My first entry..(Web designer) (go back »)

Hi..

this is my first time to  post a blog..this is our assignment.

we need to find a career option and discuss its job description..

I chose a Web designer..i don't know why..

I think this job is interesting..i suppose..hehe..

anyway here it is..

Check out the job description of a Web designer and its possible companies.

Web designers are responsible for the layout, visual appearance and usability of a

website. This role may overlap with that of a Multimedia programmer and web

architect. Using a combination of graphic design skills and technical knowledge of

how web pages are created, the work involves:

    * liaising closely with a customer or client at the design stage to answer questions

such as: why is the site needed? who are the target audience? who are the leading

competitors? etc;
   

* producing a design that will be attractive to the target user, has a logical navigation

and has all the features required;
 

   * writing web pages in a combination of codes, such as hypertext mark-up language

(HTML), Javascript, Actionscript, ColdFusion, Java, Perl and Flash, or using

code-generating programs, such as Dreamweaver;

    * deciding on how images and other material will be digitally optimised and

presented for the web;

    * ensuring that material on the web site is accessible to all groups including those

with disabilities;

    * testing the site for functionality in different browsers and at different resolutions;

    * fixing errors.

Web designers will have knowledge of graphic design packages such as Fireworks

or Photoshop

in order to produce basic layout and manipulate images. Skills in cascading style

sheets (CSS),

 e-commerce and server side technologies, such as PHP and Perl, and internet

security are also

important. As users gain faster access to the internet via broadband,

web designers with skills in multimedia and interactivity are likely to be in greater

demand.

I think its possible companies are..those compapanies who have their website to

mantain and design...I suppose almost all of the campany right now has a website..

To my teacher. God Bless Ma'am hehe...
