- Web Designers are people who have to solve a client's communication problem and brand their identity in a web-specific way. A web designer’s main function is to organize information, shape identities, and create memorable experiences that entertain while also communicating.
- To be a web designer, you have to know how to use code as well as coding programs and the more types of code and programs a designer knows how to use, the better. There are many things that a web designer’s job entails but the major ones are the knowledge of coding, how to create graphics, knowledge of the different types and styles of sites, how to create visually appealing sites and also to keep up on the site itself.
