Web design encompasses many different skills and disciplines in the production and maintenance of websites.
Areas
- Web graphic design
- User interface design
- Authoring, including standardized code and proprietary software
- User experience design
- Search engine optimization
Often many individuals will work in teams covering different aspects of the design process, although some designers will cover them all.
The term web design is normally used to describe the design process relating to the front-end (client-side) design of a website including writing mark up.
Web design partially overlaps web engineering in the broader scope of web development.
Usability and accessibility
Web designers are expected to have an awareness of usability and if their role involves creating mark up then they are also expected to be up to date with web accessibility guidelines.
