Web designers use computer programs to design and implement websites, using both creative and technical skills.
Web designers use computer programs to design and implement websites, using both creative and technical skills.
The first web design was created by Tim Berners-Lee, the founder of the World Wide Web, in 1991. Web design is a very new profession and as such is still developing. Web designers regularly need to learn new skills and then use them to develop innovative solutions.
The fundamentals of this skill include knowledge of, and expertise in, the technology and codes behind websites, user interface planning, usability design and site administration. Creative skills are also important; the use of colour, layout and graphics on the finished pages can define a successful website.
