website or application conform to fit the size of its intended screen. Sutnar is most famous for his design of the elements themselves. Although these were graphic print design principles for his catalogs, these design rules are universal. They are used to make design more effective to help the users navigate throughout pages and achieve your end-goal.
Henry Dreyfuss was a great American Industrial Designer who focused on Human-Centered Design and Interaction.
