Job chosen- Web Designer

I chose this job because I want to learn more about web design; I also want to find out the positives and negatives of the job and how much money you would earn on average. I also think I would enjoy doing a job such as web design.
Creating websites is more fun and varied than some of the other digital media jobs
The job is well paid and interesting. I would get a great deal of satisfaction at producing websites for business, individuals and companies.
Job would be challenging and ever changing.
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, Action script, Cold Fusion, .Net, Flash, or using code-generating programs, such as Dream weaver 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.
