Where a web designer can go next

2 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a web designer already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Web designers are in charge of creating the visual elements, layout and other aspects such as the easiness of use of a website. They follow the different phases of a website creation from the design to the implementation until it goes live. They work side by side with front-end developers to design user interfaces that met the needs of customers and are also appealing. They are responsible of developing mock-ups and of confirming the technical feasibility of the product. They can use and put together various types of elements for the website including graphics, animations, text, videos and photos. They are in contact with clients and stakeholders of the company to ensure that the design of the website meets their needs.
