2. What Is Website Design?
 Website design is the act of designing and creating websites, and it
is quickly becoming a modern art form. The design of a website can
often be the deciding factor of whether or not visitors leave or stay.
 During the early 1990’s, after the introduction of the World Wide
Web, there were literally just a handful of websites online. The
number of websites grew at an exponential rate during the end of
the 20th century, and today there are hundreds of millions of
websites. Millions of new websites are added each month, and the
majority of these websites are created by website designers.

3. Professional Web Designers
 Professional Web Designers focus a lot on the look and feel of Web
pages. Many, if not most Web designers work as contractors or for
contract design firms. This means that a lot of their focus needs to
be on contracts, legal issues, and what to charge. But in order to
get contracts, designers need to know how to create good layouts,
write or manage excellent content, and then promote and market
both themselves and the sites they create.

4. Professional Web
Programmers
 Professional Web Programmers focus on the unseen part of Web
pages. Things like the CGI, scripts, and programs that make Web
sites work. Plus programmers work on the servers and keep them
up and running. They manage the security of Web sites and Web
pages. Web programmers often implement and manage content
management systems and e-commerce portals. Being a Web
programmer is often less glamorous than a Designer, but it is just as
important a role.

5. What Does a Website
Designer Do
 A website designer is often responsible for the layout, color scheme,
and general design of a website. Designing a website is not just
about making said website aesthetically pleasing, though. Skilled
website designers must also make a website easy to navigate, so
visitors can find exactly what they need as soon as possible.
Website designers must also know how to help a website rank in a
search engine and where to place advertisements so they are
effective.
 Website designers are usually creative types, but extensive
knowledge of computers is also necessary. Even designers
who use simple website design software should have at
least some computer programming and coding knowledge.

6. What Is the Average Salary of a Website
Designer
 Most website designers
charge anywhere from $20
to $50 an hour. This rate
can vary depending on
things such as the
experience of the designer
as well as the complexity
of the website. The
average website designer
can often expect to make
roughly $50,000 a year. A
website designer’s salary,
however, is largely
determined by his skills
and how often he works.
 Some of the more talented
and hardworking website
designers, for example,
can make over $100,000
annually. Amateur or part-
time designers, on the
other hand, might only may
$20,000 a year.

7. What Kind of Education Does a Website Designer
Need
 There are no set education
requirements to become a
website designer, and
some motivated individuals
may be able to break into
this field simply by learning
design and programming
skills on their own. Website
design is a rapidly growing
and highly competitive
industry, however, and
successful website
designers usually have at
least a few years of post-
secondary school under
their belts.
 A website designer needs
to be artistic as well as
computer savvy. Therefore,
most website design
degree programs focus on
combining digital media
courses with computer and
web programming courses.
At the very least, website
designers should know
basic web programming
languages, particularly
HTML and CSS.

8. Where to Start
 If you're thinking of becoming a professional
Web designer, there are a number of things to
consider. Firstly, there are many different
avenues you can take as a professional Web
developer. You can also choose to go
freelance or work in a corporation. And being a
Web developer isn't all fun and games - make
sure you know what the job will entail. Finally,
getting certification or other education is a
great way to make sure you're prepared.
