Web Designer

A web designer is responsible for creating the design and layout of a website or web pages. It and can mean working on a brand new website or updating an already existing site.

However, there can be crossover between the two roles. Responsibilities of the job include: - creating website designs - producing sample sites - meeting with clients to discuss requirements and/or project progress - demonstrating and receiving feedback about draft sites - keeping up to date with recent technological and software developments - developing skills and expertise in appropriate software/programming languages such as HTML and Javascript - creating products that are user-friendly, effective and appealing - digital retouching and image editing - working as part of a multidisciplinary team **There can be some pressure to meet deadlines and so extra hours may be required.
