Today in creative digital media the day started with a woman called Sally coming in and talking about child abuse, we got given questions and most people answered them accurately. It was a serious issue but the woman felt that it was a subject that had to be talked about. After the break we began an assessment on a job title of our choice and i choose to do a web designer.

JOB TITLE: Web Designer


SECTOR Corporate

  1. Description of what someone with this tob title is generally involved in (where appropriate you should collect a typical job description

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 and finding the answers to questions about why the site is needed, who the target audience will be, who the leading competitors are, etc;
  • producing a design that will be attractive to the target user, has a logical navigation system and has all the features required;
  • writing web pages in a combination of codes, such as HTML and XHTML, CSS, Javascript, Actionscript, ColdFusion, .Net, Flash, or using code-generating programs, such as Dreamweaver and Visual Studio;
  • 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 e-commerce and server side technologies, such as PHP and .Net, 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.
