The terms web design and web development are frequently used interchangeably. However, in strict usage, web design refers to the visual elements of the site such as layout and images. Web development is the process of making the website using programming languages. When you enroll in the Web Design Professional course, you don’t need to worry about the difference, because our course covers it all.
As a web designer, you will be responsible for not only understanding what is needed to make a website functional, but also how to make it aesthetically pleasing to visitors. In this Web Design Professional course from ed2go, you will learn to build modern websites using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and more. You’ll create and decide how to best use graphics, video, forms, tables, layout, and navigation to build a site that is easy to use with readily available information.
You need formal web design training because it is important to have websites that look good and work properly no matter how they are accessed by the public. Helping an organization reach their target audience means giving that audience information and resources whether they are sitting in front of a computer at home or visiting a website on their phone while on the go. While a lot of the technical aspects of website design can be learned on-the-job or in a self-taught manner, understanding the principles of good website design as well as techniques for making your company stand out will help you produce better products, provide more opportunities and help you land more jobs and/or clients in the future.
There is no specific type of degree that a web designer/web developer is required to hold. In fact, according to Census data, 38% hold less than a 4-year degree. To enter a career as a web designer, a great place to start is completing an online training course like this one, which will help you learn basic HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Color Theory, Typography, Photoshop, Dreamweaver and more. Some employers may prefer a bachelor’s degree in graphic design, computer science or related field. This is a path you can choose to take if necessary, after you’ve gained some experience and decided that this is definitely the career for you.
A good web designer understands what looks good visually, but also what works functionally. You need to be able to effectively use design software like Adobe Photoshop, Dreamweaver and Illustrator as well as write code in HTML and CSS. You’ll also need to understand user experience (UX) and how to design a site that encourages users to take certain actions like requesting information or completing surveys based on the goals of your organization. Finally, you’ll need to understand SEO and how to integrate marketing and social media into your site for maximum visibility.
The hours of web designers vary depending on the volume of work. Typically, you will work a normal Monday through Friday, 9-5, but this can change quite a bit if you are coming up on a deadline or working on a very large project. Your hours can also be affected if you decide to go into business for yourself as this could mean that you choose when you want to work as it fits within your lifestyle.
Because our world is one that does business online, web designers can literally work for any company in any industry. According to the BLS, 1 in 6 currently are self-employed. Your specific work environment will depend in some ways on your employer — you could be required to come on-site and work in an office every day, or you may be able to work remotely from home. Regardless of your physical location, you can be sure that you will spend the majority of your time in front of a computer screen in this role.
