Web Designer Career Profile
Web Designer is a person that creates and arranges the pages that makes up a website. They often have to balance how a page looks versus how a web page functions, which can involve some compromises. Of recent importance is website accessibility, this refers to creating web pages that are accessible to anyone, no matter what device they are using. Website accessibility also stresses the importance of making a website accessible to those with any kind of disability.Web Designers may or may not have advanced degrees. A degree in Computer Science or a marketing related degree (Business Administration or E-Commerce) is most common. Many Website Designers are self-taught which I really like since it means that it is easy to understand and apprehend, starting on their own and learning design skills and design languages as they develop pages.
There are a couple of common ways to become a Web Designer :
- Formal Training : A certificate program or advanced degree program that leads to a position as a Web Designer. Any internships or small consulting projects you can complete to get practical experience will help enormously when it comes time to land your first full time job.
- Self Training : Web Designers that are self taught and end up working in a corporate environment often don't start with the company as a Web Designer. You may start out in marketing, administrative, or other role and take on web design or may lead to a position with a different company
Possible Companies :
- Microsof Corporation
- Sun Microsystem
- Apple Computer
